Tapestry Brewery, a local micro-brewer, has teamed up with Greene King to brew a new collaboration beer, Encounter Pale Ale, which will be available until the end of April.
5p from every pint sold will be donated to Bath-based Send a Cow, Tapestry Brewery’s charity partner.
Send a Cow works in six countries across rural Africa to provide training in farming, gender equality and enterprise skills so that families can grow their own futures, free from hunger and poverty.
Calum Doutch, Co-Founder, Tapestry Brewery, said: “We’re so excited about this collaboration as it really brings two worlds together which are very much at different ends of the brewing scale!
“Encounter is about us coming together and brewing a cask beer which has a big focus on the hop Galaxy as well as doing our bit to help with the work Send a Cow do in rural Africa.
“This type of exposure for our brand and partnership with Send a Cow will help us reach and tell our story to corners of the UK we ordinarily wouldn’t be able to reach.”
Catherine Harris, Corporate Partnerships Executive at Send a Cow, added: “We’re delighted to join this partnership between Greene King and Tapestry.
“Corporate partnerships like these enable us to help even more families across sub-Saharan Africa to lift themselves out of poverty.”
Speaking about the collaboration, Ross O’Hara, Greene King Head Brewer said: “It has been a pleasure to work with Dan, Calum and the team at Tapestry to create this brew.
“Our collaboration brewing programme is a fantastic way to work with different brewers, bounce off ideas, create something new and exciting and give our partner breweries a profile too through our sales network.
“We are thrilled with the resulting beer; Encounter Pale Ale is a super tasty, easy drinking pale ale.”
