Two Sheffield breweries, True North Brew Co. and Loxley Brewery, have teamed up to bring the Sheffield Half Pint Marathon back for its sixth year.
The month-long charity event will run throughout September and will include 13 of Sheffield’s favourite bars and pubs, with both breweries creating a brand-new beer especially. ‘One Fort’ Road’ from True North Brew Co. and ‘Get ‘em in’ from Loxley Brewery will be available in all participating venues and with each Half Pint Marathon beer purchased throughout September, a donation will be made to local charity Sheffield Mind.
Sheffield Mind is a charity which provides support to people with mental health issues, and every penny that is donated will be invested directly in local service delivery. Participants can complete the marathon at their own pace, in a day, week or even over the whole month.
The premise of the Sheffield Half Pint Marathon is simple: at the starting venue of your choice you will receive your Half Pint Marathon card, then for each venue you visit and purchase one of the speciality beers you will receive a sticker. When your card is filled simply register via www.truenorthbrewco.uk/halfpintmarathon by 30th September and you will receive an email to let you know when and where you can collect your limited-edition print, featuring hand drawn illustrations of the participating venues.
True North Brew Co.’s Marketing Manager Krissie Petfield said:
“We are happy to be bringing back the Sheffield Half Pint Marathon alongside Loxley Brewery to raise money for such a worthy cause. It’s a brilliant opportunity to get together with friends and family and raise a (half) pint to support one another”.
This month-long celebration of some of Sheffield’s best independent bars and pubs is aimed at giving people a chance to contribute to a great local charity whilst exploring Sheffield.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor, beer lover or beer novice, the Sheffield Half Pint Marathon is not to be missed!
