A Call-out for Brewdog

Amongst traditional ale drinkers Brewdog can be a bit of a 'marmite' company. There is no doubt it has had a strong influence in the growth of craft beers and the introduction of a range of exciting taste innovations but it can also be controversial.

However it is good to report a very local and positive move by the company.

Raising Funds for a local school
A recent fund raising Spring Auction by the Friends of Whitchurch Primary School (FOWPS) saw Brewdog offer two Lots - each of value £40 to be used "on anything you please - Beer, Food, Merch & Beer Schools Galore in a Brewdog Bar".

One Voucher was paired with an Overton Rugby Season Membership for one child (aged Year 6 or below) and raised £50, while the other was stand-alone and raised £33 for the Primary School.

Over £1500
In all, the Spring Auction raised over £1500 for the School. All the money raised goes directly to enriching the lives of our local school children.

So a well-done to Brewdog for helping a local worthy cause.
