Independence Ale

 Lucky 7 brewery in Hay have brought out a special ale.

To quote the label: "On the 1st of April 1977, Richard Booth proclaimed Hay an 'Independent Kingdom' with himself as King.  To celebrate home rule for Hay, Monty Python's Terry Jones brewed the first Independence Ale.  In 2019 we sadly lost our King, Richard Booth, and also in early 2020, Terry Jones.  This beer has been made as a homage, with very carefully selected local Herefordshire hops, malted grains, and yeast."

The hop varieties are Emporer, Jester and Harlequin.  The beer strength is 4.6%, and it's full of flavour.

The label has a crown and a jester's hat, which seems fitting for the reign of King Richard.

Also, it's a Vegan friendly beer.
