In the run up to the next Goth festival in Whitby on 24- 27 April, Proper Yorkshire Beer have launched a special range to celebrate the event. Already selling their ranges across Yorkshire, this new limited-edition range is focused on the local coastline nearby and to support regional events.

Head of commercial Steve Atkinson added, “After the success of launching our ‘Yorkshire sayings’ range of beers and lager, we were looking for a new opportunity. The Goth festival is a brilliant weekend in Whitby in both April and then October, attracting thousands of people to Whitby each year and is estimated to bring in around £1m to the local economy so we decided to mark it with a vegan range and join in the fun. We have created a pale Ale (Goth Pale), a Ruby ale (Batz Blud) and a lager style ale called Fangs for the Memories which is also gluten free. Our target market is a mix of bars/bistro’s, restaurants, bottle shops & holiday parks. We have produced 250 limited edition beers of each label and expect to sell out very soon.”
