BrewDog is encouraging people to talk about mental health by inviting fans to join them for a free pint of alcohol free beer and a chat with mates. To coincide with the clocks going back and daylight disappearing faster, BrewDog, along with its partner #IAMWHOLE has launched ‘In The Round’.
At a selection of BrewDog bars, guest speakers including #IAMWHOLE founder Matt Campion, will be sharing their experiences to encourage positive conversation around mental health. Q&A sessions will also be taking place with BrewDog’s trained Mental Health First Aiders.
Free pints of AF will be served between 1-2pm on Friday, November 4. In January 2022, the beer brand launched SAD AF, an alcohol-free beer which donated 100% of the profits to #IAMWHOLE’s vital mental health research fund which also supports other good causes and charities.
Kat Winstanley, Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead at BrewDog, said: “With winter fast approaching, we’re really keen to get people chatting about their mental health. Following the successful launch of SAD AF with the brilliant team at #IAMWHOLE, we’re proud to continue to support the movement with In The Round and enable them to continue their vital work. We all struggle from time to time, so what a great way to get the conversation started over a chilled pint of AF, on us.”
