Racecourse Chosen For Brewery's 160th Anniversary Celebrations

Cornwall based St Austell Brewery will be celebrating their 160th anniversary with a reception at Newton Abbot Racecourse on 20th September.

To coincide with the afternoon racing fixture, St Austell Brewery have invited three hundred customers, suppliers and staff to share in the momentous occasion.

Marc Bishop, Trade Marketing Manager at St Austell Brewery said: "2011 marks our 160th anniversary and we're pleased to say that the Brewery is as vibrant and successful as it has always been".

"In the current economic climate, it's a tremendous achievement to reach such a significant milestone and it's something we are very proud of. We are looking forward to celebrating this occasion with our valued customers, suppliers and staff".

Patrick Masterson, Managing Director at Newton Abbot Racecourse added: "We're delighted that St Austell Brewery have chosen to host their anniversary celebrations at the course. In recent years the pub trade has been hit by the effects of the recession and so to reach such a milestone is a true testament to the company. The team at Newton Abbot wish St Austell Brewery the very best for the future".
