A new cask conditioned real ale, called Liberation Ale is being produced by Jersey Brewery in time for this year’s Liberation Day celebrations.

As part of the launch, money from sales of the beer will go towards the newly-formed local charity, Holidays for Heroes Jersey.

Ten pence from every pint served over the Liberation Weekend (May 8th-10th) will go to support the organisation, which provides free holidays in Jersey for injured servicemen and women.

Founder of Holiday for Heroes Jersey Dawn Woodhouse told channelonline.tv “We are incredibly grateful for the Liberation Group’s support which will help raise much needed funds and remind Islanders of the important work we do. The extra money will give us the confidence to plan for 2010, enabling us to offer more holidays to families who benefit enormously from this opportunity.”
