🏃‍♂️🍺 Firebrand Brewing Co partners with Arc of Attrition by UTMB 2026!

Everyone who conquers the Arc 100, 50 or 25 this January will be rewarded with something truly special at the finish line — a limited-edition Firebrand pale ale or an alcohol-free lager.

Co-owner and Head Brewer Joe Thomson knows the Arc challenge first-hand, having taken on the Arc 100 himself — and he’ll be back on the start line again in 2026. Two bespoke beers, one iconic ultra, and a huge celebration of endurance, grit and community on Cornwall’s wild coast.
