MPs to taste award-winning beer
Hobsons beer
Hobsons Brewery was established in 1993
A Shropshire brewery is to have one of its beers put on sale at the House of Commons.

Hobsons Mild will be the guest beer in the Strangers Bar in the run up to Christmas after a request by MP for Ludlow, Philip Dunne.

The beer is brewed in his constituency in Cleobury Mortimer, near Ludlow, and was voted the best in Britain at the Great British Beer Festival in August.

The 3.2% drink was described by judges as having "plenty of hop character".

It was selected ahead of more than 50 beers, some made by major brewers, in eight different categories.

"It is good to see a decade of hard work bearing fruit so well in my constituency," Mr Dunne said.

The Hobsons Brewery was established in 1993.
