Tiers are flooding, the tips have dried up… enter KING OF THE NORTH! Inspired by the Mayor of Greater Manchester and his fight for funding across the North, we’ve teamed up with Tip-Jar and our hospitality mates from across the City of Manchester to raise funds for hospitality workers in need during this difficult time. There are two ways you can help. You can visit the link in our bio and leave a tip at the Tip-Jar link for a struggling hospitality worker. At this not-for-profit venture, all your kind tips are supporting carefully selected individuals. You can also grab a can of our KING OF THE NORTH beer, a portion of all profits will also benefit this venture. This New England IPA is getting a North England twist and it really packs a punch. Head to the link in the bio to pre order or leave a donation! Orders will be dispatched from 18th November #savehospitality #kingofthenorth #tipjar #hospitality #hospitalityindustry

The beer, which a New England IPA, is made by Seven Brothers in Salford and is called ‘King of the North’, is designed to raise money for northern hospitality businesses that have faced unprecedented challenges due to the government’s new tiered lockdown restrictions.

The Manchester mayor has been nicknamed the ‘King of the North’ across social media for his efforts towards government support for a tier 3 lockdown in Greater Manchester.

King of the North is available for £4 through the brewery’s web shop, and will also be sold in local establishments such as Manchester’s BrewDog bar.

Seven Brothers collaborated with TipJar, a non-profit tech company that has helped breweries raise money for struggling hospitality businesses. The app adds a QR code to every can which will take you to a platform where consumers are able to leave a tip to be distributed to selected individuals.

The beers will be ready for shipping from 18 November.
