Last night Bowland Brewery’s Sawley Tempted was the guest ale in the Strangers’ Bar in the House of Commons.

Nigel Evans MP said,

“I was so pleased that we were able to get Sawley Tempted as a guest ale in the Strangers’ Bar. It is a fantastic example of real ale and a very enjoyable pint! It was even better that Richard was able to come and sample it here as well as bringing it to the attention of a wider audience!

“Bowland Brewery has done fantastically well since it began and I am proud that such a good beer, brewed in the Ribble Valley, has graced the House of Commons.”
