West Somerset Railway will introduce limited edition Down the Line cans of Golden Ale to celebrate 150 years since it first opened.

The new drink, brewed by Quantock Brewery, will be available at the Minehead cafe and the on-train buffet car.

A week-long event takes place to celebrate the occasion between July 16 and July 21 with 2000 exclusive cans offering railway enthusiasts a distinct golden ale with a contemporary English hop blend.

Cheryl Ford, managing director of Quantock Brewery, expressed her pride in the ongoing relationship with the railway.

She said: "We’re very proud and honoured that we continue building this successful relationship with one of Somerset’s foremost tourist attractions by brewing yet another limited-edition beer to mark an important landmark in the history of The West Somerset Railway."

Ms Ford also highlighted the value that local craft beer had added to the customer's railway experience.

Kerry Noble, general manager of the West Somerset Railway, welcomed the continued liaison with Quantock Brewery to create a distinctive drink.

He said: "We are really pleased to have been able to collaborate with Quantock Brewery on another bespoke beverage, which has been specially created for our 150-year celebration."
