The Coalition finished off on a high as David Cameron handed out a bottle of beer to all 33 of his top ministers at the last Cabinet meeting of their five-year term.

And to avoid questions over what he ever brought to the Cabinet table Nick Clegg dished out crisps to his Coalition colleagues.

There was a real end-of-term atmosphere as the Tories and Lib Dem ministers celebrated their “achievements” in office with a specially crafted “Co-ale-ition” branded beer, which combines “hints of oak and zesty lemon” flavours to cater for both parties.

The beer was made by Wychwood Brewery – the producers of Hobgoblin – based in the Prime Minister’s Witney constituency.

Eric Pickles, the Communities and Local Government Secretary, broke the news of Mr Cameron's generosity just after 9am this morning:

On the back of the bottle it celebrated the Coalition’s “refreshing”, “creative” and “truly distinctive” approach from an “unconventional pairing”.

But ministers would have been wise not to have drunk too many of the 4.5 per cent volume beers so early in the morning.

As well as the Autumn Statement, when Nick Clegg was in the Lib Dem heartland of Cornwall, he has missed the last three Prime Minister’s Questions. Mr Clegg started strengthening his attacks at the Lib Dem conference in October, when he said Mr Cameron could “copy our ideas” but could not “imitate our values” and criticised the “dated snobbery” of Tory right-wingers AFP/Getty Political spats Cable vs Osborne George Osborne’s cordial relationship with the Lib Dem actually in the Treasury, Danny Alexander, has been a coalition success. But the Chancellor has not clicked with a Business Secretary who was once a member of the Labour Party. As well as the attacks on Mr Osborne’s ambitions to clear the deficit within five years, last year Mr Cable warned of the dangers of “complacency” shortly after the Chancellor claimed the economy was “turning the corner”. Mr Cable argued there was a risk of the housing market “getting out of control” Getty Political spats Hughes vs Grayling The civil liberties minister, who was Lib Dem deputy leader until last year, was considered loyal to Justice Secretary Chris Grayling until November, when he told The Independent that the Tories had “failing, knee-jerk” policies on crime. Disputing Mr Grayling’s claim that there was “no crisis” in Britain’s overcrowded prisons, Simon Hughes argued that the Tories had introduced “sticking plaster solutions” that had seen a “revolving door” of criminals soon returning to jails. “This way lies madness,” he argued. “It is a complete dead end.” AFP/Getty/Charlie Forgham-Bailey

Mr Clegg’s crisps were branded “Crunchy Coalition” and were Spicy Yorkshire sauce crisps made by Henderson’s in his Sheffield constituency.

Anyone suggesting the Coalition was just looking out for those at the top were wrong – the leaders’ gifts were also handed out to aides, advisers, officials and spin doctors.

The label on the front of the bottle described the Co-ale-ition as “indispensable political ale” along with a picture of Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg waving the Union flag outside Number 10 Downing Street.

Describing the taste of the specially-made beer, the label on the back says: “An unconventional pairing; this experimental beer has astonished doubters & exceeded expectations.

“Time for some creative thinking with this carefully crafted beer, hints of oak and zesty lemon deliver a truly distinctive, refreshing flavour that lasts the distance.”

Grant Shapps, the Tory party chairman, revealed the tasty flavours on Twitter:

Mr Clegg said his gift from the Yorkshire Crisp company was "a nice reminder of what the Coalition government has delivered for the North generally and Sheffield specifically".

“I’m tremendously proud to represent a city that has given the world so many fantastic things over the years. Henderson’s Relish is just one of the world famous products to have come out of Sheffield," he added.

It was the last Cabinet meeting before the election campaign kicks off on Monday, the day Parliament dissolves.

The formal end of the parliamentary session – known as the Prorogation of Parliament – takes place on Thursday.
