Bays Brewery are releasing Claw, a new charity beer, next week, a collaboration with Paignton Zoo to mark plans to restore a pond system for their Sumatran tigers.
Coming in at 4.3% ABV, Claw is a copper-coloured pale ale, says the brewer, “fierce in flavour with purr-fectly balanced citrus tones and refreshing fruity notes”.
Bays are pledging 5% from every pint and bottle sold to support wildlife conservation, adding to the impressive £28,500 they have raised to date.
In February, the Bays team joined zoo staff to help dig years of debris out of an old pool in the enclosure housing the Sumatran tigers.
“Our partnership with Paignton Zoo began way back in 2013, and it has always been about more than just brewing great beer together — it’s about helping protect some of the world’s most incredible wildlife,” said Bays Brewery director Peter Salmon.

“We are delighted to be teaming up again in 2025 with Claw, a beer that packs a real punch — bold, refreshing, and brewed for a brilliant cause.
“We can’t wait for people to get their paws on it via our online shop, with Claw also available in the zoo’s café and shop, and pubs and bars across Devon.”
Steph Dawson, business development manager for Paignton Zoo, added: “We’ve been creating charity brews with Bays since 2013, and our partnership continues to evolve in wonderful ways. This year’s collaboration goes beyond fundraising to include hands-on support for our tiger habitat.”
Claw is one of four charity brews being served up by the family-run brewery throughout 2025.
