Bristol international airport has announced that it is to begin serving local beers and ciders at its new bar.

As the result of a partnership between the airport, SSP UK and Butcombe Brewery, the recently rebranded Zero9 bar will serve drinks including Butcombe Bitter, Cold-Filtered Blond and Ashton Press Cider.

The provision is part of Bristol airport's 'sense of place' initiative, which encourages the use of services from local suppliers to showcase the best of south-west England to international visitors.

Nagesh Shikram, SSP UK bar manager at Bristol Airport, said: 'Being able to enjoy a pint of Butcombe while relaxing before a flight is another point of difference for Bristol International compared to larger airports outside the region.'

Guy Newell, managing director of Butcombe Brewery, added: 'Having our beer and cider stocked at the airport is a great opportunity to win new converts, as well as meaning loyal customers can enjoy their favourite pint every time they fly.'

The airport's new bar is located on the mezzanine level overlooking the departure lounge with views over the airfield.

Bristol airport works with major international carriers including Air France, Continental Airlines and SAS, which offer services to Paris, New York and Oslo, among other destinations.
