Thornbridge Brewery beer key to marriage proposal

And the answer was yes!

Ian Batterbee used the 4.5% beer, launched last summer, to pop the question to his fiancé Sinead O’Connor on Christmas Day.

The couple, which met in a pub in Didsbury, are now planning their wedding for next year, which will no doubt feature some quality beers.

“It wasn’t a surprise to walk there on the morning “but opening my final present and reading the label was a fantastic surprise,” says O’Connor.

Thornbridge brewed ‘I Love You Will U Marry Me’ to support S1 Artspace’s ambitions to create a major new cultural venue at Park Hill for Sheffield, with funds raised from the sale of the beer will go towards this development.

The beer’s name originates from a marriage proposal when the words ‘I Love You Will U Marry Me’ were painted onto a Street Bridge at Park Hill, an urban romantic gesture that has since become famous throughout the city.
