Real ale fans are being offered the chance to name a new beer from Salford’s Strange Times Brewing.

As well as naming the beer, people can vote on other suggestions up to the 21 October deadline. After that, Strange Times will produce a shortlist of the five most popular names and let the people have the final say.

The author of the winning entry will receive a case of 24 Strange Times canned beers, with all five shortlist entrants getting a special invite for two, to the brewery’s exclusive tasting on Sunday 6 November.

Strange Times head brewer Lauren Guy said: “We are delighted to run this competition, have a bit of fun with our customers and welcome new followers to our brand. It is a small but sincere way to say thank you for supporting us through Covid and inviting them to be part of our creative journey and celebrate with us as we begin a new phase of canning and national distribution.”

The brewery will soon launch a Crowdfunder campaign to help it invest in a canning machine.

The brand design and artwork has been designed by artist Mina Mond and is inspired by tarot cards with their meanings tying into the stories of each of the brewery’s five core beers, using mystically inspired creativity in both its imagery and recipes. There will be new speciality recipes launched throughout the year.
