Shepherd Neame has been named as the official beer supplier of The Open golf tournament, in a new three-year partnership starting this summer.
The 151st Open will take place at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, from 16th to 23rd July, and will be attended by a record 290,000 fans.
Guests will be able to enjoy Singha, the Thai lager, which Shepherd Neame began brewing for the UK market in 2022, along with Whitstable Bay Pale Ale and Orchard View cider.
It is the third year that the Faversham-based brewer has been chosen as the official beer supplier for The Open, following the success of last year’s partnership when the Championship took place at St Andrews, in Scotland.
“The Open is a world-renowned event and offers a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of our award-winning brands with new audiences,” said Shepherd Neame chief executive Jonathan Neame.
“We are particularly excited to showcase Singha at the Championship, which has a long history of supporting flagship sporting events in the UK and globally.”
Neil Armit, chief commercial officer at the R&A, added: “Shepherd Neame has a long and cherished history as Britain’s oldest brewer and is renowned for producing award-winning beers from its home in Kent.
“We look forward to working with them during the next three years to offer our fans and guests a range of high-quality British-crafted products at the Championship.”
