Crafty Brewing launches official English Heritage drinks range supporting England's historic sites

Three premium drinks inspired by England's most iconic landmarks will help support the conservation of the nation's heritage.


Crafty Brewing is proud to announce the launch of its officially licensed English Heritage drinks range, featuring Castle Stone Session IPA, Solstice Sunset Craft Lager, and Abbey Orchard Craft Cider.


Created under licence from charity English Heritage, each product celebrates one of England's most treasured historic sites while helping to support the charity's vital conservation work. For every purchase made, a proportion of the proceeds will go to English Heritage and help to preserve more than 400 of the charity’s historic sites across the country.


The range combines premium brewing with distinctive designs featuring official English Heritage branding and imagery inspired by some of England's best-known landmarks, including Stonehenge and Dover Castle.


The collection includes:


Castle Stone IPA 4.2% – Inspired by the fresh sea air and bright white cliffs beneath Dover Castle, Castle Stone is a pale, easy-drinking IPA with upfront citrus and a hint of tropical fruit balanced by a brisk, refreshing bitterness.


Solstice Sunset Lager 4.4% – Inspired by the long evenings and big skies of Stonehenge at midsummer, this is a crisp golden pilsner with a smooth malt backbone, light floral hops and a clean, dry finish.


Abbey Orchard Cider 4.6% – Inspired by the stones of Rievaulx Abbey and its orchard-dotted valley, this is a crisp, fruit-forward cider that marries fresh-pressed apple aroma with gentle sweetness and a smooth, balanced finish.


Luke Herman, Founder of Crafty Brewing, said:


"We're incredibly proud to partner with English Heritage on this range. England's historic sites tell the story of our nation, and we wanted to create drinks that people can enjoy while also knowing they're helping to protect these special places for future generations. The partnership brings together two things people love—great British brewing and great British heritage."


The range has been developed for a wide variety of retail and hospitality channels, including heritage attractions, gift shops, garden centres, farm shops, independent retailers, pubs and export markets, offering consumers an authentic taste of England with a meaningful connection to its history.


Crafty Brewing has built a reputation for creating high-quality drinks with compelling stories behind them. The English Heritage range reflects the brewery's commitment to craftsmanship, provenance and supporting organisations that celebrate Britain's rich cultural heritage.


You can find these drinks stocked in English Heritage cafes and tea rooms, and on Crafty Brewing’s website at: https://www.craftybrewing.co.uk/brewery/english-heritage/
