Mr Trotter is the brainchild and collective alter ego of food writers Matthew Fort and Tom Parker-Bowles with beer marketing man Rupert Ponsonby. As the name suggests this English ale is brewed with sweet chestnuts by Lancaster Brewery Ltd and is claimed to be the only chestnut beer brewed in the UK

Mr Trotter’s Great British Chestnut Ale uses malted Maris Otter barley and Rupert Ponsonby says, “The chestnuts give a nutty creaminess to the brew and a honeyed note, which balances the spiciness of the English-grown Cascade and Bramling Cross hops.”

Launched late in August 2013, this Chestnut Ale extends the range of Mr Trotter’s branded products, originally established by Matthew Fort, Tom Parker-Bowles, Rupert Ponsonby and crackling specialist Graham Jebb for their Great British Pork Crackling in November 2011.
