Shaun Davies, MP for Telford, welcomes Telford Brewery to Parliament for the opportunity to put their beer ‘Ironbridge Gold’ into the The House of Commons world famous ‘Strangers’ Bar in the House of Parliament.

Rowton Brewery who have pubs throughout Telford, has locally brewed their Ironbridge Gold beer in Shropshire since 2008. Telford’s MP Shaun Davies was delighted to invite Steve and the team down to Westminster recently to give drinkers a taste of their very own local brewed beer the beer was on sale for MPs and VIPS for the week.

Steve from Rowton commented: “Our trip to Westminster was such a memorable experience. We all enjoyed the guided tour, with the highlights being the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft and also being able to sit in the gallery to watch a debate live in the House of Commons. Our excitement peaked when we got to the Strangers Bar and saw our Ironbridge Gold beer on the bar and the day got even better when Shaun Davies offered to get a round in. Sitting on the terrace outside Westminster, overlooking the Thames, London Bridge and the London Eye drinking a pint of our real ale will be a memory our family will cherish for a long time to come.

Shaun added: We’re lucky to have some truly outstanding local businesses here in Telford and I’m proud to champion them whenever I can – it’s such an important part of putting our town on the map. It was an absolute pleasure to welcome a fantastic local brewery, Rowton, to the Houses of Parliament to serve their own beer. A huge thank you to Steve and the team for making the trip to Westminster. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. It’s always a surreal and special feeling to bring a piece of Telford with me to work.”
