To celebrate the two York gigs, the brewery has created a limited edition beer, Homecoming. The brew captures the spirit and energy of Shed Seven’s iconic music and their deep connection to the city of York.
Brew York are also working with the band to release another beer to launch in conjunction with their nationwide 30th anniversary tour, in November and December. Details of that beer will be announced soon.
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Shed Seven for this special occasion,” said Wayne Smith, co-founder and managing director of Brew York.
“As long-time fans of the band, we wanted to create something that not only celebrates their incredible 30-year journey, but also pays homage to their roots in York. Homecoming is a beer that embodies the essence of their music and the vibrant community that has supported them over the years.”
Shed Seven, known for their hit songs Chasing Rainbows and Going for Gold, have been a staple of the Britpop scene since the 1990s. The band’s bass player, Tom Gladwin, said: “I’m a big fan of Brew York’s beers and their beer hall on Walmgate, so we’re thrilled to be working with them on this special beer.
“It’s a perfect way to celebrate our 30th anniversary and create something fun and collectable for our fans in our hometown. We can’t wait for everyone to taste Homecoming and join us for the shows at York Museum Gardens.”
The homecoming shows at York Museum Gardens take place this Friday and Saturday, 19th and 20th July. Tickets are avialable here.
Homecoming beer will be available for purchase in limited quantities at Brew York’s taprooms and selected retailers from Friday.
