Unicorn Rodeo, from Hackney Brewery, is back for a fourth year, raising funds for Switchboard.
This is an LGBT+ helpline that has been giving advice and lending an ear to those who need it for more than 45 years.
The beer is an easy drinking 4% ABV double-dry hopped extra pale ale, with Simcoe, Mosaic, and Citra hops, for a light and refreshing combination of citrus, mango, and grapefruit.
Along with raising funds for Switchboard, the annual release helps raise awareness of the vital support that it provides, 365 days a year. This year, the Switchboard helpline number will feature on can labels.
The beer will be available exclusively at Hackney’s High Hill Tap from Friday, 6th May, with the general release on Monday, 8th May. Cans will be available to purchase online from the Hackney Brewery webshop.
Stephanie Fuller, general manager of Switchboard, said: “Through our listening service, we’ve been supporting LGBTQIA+ communities right across the UK since 1974, with calm words when they are needed most.
“Our trained listening volunteers create a safe space for people that need to have sensitive and non-judgemental conversations on matters relating to sexuality and gender identity. The support of Hackney Brewery will make a real difference to the help we’re able to provide.”
