Celebrating 200th anniv of abolition of slavery tomorrow with Freedom Ale!


In my Sussex local at about £3 a pint - $5.50.


The beer commemorates the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. On 25th March 1807, the British Parliament voted in favour of the abolition of the slave trade. This act of legislation was one of the most humanitarian pieces of legislation ever enacted in parliament; slaves could no longer be traded in British ships.
