Former Arsenal and England footballer, now TV sports commentator and columnist, Lee Dixon, has teamed up with Brentwood Brewery to promote Dixons Gold, the beer with a heart of gold.   Donations from sales of this special beer will benefit the charity the Yorke Dance Project.

For every bottle sold a £1 donation will go to the Yorke Dance Project.  Lee supports the charity which supports and nurtures young artists and works with underprivileged children throughout the country.  The charity is run by Lee’s wife Yolande Yorke-Edgell.  See www.yorkedance.com.

Lee said:  “I’m really pleased to be working alongside the craft brewers at Brentwood Brewery to launch Dixons Gold.  I now understand what goes into making a delicious craft beer – love, care, great ingredients and a little bit of magic!

“I’m also really grateful for the support they are giving to a fantastic charity, The Yorke Dance Project which gives the chance to underprivileged kids to live their dreams whether that’s dancing at a professional level or taking part in workshops they otherwise might not get the chance to do.”

Roland Kannor, MD of Brentwood Brewing Company said:  “Please drink Dixons Gold generously.”

Orders are being taken now but please note despatch dates will be from mid November.
