A Twickenham-based brewery has launched a new beer brewed in collaboration with England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio OBE.

Jawbone Brewery in Strawberry Hill has launched a pale ale called Bardot, named after Lawrence's houseboat Bardot which was moored at Newman Shipyards (the brewery site) for many years.

Jawbone is making a 30p donation to Dallaglio RugbyWorks for every can sold.

They said: "When we discovered Lawrence used to live on Swan Island, we invited him round for a chat and a brew."

Lawrence was involved with naming the beer, designing the label, and helping with brew day on July 8.

He said of his first taste of brewing: "I was very excited. Obviously, as an ex-professional rugby player, I'm no stranger to toasting the odd victory with a pint of beer.

"But to be able to make your own beer in the place you used to live, the place you grew up basically, well it was very special. It's bloody hard work as well – turns out it's still quite a manual process in the craft ale world!"

Check out the brewery's full interview with him here.

What Jawbone say about the beer: "This is a moreish pale ale featuring El Dorado, Columbus and Motueka hops."
