To showcase the 230 United States destinations that it offers, Virgin Atlantic is launching the 'Joint Venture' pub in collaboration with Delta Air Lines. At the pub, each US destination will be represented by one of 230 craft beers, such as the Siren Blonde Ale from Memphis and the Boston's Spencer Brewing Trappist Ale.
The Joint Venture pub is set to offer a variety of destination-inspired special events, such as opening and closing parties, Pub Quiz Nights and themed evenings like Seattle Night and New York Night, which offer a taste of each location with food, music and more.
The Joint Venture pub in London is set to pop up at The Old Crown Public House from August 10th to 19th, giving visitors the chance to snag a select number of free flights.
