Buckingham Palace has confirmed to PEOPLE that the 95-year-old monarch has approved the sale of a range of beer brewed from plants grown on her Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
Sold at the Sandringham gift shop at $5.50 for a 500ml bottle, the beers come in two varieties: a cold-filtered, traditional English “bitter” and a stronger Golden IPA described by the gift shop as “uniquely natural.”
Produced locally by Barsham Brewery in Norfolk using organic Laureate Spring barley grown on Sandringham’s rolling farmland, the bottles bear the Sandringham name alongside pictures of a hare and a pheasant.
“Made in the UK for the Sandringham Estate,” according to the label. “The Sandringham Estate is a wildlife haven for Pheasants, Hares, Owls and many other species thrive in the wood and farmland habitats.”
This isn’t the first time that the Queen has turned her hand to producing alcohol. Sandringham’s gift shop already sells its own Celebration Gin, which is made in a distillery on the estate.
