The Premier League (PL) club, Aston Villa FC (AVFC) have announced a strategic partnership with Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company (CMBC), a brewing powerhouse in the UK.

As per the pact, CMBC has been named the club’s official lager and cider partner, offering its extensive beverage portfolio throughout Villa Park starting from the 2024/25 season. Spectators can expect to enjoy a wide selection of drinks, including Carlsberg Pilsner, Birrificio Angelo Poretti, Somersby Cider, 1664 and Brooklyn Pilsner.

In addition, CMBC will play a crucial role in the ongoing refurbishment of Villa Park’s kiosks and hospitality facilities. This collaborative effort aims to elevate the matchday experience for the Villa supporters by offering not only a wider beverage selection but also an enhanced stadium environment.

Chris Heck, President of Business Operations, expressed his delight about the partnership and said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with a truly iconic brewer that is not only aligned with our vision but will also give supporters more choice than ever before from their first-class, globally recognisable line of products. They will be invaluable in the revamp of our kiosk and hospitality provisions as we look to take our fan experience to new heights.”
