They have agreed to donate 5p of Every Pint of The Chiltern Brewery’s New Charity Ale Donated To #SupportSophieEdes who lives with Rett Syndrome.

Sophie Edes is the 3 year-old grand-daughter of a retired member of The Chiltern Brewery team, Sue Edes.

Her daughter and son-in- law, Liz and Mark Edes, from Berryfields, were left devastated when Sophie was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome; an illness which means she will be unlikely to ever speak or walk.

Tom Jenkinson, Head Brewer at The Chiltern Brewery said: “Sue worked here for many years and she was a keen member of our team - we keep in regular contact with her.

"When we found out that her granddaughter Sophie has Rett Syndrome and needs some life-changing equipment, there was only once choice for our charity beer this year.”

Managing Direcor George Jenkinson added: “We know that people like to help a great cause when they buy a pint.

“We are delighted to be serving ‘Pride of Bucks & Berks’ here at The King’s Head in Market Square and you can look out for it in other pubs across the area too.”

Sales & Marketing Manager James Bradshaw said: “This equipment will make a huge difference to Sophie and her parents’ life – we are delighted to be able to help. This is a great pint and a great cause.”

Available now in the Brewery Shop, online and in pubs across the area - 5p from every pint sold of Pride of Bucks & Berks will be donated to the JustGiving campaign to help buy specialist eye-gaze equipment for Sophie Edes.
