Co-op Listing For Little Valley Beers
01 Sep 2015 --- Little Valley Brewery has announced that two of its beers have entered Co-op stores this month. Tod’s Blonde and Withens Pale Ale will be available in stores across Yorkshire as part of The Co-operative Food’s Local Supplier initiative, which will see the retailer stock 130 new products from suppliers across the county.
Little Valley’s Withen’s Pale Ale (ABV 3.9%) – which mixes hints of spice, orange and citrus, giving a delicious dry bitter finish – will sit alongside the Tod’s Blonde (ABV 5.0%), a bright yellow blonde ale with a pleasant malty taste and a smooth bitter finish.
Both bottle conditioned beers will be available in 500ml bottles, with both beers available for £2.19.
Based in Hebden Bridge, all of Little Valley’s beers are brewed with 100% organic agricultural ingredients and the brewery is approved by both the Soil Association and the Vegan Society.
The move onto Co-op’s shelves comes as part of the retailer’s local sourcing initiative, which is being piloted in Yorkshire with plans to be rolled out across the country within the next 12 months.
The Co-op has signed up more than 50 local manufacturers and micro producers to provide its stores across Yorkshire with a wide range of locally produced items including eggs, sweets, sausages and of course, beer.
Sue Cooper, co-owner of Little Valley Brewery, commented: “We’re so pleased to be introducing our products to local Co-op stores and being able to share our products with even more beer fans. The Co-op’s new initiative is a fantastic way of introducing local products to local customers, and we hope this will allow even more customers to discover our delicious beers.”
Kate Jones, head of local sourcing at The Co-op, said: “Our customers have told us they want to buy local products at their Co-op store and so we have responded by teaming up with more than 50 new Yorkshire suppliers. Our vision is to champion a better way of doing business for local communities and what better way for us to do this than to sell as many locally produced goods as possible.”
