Over the four day Lancashire Day celebration at The Paramount beer lovers will be able to sample 10 local ales, including Thwaites’ own Lancaster Bomber – the beer that takes pride of place emblazoned on chest of the LCCC shirt.

Brands marketing manager for Daniel Thwaites, Lee Williams, said: “As one of Lancashire’s oldest and most well-known businesses we take an active role championing the county, and Lancashire Day provides the perfect opportunity to do so.
