A STORM is brewing over Europe, thanks to the exporting efforts of two East Lancashire companies.
Brewers Thwaites have joined forces with drinks distribution firm Storm International of Blackburn to take their products into new markets.
And the first of several brews to come under the agreement between the firms is heading for Italy.
Other enquires for Thwaites beers have been received from as far afield as the USA, Canada, Japan and New Zealand.
Storm Super is a nine per cent proof super lager aimed at European markets.
"The response to date has been truly phenomenal," said Michael Davies, chairman of Storm International, which is co-owned by Chester International and Michael Davies & Associates.
"We look forward to a great future in Italy and hope to emulate that success in other countries and the UK."
