“All we can hope is that by releasing this beer, we can raise some funds in support of the enormous humanitarian relief effort that is, and will continue for a long time to be, required in Ukraine.”

Freedom India Pale Ale (5 per cent) by Bedlam Brewery is available to order in 500ml bottles at www.bedlambrewery.co.uk.

The brewery describes it as ‘a robust, piney citrus hop India Pale Ale with hints of tangerine skin bitterness accompanied by a deliciously smooth biscuit malt body’.
