CORNISH beer Tribute is taking flight: the famous pale ale will now be available on board British Airways flights from March thanks to a deal between the airline and makers St Austell Brewery.

Tribute is St Austell’s flagship brand and the agreement with British Airways will open it up to millions of the airline’s customers every year, said the brewery.

> St Austell Brewery is producing a specially commissioned 330ml can of the 4.2% award-winning ale for the airline.

Managing director James Staughton said: ’This is a historic day for St Austell Brewery and we are thrilled that passengers will be able to enjoy a true taste of Cornwall while flying all around the world.’
