Uncle Jack’s Best Bitter, 150th Anniversary & MoU
June 9, 2024
This Newsletter is to tell you about a joint collaboration between We Are The Rovers and the Three B’s Brewery based in Tockholes, Darwen.
We are launching a beer to celebrate 30 years ago when Rovers won the Premier League in 1994/95. The beer is named ‘Uncle Jack’s Best Bitter’ and will launch at a ticketed event at the Three B’s Brewery, The Black Bull, on Brokenstone Road at 6pm on Tuesday 17th September.
Guests who have confirmed attendance include Kevin Gallagher and Mark Atkins, we are awaiting confirmation from Colin Hendry. A raffle will take place and we will have a Rovers themed pub quiz. 500 bottles of this special celebration beer will also be produced.
The beer will be available at The Black Bull along with a good number of free houses and clubs in Blackburn, Darwen and surrounding areas.
We Are The Rovers are giving members the first opportunity to book tickets (no cost). Please use the link below. Please note attendance is limited due to the capacity.
WATR are planning for the Rovers 150th Anniversary. The actual anniversary is the 5th November 2025. We are looking for ideas from members as to cost effective initiatives / meeting ideas / celebration souvenirs / sponsorships / events etc.
Please email your ideas to: heritage@roverstrust.co.uk
Our next Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Club will take place on Wednesday 25th September. Both the Club and we jointly agreed to have the meeting after the transfer window had closed. Our agenda items will include owner funding, Rovers 150th Anniversary, Club communications and safe standing.
