FORMER England rugby captain Phil Vickery visited a brewery in the Forest of Dean yesterday to brew his own beer.

Phil, who won Celebrity MasterChef in 2011, is developing a traditionally brewed beer called Raging Bull that will be distributed to pubs and supermarkets nationally.

He performed the first brew at the Bespoke Brewing Co, a traditional micro-brewery based in Mitcheldean.

Former Gloucester, Wasps and England rugby star Phil said: “It is a quality pint and it gives me the opportunity to champion an industry and an area of the country close to my heart.”

Over the last month, staff have been testing and sampling and have now settled upon the recipe for what will become Raging Bull ale.

The aim of the Bespoke Brewing Co. is to market and distribute the beer nationally, with Phil as the main figurehead.

Mike Bayliss, founder of the Bespoke Brewing Co. said: “It’s great to be working with Phil particularly as he has such an in-depth knowledge of the traditional brewing process.

“It’s a very exciting time for us to be taking his beer recipe to market and we’re confident beer and rugby fans nationwide will approve.”
