A brewery in North Yorkshire has teamed up with a rugby league icon to launch a new beer with aims to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease.
Black Sheep Brewery is launching a brand new beer in support of rugby legend Rob Burrow MBE, in collaboration with Rob Burrow Racing Club.
Rugby and beer fans can now help raise money to support Rob with Burrow’s Blonde. A total of 10p from every pint and bottle sold is donated to the Rob Burrow 7 Discretionary Trust and the Rob Burrow Racing Club.
Dan Scott Paul, head brewer at Black Sheep Brewery, said Burrow's Blonde is a "cracking pint" - but the story behind it is "so much more than that".
He said: "Many of us are Rugby League fans and are familiar with Rob’s story, our aim is to use our brewing credentials to raise as much money as possible for Rob and to raise awareness for MND".
