This in from Henrietta on behalf of Goddards Brewery. Ed
Goddards Brewery have presented their first cheque to John Cattle of Wight Trash! Funds are continuing to be raised for other skate parks around the Island through sales of Wight Trash Pale Ale – this first cheque will be going towards the renovations at Ventnor Skatepark.
Helping the Ventnor Skatepark project
Wight Trash Pale Ale is a 4.5% alc. vol. beer, available in bottles only, across the Island. It’s a thirst quenching ale brewed using Isle of Wight barley to give a smooth malty taste, sliding into a mellow hoppiness. The hoppy aromas come from the Cascade and Isle of Wight Boadicea hops, grown at Ventnor Botanic Garden.
10p from every bottle goes towards raising funds for skate parks on the Island which provide opportunities for kids (and big kids) to get outside, exercise, expand their boundaries and just have fun.
23 years young
The first drop of Goddards beer was brewed 23 years ago – the brewery was started by Anthony and Alix Goddard and is run by the family to this day.
Goddards have been keen to get involved with local businesses resulting in such tasty delights as Wight Squirrel sausages, Fuggle-Dee-Dum burgers, Quarr Abbey ale chutney, steak and Duck’s Folly ale pies. The team are continually looking for ways to get involved with Island businesses so if you have an idea and think they can help do get in touch!
The World of Wight Trash
John Cattle and his friends (officially) started Wight Trash in 2004, selling T-shirts first, then hoodies, then skateboards. John and his team are continually coming up with ways to entertain us.
Ventnor Skate Park was created for the community after a campaign from local mums and skaters who wanted better facilities. John also runs John Cattle’s Skate Club teaching the next generation to skateboard.
