Hook Norton Brewery is proud to announce the brewing of a special beer, JB’s Journey, created to help raise awareness of the former Banbury Rugby Club captain and coach John Baker, who sustained a serious injury last November.
John’s wife Tina, daughter Georgina, and close family friend Paul Jackson joined brewer Robin Underwood at Hook Norton Brewery to take part in the full brewing process. Together, they spent the day crafting JB’s Journey, a beer dedicated to supporting John and his family during his ongoing recovery.
JB’s Journey will make its debut on the bar at Banbury Rugby Club’s next home game on December 6th and will also be available in selected local pubs. All proceeds from the beer will go to the JB Foundation.
Mark Graham, Marketing Manager at Hook Norton Brewery, said:“I played with John and worked with Tina, so this is very personal to me, and being able to help the family means a lot. Beer and rugby clearly go very well together, and as a brewery we are proud to support the club and all that they do.”
Hook Norton Brewery extends its thanks to everyone supporting JB’s Journey and invites everyone to raise a glass (or two) to John, his family, and the spirit of togetherness that defines the rugby family.
