If Dan Pembroke isn't at the track, you will probably find him at his allotment.

It is where the first seed of an idea grew into something far greater; an initial enjoyment of growing hops and dabbling with home brew kits has bloomed into an actual beer with his name on the can.

In the lead-up to last year's Paralympics, Pembroke started brewing 'Paris Gold', as a physical representation of what he wanted and ultimately would go on to achieve in the French capital.

Now Pembroke - a two-time Paralympic and world champion in the F13 javelin, for athletes with a visual impairment - has a new brew in the works that he hopes can have the same effect for his compatriots heading to the colder climates of the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympics in Italy.

"Two months before going to Paris, my new coach, John Trower, was talking about visualisation and manifestation, these things that he deemed very powerful in sport," Pembroke told BBC Sport.

"I'd never really dabbled with visualisation, so I thought, what way could I make this unique to myself? How could I manifest what I want out in Paris?

"I want to get the gold medal, I want it to be in Paris, and I want to hold up a beer to celebrate what I've done."

After his success in Paris, Pembroke's home brewing caught the attention of a craft brewery, which has worked with the 34-year-old to produce it on a commercial scale.

His new Milan beer will be an Italian pilsner using West Coast hops, as a nod to the next summer Games in Los Angeles.

With plans for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions, he hopes to send batches to Italy for British athletes to enjoy after the Winter Games.

"I'm getting it out there and putting the message across about manifestation for them," Pembroke said.

"It's quite a wacky way to do it with beer and athletes, it's not something that normally goes together, but I think because of that it makes it stand out a little bit. And you've got to rock the boat a little bit sometimes to get eyes on you."
