Can for a can

Donate cans of food to Drumchapel Food Bank, and we’ll give you cans of beer in exchange.

Across our team, we’re aware of how fortunate our positions are. Not everyone is able to support themselves or their families, and we feel it’s the responsibility of those who can, to aid those who can’t. Beer is a luxury item - our industry is not essential, so it’s crucial that those of us in privileged positions do what we can to help those in need of the basics.

Drumchapel Food Bank do fantastic work in their community to help those who need it most. They receive no government funding and rely 100% on donations to support people hit the hardest by the ever-increasing cost of living. Just ask a member of staff for help, donate your cans, and we’ll exchange up to six cans of our beer. We will also accept toiletries. If you’d like to donate other items, please get in touch with Drumchapel Food Bank directly.

  • Tinned fruit

Terms & Conditions:

  • Over 18s only. We operate a Challenge 25 policy.
  • Beers received from the swap are not to be consumed on-site at Drygate.
  • Donations accepted Sunday to Thursday. Please be patient with our team, and don’t donate on Fridays or Saturdays, when we’re at our busiest. Lunch and dinner service can also be busy even on quieter days - we will prioritise food and drinks service over swapping donations, so please plan donations accordingly.
  • We will swap one beer for one can, up to a maximum of six cans of our beer in exchange for six or more cans of of food.
  • A set range of our beers will be available, and stored at ambient temperature. Please don’t take or request beers from our fridges as part of the swap.
