Leamington FC are excited to release the news that we have teamed up with family run, Warwickshire based Church Farm Brewery in order to enhance the matchday experience in the Brakes clubhouse.

For the launch at the AFC Fylde game Saturday 22nd October we will see 4 extra products offered alongside our usual Harry’s Heifer and Session IPA (Pale Ale, Browns Porter, Pilsner and a medium Cider) The club and Church Farm have also created a loyalty card where once five Church Farm products have been purchased, the sixth one is free (these will be available from the bar).

Clubhouse Manager Dawn Johnston-Smith welcomed the news, saying “We look forward to the start of this improved partnership with Jo, Ren and the team at Church farm and welcome them officially on board. We have worked with Church Farm for a while now as they have already been providing us with two ales and occasional outside bar for a few seasons now so cementing this relationship further with them gives us an opportunity to give fans more choice, guests beers and the new loyalty cards. Jo will be around at the Fylde game to talk to fans about the beers so it would be great to get some feedback as to which ones they like and what they would like to see on the bar going forward.”

Church Farm can also deliver beer to your door locally so if you can’t make the game but are listening on the radio, why not order in one of their gift packs through their website www.churchfarmbrewery.co.uk?
