UK entrepreneur and Hexham native Rob Earnshaw has officially launched Spritz 21, a new drinks brand designed to celebrate and support the country’s vibrant creative industries. The brand made its debut at a blue-carpet pre-launch event on July 24 at the Tannery Bar in Hexham, where guests gathered to experience the product and learn more about its mission.

Spritz 21 offers a fresh take on the classic Italian spritz, crafted from 100% Glera grapes and served on tap for maximum versatility and mixability. This sparkling wine-based beverage is designed as a modern, social drink that pairs well with a variety of settings, from bars and restaurants to creative events and festivals. Currently exclusive to the Tannery Bar, Spritz 21 is expected to expand into new markets following initial customer feedback.

As part of its broader initiative, the company has plans to award up to £15,000 in grants to support projects across film, music, and the arts with a goal to uplift creative voices and provide tangible support to artists and creators.
