The Chichester MP encouraged people to keep an eye out around town as the new Ale will be available in and around the City.
Matt Gover-Wren, who started ‘Save Tangmere Tower’, said: “We are over the moon to be releasing this novel product with Riverside Brewery. It’s fantastic to be working with them - they share our passion for saving history”.
