James Percival and Mark Redknap, Manager of The Old Crown pub, launch the Harlequins Supporter Pub Network in Weybridge.

James Percival was greeted by excited fans on Tuesday evening at the Old Crown in Weybridge where he launched the Greene King IPA Harlequins Supporter Pub Network, with Mark Redknap, manager of the Old Crown.

The Supporter Pub Network has been brought to Harlequins fans by the club’s Official Beer, Greene King IPA with pubs designed to be a ‘home from home’ for supporters to socialise in over a pint of great tasting Greene King IPA. To celebrate the launch of the Supporter Pub Network, Greene King IPA has given 500 lucky fans a free pint of Greene King IPA in their local Harlequins Supporters Pub on every home game.

Speaking at the launch, James said; “It’s really exciting that Greene King IPA have created places for our supporters to use as a base before and after games. These pubs are great places to meet with friends, celebrate after the match and enjoy the camaraderie of other Harlequins fans and of course a pint of Greene King IPA.”

The Harlequins Supporter Pub Network consists of 48 pubs throughout the Twickenham and South London area, many of which serve Greene King IPA cask ale to the regions rugby fans each week.

Greene King IPA Marketing Manager, Keith Ironside said, “Our support of Harlequins has continued to grow over the past five seasons and the Harlequins Supporters’ Pubs demonstrate our ongoing commitment to both the club and fans. There’s a great affinity between rugby and cask ale, with many fans enjoying the game together with a quality pint of Greene King IPA. We hope the Harlequins Supporter Pub Network will become the fans new home from home and help to make every game a sociable experience.”
