Ludlow Brewery & Live at Ludlow Castle Team Up to Brew the Perfect Summer Soundtrack

Posted: 18th July 2025

Summer in Ludlow is set to be louder, livelier, and a whole lot tastier thanks to a hometown collaboration that hits all the right notes. Ludlow Brewery has once again joined forces with the Live at Ludlow Castle concert series to bring back the hugely popular Ludlow Rocks IPA — a vibrant session IPA brewed specially for the castle’s summer line-up of music and comedy.

After its successful debut in 2024, Ludlow Rocks IPA is back for 2025 with a bolder recipe and a wider reach. Brewed in celebration of the energy and atmosphere of live performance, this limited-edition beer is packed with flavour and perfect for sunny concert evenings. Expect a smooth, refreshing pint loaded with citrus and tropical notes, thanks to a trio of powerhouse hops — Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe — creating a beer that’s as easy-drinking as it is flavourful.

This year, the beer will be pouring not only at Ludlow Castle during the live events, but also at selected pubs across town, including The Church Inn and Old Street Tavern. Whether you’re front row for your favourite act or soaking up the vibe from a local pub, Ludlow Rocks IPA brings a taste of the summer concerts wherever you are.

“We’re excited to be part of the amazing buzz Live at Ludlow Castle brings to the town,” says Gary Walters, managing director at Ludlow Brewery. “Ludlow Rocks IPA has been brewed for good times and great music – and this year, we’ve made more of it so even more people can enjoy it across Ludlow.”

With big names set to perform against the breathtaking backdrop of Ludlow Castle, this summer promises unforgettable moments — and now, the perfect pint to go with them.

Ludlow Rocks IPA is available now at Ludlow Brewery and on taps across Ludlow during the summer concert season.

Raise a glass. Rock out. This is what Ludlow tastes like in summer.
