Harrogate brewery launches charity beer to support St Michael's

Wednesday, 30 July 2025 07:12

Rooster's Brewing Co has launched 'White Rose' for Yorkshire Day.

Rooster's Brewing Co. in Harrogate has launched a new charity beer in support of St Michael’s Hospice.

The beer, named White Rose, is launching in time for Yorkshire Day on Friday (1st August).

It will be available throughout August at a number of participating pubs and bars in the Harrogate area.

For each pint of White Rose sold, 10 pence will be donated to St Michael’s Hospice, which provides specialist end-of-life care to people across the Harrogate district.

Michael White, Partnerships Manager at Saint Michael’s Hospice, said:

“We are delighted to be chosen as the charity to benefit from sales of the White Rose charity beer, created by our neighbours, Rooster’s.

“As hospice care across the UK faces significant financial challenges, support like this has never been so important.

“At Saint Michael’s Hospice, we receive only 25% statutory funding.

“Therefore, we rely on the generosity of our community to help us make up the remaining 75% that is needed to provide our vital services, free at the point of need. Partnerships like this go such a long way towards helping to raise vital funds, as well as important awareness about our cause.”

The fundraising effort is a collaboration between the brewery and its neighbouring community to raise awareness and financial support for the hospice’s ongoing work.

More information about the beer can be found here.
