Sale Sharks player Mark Cueto and Rob Calderbank, Manager of the Kings Ransom, launch the Sale Sharks Supporter Pub Network.

Mark Cueto was greeted by excited fans today at the Kings Ransom in Sale where he launched the Greene King IPA Sale Sharks Supporter Pub Network, with Rob Calderbank, Manager of the Kings Ransom.

The Supporter Pub Network has been brought to Sale Sharks 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 Sale Sharks Supporters Pub over the second half of the season.

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

The Sale Sharks Supporter Pub Network consists of 13 pubs throughout the North West, 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 Sale Sharks has continued to grow over the past two seasons and the Sale Sharks 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 Sale Sharks Supporter Pub Network will become the fans new home from home and help to make every game a sociable experience.”
