St Austell Brewery’s Tribute Pale Ale is a golden, easy-drinking beer that pairs perfectly with this time of year. It’s brewed with Cornish Gold malt and hops from the US and UK, which give it a biscuity, malty base that’s balanced by zesty notes of orange and grapefruit. It’s a balanced, flavourful sip that goes hand in hand with hearty autumnal fare and classic dishes – which doesn’t sound like a bad night in at all
