Wisbech Brewers, Elgood & Sons, were delighted to hand over cheques to two of their chosen charities.

The presentation took place on Friday 13th December at the North Brink Offices of Elgood & Sons where cheques for £620 each were  presented to the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity and East Anglian Air Ambulance.  The sum represented a year of fundraising, with money coming from the two Craft Fairs held in the Brewery Gardens and the September Beer Festival, as well as a raffle organised by Sheila and Dave Dyer at the Father’s Day Jazz Event, a donation from Skylark Studios and many more donations throughout the year.

Elgood’s Managing Director, Belinda Sutton, was very pleased to be handing over the cheques to two such deserving charities and congratulated everyone involved in the fund-raising on their hard work and generosity.

Elgood’s Beer Festival 2019

Elgood’s annual beer festival ended at 10.30 pm on Saturday 21st September.

Tired but happy staff and customers all agreed that this had been the best ever!  Visited by approximately 1000 people over the three days, the festival was blessed by sunny weather and the friendliest atmosphere.

Entertainment was from Toadfish Bone, The Cherry Reds, The Rusty Relics and Bewildered and helped the party go with a swing.  Caricaturist John Elson did a roaring trade in quick sketches of visitors and staff during Saturday afternoon and evening.  All proceeds from this not-for-profit event will be distributed to local charities.

Before the festival the SIBA Regional Independent Beer Awards took place at the brewery and Elgood’s were delighted to win several awards.

Wisbech Grammar School student, Amy Everall (daughter of Elgood’s Director, Jennifer), has made a unique bottle display cabinet as part of her D&T Product Design A Level.

Now in pride of place in our North Brink Shop, we think it’s brilliant!

Why not pop in and see Amy’s display for yourself and pick up some of our award winnings ales?
