Cask Ale Week is 19th-29th September. If you want to try something a little different and raise money for a good cause in the process, have a look at the special limited edition Marmalade Best ale created by Timothy Taylor’s Brewery. We’ll be donating 20p for every pint you buy from us to our charity partner, Marmalade Trust. The 3.4% ABV ale is a golden smooth mild ale with citrus notes. Each firkin has a Marmalade Best pump clip featuring a QR code linking to Marmalade Trust’s website. Point-of-sale kits will also be distributed to participating pubs with conversation starter ideas. Order Marmalade Best via Eazle > https://lnkd.in/eUKPbJq6

One of the most cherished aspects of the great British pub is its inclusiveness – a place where everyone is welcome. The very essence of a ‘public house’ lies in its tradition of being a space that embraces all. However, with this openness comes the responsibility to ensure that everyone truly feels welcome. Some of our HEINEKEN colleagues who lead our Diversity Equity and Inclusion Networks, and Dom Hyams, who leads the world's only disability-focused marketing agency Purple Goat Agency, met in a pub to explore this further. They shared their experiences in pubs, both good and bad. Our Colleague Networks are crucial in fostering an inclusive culture within our business. They offer a platform for colleagues to connect, share experiences, and support each other, creating an environment where diversity is not only accepted but celebrated. Let’s continue to work together to make our pubs welcoming spaces for all.🍻
