Billy Whitbread, a member of one of Great Britain's leading brewing families, and now a consultant to a new specialist fund, the Taverners Trust, dedicated to investing in public houses and Christopher Fishwick, a fund manager at Aberdeen Trust, which is arranging the new fund, participated in the journal "Euromoney" special beer challenge, launched to commemorate the first beer fund in Great Britain. The trust has already raised £15 million from those who love beer all over the City. Whitbread learnt how to brew from Peter Scully, the master brewer of Ipswich, England-based Tolly Cobbold. His father, Colonel Whitbread, ran one of Great Britain's top four brewers, Whitbread, until 1968. Billy Whitbread's financial expertise was gained running the Whitbread Investment Company, which obtained 16% annual net asset growth over 10 years. Whitebread explains the trust will also invest in regional brewers, of which there are around 60 in Great Britain. Only 25% of the portfolio will be in illiquid stocks.
