Wolfpack Brewing, the UK’s innovative brewery co-founded by international rugby players, is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Stonegate Group in honour of the spirit of rugby and to support an important cause.

Wolfpack Brewing Co, founded by rugby legends Alistair, Chris, and Jim, was built upon the principles of community and camaraderie. Now serving in 400 pubs across the UK, Wolfpack is set to extend its reach in a collaboration with Stonegate designed to champion a cause close to their hearts – the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MND Association).

Launching in September, the collaborative effort will introduce a new brew exclusive to Stonegate pubs; the ‘Second Row IPA.’ The name pays tribute to the pivotal role the second row plays in a rugby team, a position familiar to founders Jim and Alistair during their international stints with South Africa and Scotland, respectively. The initiative further honours their friend and fellow international second row player, Ed Slater, recently diagnosed with MND.

With the support of colleagues, customers, and partner operators, Stonegate has raised an impressive £400,000 for MND charities, as well as raising awareness of MND.

In a show of solidarity, 20p from every pint of Second Row IPA sold will be donated directly to the Motor Neurone Disease Association. The fundraising campaign, which runs throughout September to November, stands as a testament to Wolfpack’s commitment to their founding ethos: in the Second Row, we stand tall, and we stand together.

“We are incredibly proud to be launching Second Row IPA in partnership with Stonegate Pub Group,” said the Wolfpack founders. “We invite everyone to join us and enjoy a pint of Second Row, stand tall, and help us raise money and awareness for this important cause.”

Melissa Wisdom, Chief Commercial Officer at Stonegate Group said: “We are proud to partner with Wolfpack and stand with the rugby and MND community to launch Second Row IPA to raise both awareness and important funds in the fight against MND. We hope our guests really enjoy this beer join us in supporting such an important cause.”
