Small Beer Brew Co is working with In The Drink to clean up the River Thames and reduce plastic pollution from the food and drink industry.
London’s first B Corp certified brewery is launching a new Stout, a velvety dark beer. It is donating 5% of all sales to In The Drink, an organisation dedicated to reducing plastic pollution caused by riverside bars and events.
Small Beer will also lead a public clean-up of the River Thames on 21st October, taking place at Bermondsey Beach.
“With every can of Stout, our big-thinking Small Beer drinkers are contributing to a cleaner and healthier Thames,” said brewery co-founder, James Grundy, “supporting In the Drink with their mission to reduce the amount of single-use plastic that finds its way into this great river at the heart of our city.”
Paul Hyman, founder of In The Drink, added: “Around 65% of the rubbish cleaned up from the Thames is food and drink packaging. It’s a fantastic natural partnership to have with Small Beer, as we’re both so heavily focused around improving sustainability measures in the drinks industry.”
Small Beer Stout delivers a smooth drinking experience that retains the essence of a traditional stout, with a lighter touch. Crafted at 2.5% ABV, the beer showcases subtle roasted barley notes and a hint of chocolate.
It is the third edition in Small Beer’s Small Batch series, which champions new, innovative, and explorative brews.
Small Beer will launch Stout exclusively through its website on 2nd October. Visitors to the Small Beer taproom can enjoy Stout on draught, and a limited number of 30-litre kegs will be available for trade customers.
