Fuller’s and Brentford have a history that goes back more than a century, to when Fuller’s donated a nearby apple orchard to the club, which became their Griffin Park home in 1904 – the name being a nod to Fuller’s Griffin Brewery.
Simon Dodd, managing director of The Fuller’s Beer Company, said: “With the historic link between Brentford and Fuller’s, it’s great to see our flagship beer on sale at Griffin Park. We have a lot of Brentford supporters working at the Brewery, it is a club that is geographically very close and we know that London Pride will be a popular choice on The Bees’ bars.”
James Parkinson, Brentford FC commercial director, added: “The relationship between Fuller’s and Brentford goes back a long way and we are delighted to have now reached an official partnership agreement with Fuller’s.
“The club prides itself in delivering engaging partnerships that reach beyond just branding and marketing, but which can deliver a true partnership, working together to add value to both our supporters and Fuller’s staff. We look forward to working with the Fuller’s team in the years to come. “
