A GOVERNMENT minister is to be given a taste of one of the city's best real ales.
City councillors are to send communities minister Brandon Lewis MP a bottle of Castle Rock's Harvest Pale – with an invitation to the Robin Hood beer festival attached.
It comes after the city council passed a resolution to support the local brewing industry last year.
Mr Lewis – who has responsibility for local councils, as well as town centres and community pubs – will get to sample local beers and meet the people behind the products if he attends the event.
