Brew York have teamed up with the legendary Shed Seven to create two brand new beers – as they gear up for their homecoming shows in York.
The first celebrates their two shows at Museum Gardens this weekend. Fittingly titled ‘Homecoming’, the limited-edition beer aims to capture the band’s deep connection to the city.
It’s described as a ‘refreshing hazy pale ale’ and is a ‘fruity citrus hit with floral notes of stone fruit and mango.’
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Shed Seven for this special occasion,” said Wayne Smith, co-founder and managing director at Brew York.
“As long-time fans of the band, we wanted to create something that not only celebrates their incredible 30-year journey but also pays homage to their roots in York.
“‘Homecoming’ is a beer that embodies the essence of their music and the vibrant community that has supported them over the years.”
One of the great bands of the Nineties Britpop scene, with bangers including ‘Chasing Rainbows’ and ‘Going For Gold’, Shed Seven are enjoying a second golden era, scoring their first number one album with latest release ‘A Matter Of Time’ in January.
The band’s bass player Tom Gladwin said: : “I’m a big fan of Brew York’s beers and their beer hall on Walmgate so we’re thrilled to be working with them on this special beer.
“It’s a perfect way to celebrate our 30th anniversary and create something fun and collectable for our fans in our hometown. We can’t wait for everyone to taste ‘Homecoming’ and join us for the shows at York Museum Gardens.”
Brew York are also working with the band to release another beer to launch in conjunction with the band’s nationwide 30th anniversary tour running from November to December. More details will be announced soon.
‘Homecoming’ will be available for purchase in limited quantities at Brew York’s taprooms and selected retailers starting Friday 19 July.
