It’s the perfect tribute to Dave, who founded the Big Hand Brewing Co in 2013. The company will be supporting Pip on the huge challenge of the upcoming Vendée Globe.
Having been a keen yachtsman himself, he followed this gruelling race with a passion. It seems fitting that, in spirit, he will be there providing a guiding hand through all the challenges ahead.
Dave lost his battle with bowel cancer a year ago. Pip said: “I’m really honoured to have the Big Hand Brewing logo on board, and to celebrate Dave’s memory in this way.”
“Pip may not be drinking beer on the way but there will certainly be a few pints downed in her support and some waiting to welcome her home for sure!” said the brewery.
