It’s is always great news to see inclusiveness in beer. And the news from Scotland about the Glasgow Brewery Collective is a plan that I hope can spread far and wide.
This plan is to create “a Scottish first, a taproom and event space that is 100% accessible for people with disabilities.”
Dave Lannigan, Head Brewer and founder of Ride Brew Co. is the force behind this project. He is also “officially disabled through loss of hearing and suffers from ADHD and dyslexia.”
Through the use of large print menus, access for wheelchair user at the bar and lighting are some of the improvements being looked at.
For the project to really get off the ground they will be starting a crowdfunding campaign in the near future.
