# Charity beer – & beer festivals – supporting good causes this summer - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2023/07/21/charity-beer-beer-festivals-supporting-good-causes-this-summer/ - Published: 2023-07-21T09:35:00+01:00 - Author: Melanie May **The nights are still long, the weather warm – a good time for charity beers, and beer festivals. Here’s a selection of those on offer this summer, and the causes they’re supporting.** ![](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads.cloud/2023/07/Dawn-and-Rosa-Landscape-2.jpg) In partnership with the [Seeing Dogs Alliance](http://seeingdogs.org.uk/), The Brunswick Brewing Company is creating a bespoke beer which will raise funds for the charity to train more dogs and help reduce the waiting list. The _Double Vision_ recipe has been specially created and will launch at Brunswick’s 36^(th) Annual Beer Festival on 4-8 October. 10p from every pint will go to the charity, and the beer will then be available for pubs in the East Midlands region to stock from October this year. The Brunswick Brewing Company also uses the byproducts from the brewing process to make healthy dog treats. --- > 🍺 Our new charity beer is here!
