Bluestone Brewing Company launch new beer in fundraising mission for The Big Orange Campaign.
20p from each pint sold of Bluestone’s latest beer, The Big Orange, will go straight to the Big Orange campaign which is fundraising for a new lifeboat at New Quay.
Pembrokeshire Microbrewery, Bluestone Brewing Company, launched their fundraising beer on Saturday 24th June with 20 pence from each pint sold being donated to the Big Orange Campaign. The donation is made up of a £7 donation per cask from the pub stocking the beer and a £7 donation from Bluestone Brewing Company for each cask sold.
‘The Big Orange’ is the umbrella brand for a joint funding initiative that aims to contribute to the cost of deploying a new Shannon Class All-weather Lifeboat to New Quay at the centre of Cardigan Bay. The joint initiative includes the New Quay life boat crew, New Quay, Aberaeron and more distant RNLI fund-raising groups, local fishing and trip boat operators, and the New Quay and Aberaeron yacht clubs amongst other stakeholders.
The Big Orange is a well-balanced golden ale with a little bit of sweetness, light maltiness and a hint of familiar citrus flavours from British hop, opus. The beer is being sold locally and further across Wales and will be available throughout the summer months.
Emily Hutchinson, director at Bluestone Brewing Company, said,
“We were honoured to be asked to brew a beer especially for the campaign. We love brewing new beers anyway, but it’s extra special that we can brew something to help to fundraise for a local and very worthy cause. The beer has already been selling well and we hope that people will really get behind the project and have a pint when they see it on in their local pub!”
