Shepherd Neame advertising campaign for Spitfire beer.

Описание: This is an advertising campaign from the brewer Shepherd Neame in Kent.

You can still see the adverts in some of the Shepherd Neame pubs in and around Kent.

Shepherd Neame launched Spitfire ale and enjoyed a good marketing run from 1997-2005 with these themed adverts.

Shepherd Neame is an English independent brewery founded in 1698 in Faversham, Kent, and family-owned since 1864. The brewery produces a range of cask ales and filtered beers. Production is around 210,000 brewers' barrels a year. It owns 328 pubs and hotels, predominantly in Kent, London and South East England. The company exports to more than 35 countries including India, Sweden, Italy, Brazil and Canada.

Spitfire Premium Kentish Ale (cask: 4.2% abv, bottle: 4.5% abv) is Shepherd Neame's biggest-selling cask-conditioned ale. An infusion of three aromatic Kentish hops adorns this blood-orange tinted bitter, first brewed in 1990 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain in 1940. The beer is named after the Supermarine Spitfire aircraft designed by R. J. Mitchell.

Winner of a Gold Medal and Best Strong Cask-Conditioned Beer of the World at the Brewing Industry International Awards, Spitfire has Protected Geographical Indication, the same regional produce protection afforded to Champagne and Parma Ham.
