Passengers on British Airways flights will start enjoying the best in Cornish premium beer on board its flights from March 1.

Family-owned St Austell Brewery has stepped up to the bar to work in partnership with the airline to offer its craft-brewed beers to millions of British Airways customers flying all over the world.

Specially commissioned 330ml cans of St Austell Brewery’s top tipple, the Cornish pale ale Tribute, will soon become a regular feature for travellers and be available for customers flying long-haul, in Club Europe short-haul flights, and in British Airways’ network of global lounges.

As well as being a favourite in its South West heartland, Tribute is also one of the fastest growing ale brands in the United Kingdom.
