Brewery to sell limited edition bottles in aid of National Air Ambulance week
11:44am Monday 17th September 2012 in News
Beer drinkers will get a chance to do their bit for Hertfordshire Air Ambulance appeal next week.
National Air Ambulance week begins on Monday, September 24, and a local independent brewery is making it easy for beer drinkers to make a donation, while enjoying a tipple at the same time.
This year’s fundraising theme is based around the colour red and for the duration of the week, Tring Brewery will be selling a limited run of bottled Ridgeway Red.
Each bottle comes with a unique batch number essentially making it a raffle ticket you can drink.
Early in October a draw will take place with the winner winning a meal for four at The Red Lion, Water End thanks to Oakman Inns.
Bottles cost £4 and are available from the Tring Brewery from Monday with all money going to the Herts Air Ambulance Charity.
The Herts Air Ambulance is solely funded by charitable contributions and requires £130,000 per month to operate it’s much valued and often life saving service.

But well done Tring Brewery anyway - glad to see a small/medium brewery in the positive public spotlight.

Hmmm... responsible drinking, Saturday night casualty and all that, I'm wondering if a promotion of alcohol is appropriate for health / emergency services fund raising. I'd be more cynical if it were Diageo or Pernod-Ricard.

If we are going to get all puritanical and PC about it, there is scarcely a charity or cause that would survive if we took a close look at all the backers!
