Win: 12 bottles of Empress Pale Ale

Described as “light and well-balanced, with a floral and malty aroma, gentle carbonation to cleanse the palate and a smooth citrus and hoppy finish”, London-brewed Empress Pale Ale is incredibly refreshing and easy-drinking. In short: it’s the perfect summer beer.

To celebrate the start of barbecue season, we’ve teamed up with Empress to give away 12 bottles of Pale Ale and four glasses - a prize bundle worth more than £40.

For your chance to win, simply email your name, address and daytime number to alice.ryan@velvetmag.co.uk, titling your message ‘Empress Ale Competition’. Entries should arrive no later than June 19 and the usual Ts and Cs apply; if you’re happy to be contacted by Iliffe Media and its partners, add ‘Please Contact’.
