The Box Steam Brewery has announced its latest collaboration, a craft ale inspired by a Bournmouth-based prog rock band.

The Holt-based brewer has worked with Big Big Train produce the new beer, which shares their name.

The band won the Breakthrough Award in the 2013 Progressive Music Awards and their latest album, ‘English Electric: Full Power’ has just been released.

At 4.5 per cent Big Big Train is a dark brown porter and involves a contrast of the bitterness of roasted barley and malts with a subtle vanilla sweetness.

The beer is exclusively available at BBT live events, from the Box Steam brewery shop and website www.boxsteambrewery.com
