Wigan Warriors are pleased to launch our new ‘Ancient & Loyale’ American Pale Ale ahead of our return to the DW Stadium this evening, brewed locally by Wily Fox Brewery.

Earlier in the year we asked players and staff to come up with suggestions for a name of a new pale ale. Voting took place and the winning suggestion came from Oliver Partington who came up with the name ‘Ancient & Loyale’.

With a name in place, the American Pale Ale was then brewed locally by Wily Fox Brewery. The 4% Pale Ale is bursting with a grapefruit zing from American cascade and chinook hops. The finest English malts balance this ale to give a winning experience on the test buds.

Speaking on the launch, Sales Director Geoff Warburton said: “We have had previous experience working with Wily Fox who have supported the cub at several fan days with bars. Andrea and her team, being locally based only up the road at Martland Park, were only to pleased to turn this round quickly and are proud to be a Wigan brewery associated with Wigan Warriors.”

The ale will be available to purchase in-store from the Robin Park Store today or pre-match in our pop-up store in the fan village which is open from 5:45pm this evening. The ale costs £3.50 per can, or a case of 6 for £20.

Wigan Warriors fans are encouraged to drink responsibly.
