BREWERS T and R Theakston Ltd have announced plans to brew a special beer to help raise funds to aid the thousands of people affected by the recent winter storms.
For every pint of Noah’s Ark Ale sold, the brewery will donate 10p to be distributed by a network of community foundations in Cumbria, Yorkshire, as well as Cumbria, Lancashire and Scotland.
The 4.3 per cent beer will be brewed in the family-owned firm’s Masham brewery, close to River Ure in the Yorkshire Dales, and will be available for sale in targeted pubs and clubs in the north of the country from January 20.
Executive director Simon Theakston said: “We have all been horrified by the extent of the recent flooding and the severe impact on the lives of individuals and households all over the north of the country.
“We wanted to do something directly to help, and so decided to do what we do best and to create a new brew to help raise funds to directly aid the affected regions.”
