There's no better way to understand the impact of BREWED TO GIVE than to hear it from Bristol...

🏈“BBF’s support is making a huge difference... providing that safe space for people who might not feel they have a community to fit into. Brewed to Give is stand-out and nothing else like it exists; it’s unique, inventive and iconic. It’s a truly amazing set-up. You’ve been so supportive beyond what we could have even imagined, from kit to beer, to letting us host meetings and our AGM.” Club Chair

🫶 "I just wanted to say a huge thank you for sponsoring our 2026 The Gloves Are Off Quiz welcome drinks once again. Thanks to your incredible support, the event was a huge success and together we raised an amazing £18,215... equipping young people to cope with the difficulties they face to give them a fighting chance of realising their full potential. We really appreciate your continued support". Kassia and the team

🍽"“We raised a total of £23,135... to support 60 young people through our accredited cooking course, with many going on to secure jobs or take their first steps onto the independent housing ladder.

🍺EVERY BEER YOU BUY GIVES BACK🍺

Team BBF are on a mission to unite people over world-class beer - creating connections, building community and celebrating the city we call home. Bristol made us who we are, so giving back isn't an add-on; it's in our DNA.

✊That's why we donate 2% of every brewery sale to local charities that tackle food inequality, widen access to sport and bring communities together.

Because while charities are doing some of the city's most important work, they're facing rising demand and shrinking resources. We believe businesses should step up where they can.

🙌So we do.

We are Bristol Beer Factory. This is DRINK WITH PURPOSE.

PEOPLE LIKE THIS MAKE BRISTOL AMAZING 👊

COMMUNITY IS EVERYTHING. And right now, our community needs us more than ever. That’s why we donate 2% of every beer we brew to charities holding it all together.

We call it BREWED TO GIVE. 

Each month, we donate beer to charities and good causes across our city, like Empire Fighting Chance, who are able to convert our donation (along with our advice and guidance) to 3-5 times the original value - and 100% of this is kept by the community, for the community.

Empire use boxing as an engagement tool for young people facing mental health challenges and battling inequality. And BBF are proud to be in their corner.
