Bostin’ Beer launched to support Mayor's charities

A Stourbridge brewery has teamed up with the Mayor of Dudley to create a special charity ale celebrating the borough and raising funds for a range of good causes.

Green Duck Beer Co has brewed a bespoke Mayor’s Bostin’ Beer, a 4.6% ABV pale ale, with proceeds supporting the charities chosen by Councillor Pete Lowe during his mayoral year.

The beer, which proudly carries the Mayor’s #BOSTINDudley branding, has been created as part of the Mayor’s mission to celebrate everything that makes the borough unique – from its industrial heritage and culture to its strong sense of community.

The Mayor has selected seven charities and community organisations to benefit from fundraising during his year in office, including We Love Carers, Friends of Alfie Johnson, Stourbridge Town FC’s Floodlight Appeal, Gig Caritas/Busking for Charity, The What? Centre, Stourbridge Glass Museum and Brierley Hill Baby Bank.

Mayor of Dudley, Councillor Pete Lowe, said: "Black Country Day is the perfect opportunity to launch Mayor’s Bostin’ Beer. It celebrates our local pride, our independent businesses and, most importantly, helps raise money for charities and community groups making a real difference across the borough.

"I would like to thank Green Duck Beer Co. for getting behind this initiative and helping us create something truly Bostin’. I hope residents will support the campaign, enjoy the beer responsibly and help us raise as much money as possible for these fantastic causes."

The beer has been brewed and canned at Green Duck’s Stourbridge base and features artwork inspired by Dudley’s skyline and civic heritage. According to the brewery, the beer offers a balanced, refreshing character with hoppy and malty notes. Proceeds from sales will be donated to the Mayor’s charities.

Alex Hill, Director, Green Duck Beer Co., said: "As a proudly independent Black Country brewery, we are delighted to work with the Mayor on this special release.

"Mayor’s Bostin’ Beer celebrates our local identity while helping raise funds for a range of worthwhile charities and community organisations across the borough."

The beer is available to purchase from Green Duck Beer Co, supporting the Mayor’s charitable fundraising efforts.
