As we all know, the past 12 months have been terrible for venues. Some have closed, others like London’s Black Heart have had to raise eye-watering amounts of cash through crowdfunding just to be able to… stay shut for a bit longer.
Now, music-loving London brewery Signature Brew have put together a Beer Grants scheme, in which they’re giving away £250,000 of beer to help support struggling venues. With grants from £500 to £5,000 worth of their Studio Lager available, independent venues across the UK will be able to apply directly for the package. Touring bands can also apply to get beer to help cover some of their overheads.
