Carlisle United and Fell Brewery are delighted to announce the launch of a new 'Farm To Glass' beer this weekend.
Fell Brewery is a small independent brewery and bars business from South Cumbria. From their home on the Cartmel peninsula, they champion the rich traditions of Northern brewing.
Together with the club, they are delighted to launch a new beer called 'Farm to Glass.' The beer will be launched at the Northampton Town game on Saturday 15 April 2023.
'Farm to Glass' is a limited edition beer brewed especially for the occasion using all British ingredients including some from Cumbrian farms. The beer is a refreshing, light pale bitter.
Commenting on the collaboration, Tim Bloomer, founder and director at Fell Brewery said: "We are thrilled to be working with Carlisle United to create a beer that celebrates the very best of Cumbria.
"Our home county is at the heart of everything we do as a brewery and it’s just brilliant to be able to brew a local beer for local people at this amazing club. We really hope the fans enjoy it."
Mastermind of the recipe, Brewer John Bernard Major commented: “Farm to Glass is a modern take on what has become a classic British beer style: keg bitter.
"The beer is designed with the number one target of drinkability in mind - a lovely pale colour, a dry finish and some interesting character from all British hops. t's also got a little bit of a lower carbonation to make sure you are able to have a couple without feeling too full!"
Fran Collison, Fell Penrith manager and lifelong club fan, said: “As a fan of both United since I was a l'aal lad, and beer since ... not long after, having the opportunity to combine the two under the guise of 'work' is just fantastic.
"Farm to Glass is as easy on the palate as our league position is to the eye, and I can't wait to see it being enjoyed around the ground.”
The beer will be available at all stadium bars with the exception of Murphy’s Bar for the Northampton Town game on Saturday, and the Tuesday game with Stockport, whilst stocks last.
Peter Johnston, who heads up Carlisle United’s catering , said: "We're excited to be partnering with Fell Brewery to launch this special beer.
"As a community-focused football club, we are always looking for ways to support local businesses and celebrate the best of Cumbria. We look forward to sharing 'Farm to Glass' with our fans and visitors to the area."
