Funds from the sale of a new Bluestone Brewing Co golden ale will go towards The Big Orange campaign, raising funds for a new New Quay lifeboat.
The donation is made up of a £7 donation per cask from the pub stocking the beer and a £7 donation from Bluestone Brewing Co for each cask sold.
The Big Orange is the umbrella brand for a joint funding initiative that aims to contribute to the cost of deploying a new Shannon Class All-weather Lifeboat to New Quay at the centre of Cardigan Bay.
The initiative includes the New Quay lifeboat crew, New Quay, Aberaeron, and more distant RNLI fundraising groups, local fishing and trip boat operators, and the New Quay and Aberaeron yacht clubs, among other stakeholder groups.
The beer is a well-balanced golden ale with a little bit of sweetness, light maltiness, and a hint of familiar citrus flavours from British hop Opus. The beer is being sold locally and further across Wales, and will be available throughout the summer months.
“We were honoured to be asked to brew a beer especially for the campaign,” said Bluestone spokesperson. “We love brewing new beers anyway, but it’s extra special that we can brew something to help to fundraise for a local and very worthy cause.
“The beer has already been selling well and we hope that you will all get behind the project and have a pint if you spot it on in your local pub!”
