The man who guided the destinies of the Morgan car for almost fifty years, H.F.S. Morgan, was born at Morton Jeffries Rectory, Herefordshire in 1881. His father was the Reverend Prebendary H G Morgan at Stoke Lacy. The first Morgan, built 100 years ago spent much of its time in Stoke Lacy, the home of Wye Valley Brewery.

Morgan Centenary Ale, 4.4% abv, is the second beer that Wye Valley Brewery has brewed in association with Morgan. Both companies have a link with Stoke Lacy, and they both use a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern production techniques to produce qualities that go beyond the ordinary.

Morgan Centenary Ale, is available in cask throughout August as a part of Wye Valley’s monthly beer offering. The beer is described by Head Brewer Jimmy Swan as ‘a chestnut coloured ale, with a distinctive nutty, biscuity flavour and crisp hop character’.

Said Matthew Parkin, from the Morgan Motor Co, “Morgan are delighted to be associated with Wye Valley Brewery and Centenary Ale.  Both of our roots lead to the small village of Stoke Lacy, and our dedication to quality and traditional practices with a thoroughly modern twist make our joint venture much more than just a brand name on a bottle.  We will be celebrating our Centenary in style at Cheltenham Racecourse on 1^st and 2^nd August with plenty of Centenary Ale on tap and a host of entertainments for the whole family.  We’ll be raising a glass to the next 100 years.”

Morgan Centenary Ale is also available in bottle.

Wye Valley Brewery has further strengthened their relationship with Morgan with the opening of their new pub in Malvern. Once called the Cavalry Arms, Wye Valley Brewery has reopened the pub and renamed it The Morgan.
