New beer from Bushy's Brewery

The 59 Ton Up Traditional Ale will launch at MGP

Bushy's Brewery is launching a new beer with a biking theme in time for this year's Manx Grand Prix.

It's in collaboration with the 59 Motorcycle Club - a London based organisation, established in 1962, with a long-standing tradition of welcoming all riders on all types and styles of bikes and visiting the Island for the TT and MGP.

The new beer, called 'The 59 Ton Traditional Ale', will be available in all establishments that stock Bushy's ales.

It’s hoped that in time the beer will be available internationally in cans and bottles to the 59 Club’s 32,000 members as well as other bikers around the world. 

Bushy’s founder Martin Brunnschweiler says he first became aware of the 59 Club (being born in 1959) when as a 17-year-old in London he worked with a couple of friendly members who had admired his 250 BSA Starfire. 

He says he’s always had a fascination with the club and was delighted when they agreed to collaborate with Bushy’s Brewery on making this traditional style ruby ale.

Dick Bennett from the 59 Club says club members have been drinking Bushy’s beers since they started brewing in the 1980s and it’s gone down well at 59 Club barbecues and other gatherings on the Island adding they are honoured to be associated with this traditional beer.

Both parties are hopeful that this joint venture will raise the profiles of each party and raise funds for the club’s charitable aims.
