It’s just a month to go before Nicholson’s pubs will be serving Three Mills pale ale.

It is the first in a series brewed in honour of William Nicholson who founded the pubs in 1873.

This was a year after he had purchased Three Mills, near the end of the Lea Valley Walk, for his J&W Nicholson & Co gin company. Distilling continued until 1941.

Three Mills Pale Ale, brewed by Nethergate in Essex, is available from Saturday 3 March.
