This is definitely scrum-thing to talk about… Introducing our brand-new beer for the Six Nations: Tackle This! Brewed in collaboration with The Oddballs Foundation.
It’s once again time for the Six Nations, and to celebrate the competition this year we have brewed a brand-new beer! The annual rugby union competition between England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales is one of Europe’s biggest rugby tournaments, running this year from Friday 31st January to Saturday 15th March.
This year’s beer is a collaboration with the amazing OddBalls Foundation. Founded in December 2015, the OddBalls Foundation raises awareness about testicular cancer. Each year in the UK, around 2,400 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer. The foundation provides support to those affected and educates men on how to check themselves for signs. Early diagnosis can result in a much better prognosis, so it’s important to ‘CHECK YOURSELF’ regularly and understand how to do it properly, and what you are looking out for.
(That’s where their OddPod comes in: the perfect place to get some practical advice. Scroll to information on the launch for more info!)

Now for the tasty bit, the beer!
Tackle This! is a 4.0% ABV classic and super-suppable classic golden ale, brewed with British malt and all UK ingredients. With aromas of subtle citrus and tropical fruits, it delivers a delicate malty sweetness followed by a balanced hop bitterness.
Tackle This! will be available in our pubs and beyond for the duration of the Six Nations. Find it in a pub near you on #untappd.
Get stuck into the Six Nations with our Tackle This! ‘one-over-the-eight’ stamp card. Earn a stamp for every pint of Tackle This! you purchase, and get your ninth beer on the house. (8 Tackle This! pints = 1 Pint of any Castle Rock beer.)
18+ only.
We are launching the beer at the Embankment on Wednesday 29th January. Join us and the OddBalls foundation from 5pm to be one of the first to try the beer!
To celebrate the launch of Tackle This! the OddPod will be rolling into the Embankment car park, providing a designated area to learn how to correctly ‘CHECK YOURSELF’ for signs of testicular cancer. The OddPod is the Foundation’s mobile and spiritual home, and will be manned on the evening by the OddBalls Foundation who are on hand to provide potentially life saving information. Plus, everyone that visits the Oddpod will have the opportunity to donate a fiver and receive some legendary OddBalls underwear!
The OddPod will be open from 5-7pm on Wednesday 29th. Find it in the Embankment car park.
