The agriculture student has been assisting the experts at Liberation Brewery to create a unique Battle of Flowers beer.
The 4.2 per cent ABV ale, called Floration, has been described as a ‘very light-coloured beer, with a hint of rose and accompanying fruit and floral notes’.
Liberation Group, which owns the brewery, will be donating ten pence from every pint sold to the Jersey Battle of Flowers Association.
Floration is the latest in a line of beers to be created by Liberation Brewery to mark special events and follows Jubilation, which was launched for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Farmer’s daughter Beckysaid that she had really enjoyed being involved in its creation.
‘It’s been such an exciting year since I was crowned Miss Battle and to be able to combine my interests in agriculture and horticulture with my role as the figurehead of the parade has been just perfect,’ she said. ‘I have really enjoyed working with the team at Liberation Brewery and am looking forward to sharing a pint of Floration with my Mr Battle, Matthew Wolfenden. As he’s in Emmerdale I’m sure he must like really good ale!’
Liberation Group’s chief executive, Mark Crowther, said: ‘Liberation Group is proud of its Channel Island heritage and there is no greater event in Jersey than the Battle of Flowers, so we are delighted to support the 2012 event with their own beer, and a donation which we hope will help towards future events.
‘All credit to the team at the brewery and to Becky for coming up with such a light summer ale – perfect for celebrating the big day’.
Floration will be available in the Battle of Flowers VIP corporate hospitality area throughout the day of the parade, though not in the parade arena itself which is an alcohol-free zone. It will also be available at selected Liberation Group venues, including The Halkett, Post Horn and St Mary’s Country Inn.
