A Leamington beer brand has hit the right note with a prestigious music school after being added to the drinks list in its restaurant and bar used by future stars.
Empress’ full range of Pale Ale, IPA and Pilsner-style lager is included in the choices at the world-famous Royal Academy of Music in London, whose alumni include Sir Simon Rattle, Sir Elton John and Annie Lennox.

They include the Jason Atherton group of restaurants, the Goodman Group, Birmingham Michelin-starred restaurants Adam’s and Opheem, as well as top London hotels The Langham and The Goring Hotel.
The range is also stocked in Waitrose and online.
Surj said: “To be listed in such a famous venue - the place that has links to some of the best musical talent in the world - is really mind-blowing.”
“The last few years have seen some amazing establishments across hospitality add our beers to their menus, and to add the Royal Academy of Music to the list of places where people can try Empress beers, either with food or on its own, is a really proud moment.
“We’re delighted with this partnership and look forward to seeing our beers served up at the RAM.”
