Vocation Brewery collaborates with Hebden Bridge Film Festival

Vocation Brewery has partnered with Hebden Bridge Film Festival to launch ‘Hope & Resistance’ pale ale, the official beer of Hebden Bridge Film Festival 2023.

This special edition beer will be available to purchase at all of the festival screenings taking place at Hebden Bridge Picture House and Hebden Bridge Town Hall from 24th to 26th March. The beer will also be available in can and on keg at Vocation & Co and other pubs in Hebden Bridge throughout the festival, including Coin, Old Gate and The Robin Hood Inn (Pecket Well), as well as via Vocation’s online shop.

Hope & Resistance is a Hazy Pale Ale with juicy nectarine and apricot hop aromas and a mildly bitter finish.

Vocation Brewery say: “Hope & Resistance, the official beer of Hebden Bridge Film Festival 2023 is inspired by the festival’s theme and catalogue of non-conformist film, it’s a Pale Ale with distinctive full-flavour and hazy appearance which proudly occupies the margins outside of the mainstream.

“We’re particularly proud to support Hebden Bridge Film Festival, a festival held in our hometown which helps to foster local and independent talent and support film makers in finding their Vocation.”

Vocation Brewery is also a sponsor of the festival’s annual Short Film Competition.

Hebden Bridge Film Festival returns for 2023 with a diverse selection of documentaries, dramas, comedies, shorts and feature films by filmmakers from all over the world, many of which have already seen success at some of the world’s leading festivals, such as Sundance, Toronto and Cannes.

Alongside the screenings, festival goers will have the opportunity to attend Q&A sessions and panel discussions with special guests, including film directors, actors, writers and producers.

Highlights include screenings of British action comedy Polite Society, the multi-award winning documentary Lyra and A Good Person, written and directed by Zach Braff, and starring Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman.
