Ten per cent of all proceeds from Nirvana Brewery’s new Lemon Gose (0.05% ABV) is going to supporting humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
A refreshing and rejuvenating gose, the beer is steeped with toasted coriander seeds, dried lemon peel, and a handful of dried Persian limes for a subtle complexity. Maldon sea salt flakes have also been added to balance the tart lemon and lime flavours.
The beer bottle design bears the blue and yellow colours of the Ukrainian flag. Graphic lemons and salt flake drops give a nod to two of the beer’s distinctive ingredients.
A spokesperson for Nirvana Brewery said: “With the summer sun just around the corner, we thought a bright and sunny beer was in order for our latest seasonal brew. However, we know life has been far from sunny for those affected by the war in Ukraine.
“Like many others we want to do what we can to support those affected by the conflict, so 10% of all proceeds from our limited edition Lemon Gose 0.05% beer will go straight to supporting humanitarian aid.”
• Ilkley Brewery hosted a Ilkley and Ukraine Solidarity Festival at the weekend. “Lovely event by lovely people for such an important cause,” said Campaign for Pubs director, Greg Mulholland.
• Timothy Taylor’s is pushing on towards a £5,000 fundraising target for the Disaster Emergency Committee’s Ukraine appeal. The brewery is matching every penny donated up to that £5k.
