You'll soon be able to drink a pint and support Mountain Rescue at
the same time thanks to the Abbeydale Brewery, which is going
to be producing a special beer in aid of the Edale Mountain Rescue
Team.
The
new brew will be called Salvation - geddit - and will help
raise funds for the team as well as raising its profile. The beer
will go on sale at pubs affiliated to the Sheffield-based brewers
throughout the Peak and Sheffield.
Unfortunately you'll have to wait a month or two. Salvation is due
to be launched at a Beer Festival held at the Rising Sun pub
in Nether Green on Wednesday 11 July and, given the nature of
the brew, climbing writer and epic survivor Joe Simpson has agreed to
open the festival.
We'll almost certainly remind you nearer the date, but if you
needed an excuse to grab a summertime beer after a day on the hill in
the Peak, here it it :-)
