It will hopefully not have<br />
escaped your notice that at St<br />
Chad’s we are celebrating our<br />
centenary in 20<strong>12</strong>. We are planning<br />
many ways of celebrating this<br />
landmark and Impact will be carrying<br />
full details as they emerge.<br />
As part of our centenary<br />
celebrations we thought that it would<br />
fun to have our own special beer<br />
brewed. One or two have raised<br />
their eyebrows at this: “the Church,<br />
brewing a beer?!” In fact churches<br />
and beer have a closer connection<br />
than many people think. Before<br />
the Reformation it was common for<br />
churches to have regular ale festivals<br />
with the proceeds going to the poor of<br />
the parish or the maintenance of the<br />
church building. Monasteries were<br />
famous for their production of beer.<br />
I am therefore proud to introduce<br />
you to “Chad’s Ton Up”, brewed<br />
by the Two Roses micro-brewery<br />
in Darton. A small group of hardy<br />
volunteers from St Chad’s travelled to<br />
the brewery in September to sample<br />
the various beers on offer and we<br />
were unanimous in choosing the ale<br />
that we felt was right for us. Chad’s<br />
Ton Up is a light ale (3.8%) made with<br />
New Zealand Sauvignon hops. This<br />
gives it a citrus flavour of limes and<br />
lemons not dissimilar to the famous<br />
Sauvignon wines from New Zealand<br />
and is certainly a very distinctive beer.<br />
Chad’s Ton Up will be sold at £2.50<br />
a bottle or £25 for a case of <strong>12</strong>. In<br />
order to comply with licensing laws<br />
we will be selling it on set days each<br />
year. The first of these days will be<br />
Rev Toby<br />
Hole with<br />
bottles of<br />
Chad’s Ton<br />
Up<br />
December 10 (just in time for your<br />
Christmas orders) so if you would like<br />
to buy a bottle or a case then please<br />
complete the order form and send<br />
it in with payment before the 10th.<br />
Here’s to a happy 100th anniversary.<br />
Cheers!<br />

Calling all couples married at St Chad’s...<br />
Within the last 100 years many couples<br />
have wed at St Chad’s and still live within our<br />
city boundary. Others have moved away.<br />
As part of our centenary we plan to hold a<br />
service to celebrate the many long marriages<br />
which were blessed here as well as the<br />
recent marriages not yet celebrating their first<br />
anniversary.<br />
