Birmingham’s Dig Brew Co is remaining faithful to its ethos and as it announces its plans for the Platinum Jubilee weekend (1st-4th June).
New in can: Mexican-style lager Cancun is a sign of summer
The brewery, on River Street in Digbeth, will offer beers from its taproom and pizzas from its Dough kitchen throughout extended opening hours.
But it will also be raising money for RSVP, a charity that supports people in Birmingham and Solihull who have been subjected to sexual violence and abuse.
The new Big Kid ice cream van, offering delicious experimental flavours, will return by popular demand. There will also be a live appearance on the Wednesday evening by accomplished young Birmingham soprano Rose Johnson. There will be recorded music on other evenings.
Oliver Webb, owner of Dig Brew Co, which is known for its quirky cartoon horror and sci-fi branding, said: “We are looking to welcome as many people as possible to the brewery and taproom over the Jubilee weekend, but we are also
conscious of a social responsibility to support deserving causes that need help.
“That is why we will donate to RSVP a percentage of the proceeds from the weekend on a product-by-product basis — maximising donations in areas we can best afford to — to support the charity in their important work.
“We constantly strive to ensure that Dig Brew Co remains a safe venue in which to work and visit, which is why our team decided that the Jubilee celebrations would provide the perfect opportunity to approach RSVP as a new
partner — and we hope the relationship will grow in time.”
Bold support
Sophie Fletcher, community fundraiser for RSVP, added: “We are delighted that Dig Brew have decided to fundraise for RSVP. It is vital that children and adults subjected to sexual violence and abuse are heard, believed, and supported.
“We applaud the actions taken by Dig Brew to ensure that they boldly and big-heartedly support survivors throughout this time.”
Summer has come early for Dig Brew Co with the launch of its previously bottled Mexican lager, Cancun, in cans, using its new in-house canning and labelling equipment. Made with maize and hopped solely with Motueka, the core beer is designed to be drunk ice-cold as a refreshing summer drink.
• Jubilee opening times are as follows: Wednesday, 1st June, 5pm-11pm; Thursday, 2nd June to Saturday, 4th June, noon-11pm.
