FOOTBALL: Gareth Bale’s beer brand is now available in supermarkets To celebrate Wales’ first World Cup appearance in 64 years

Welsh super­mar­kets, which par­tic­i­pat­ed in the World Cup for the first time in 64 years, will sell GARETH BALE brand beer.

The 33-year-old for­mer Tot­ten­ham and Real Madrid star helped Rob Page’s side reach Qatar ear­li­er this year.

In the World Cup, which will be their first appear­ance since the 1958 tour­na­ment, they will face Eng­land, Iran and the Unit­ed States in the group stage.

As a token of this his­toric achieve­ment, Welsh fans will be able to cel­e­brate the match with a glass of Veil Ale or Veil Lager.

Both prod­ucts will be avail­able at Tesco shops in Wales from 3rd Octo­ber for £1.70.

The nation­al team cap­tain, Bale, plans to donate a por­tion of the beer’s pro­ceeds to the devel­op­ment of grass­roots foot­ball in his country.

Launch­ing Bale Ale and Bale Lager in Tesco shops in Wales is some­thing we start­ed a few years ago and it’s real­ly excit­ing to see the brand grow,” he told PA.

“Part­ner­ing with and work­ing with Glam­or­gan Brew­ing Co, which is just 10 min­utes from my home, is even more spe­cial and I am extreme­ly proud of what we have cre­at­ed together.

Through this part­ner­ship, we aim to give back to grass­roots foot­ball in Wales, and in par­tic­u­lar to help devel­op foot­ball facil­i­ties across Wales at the region­al level.”

“We hope fans across Wales will enjoy our veil ales and lagers head­ing into this year’s World Cup.”

The avail­abil­i­ty of veal beer in oth­er parts of the UK out­side of Wales has yet to be determined.

How­ev­er, in 2023, there are plans to export to Cal­i­for­nia, where the play­er cur­rent­ly belongs to Los Ange­les FC.

Veil Ale is described as a “bright and refresh­ing gold­en ale” brewed using Gold­ings, Colum­bus and Cit­ra hops.

Veil Lager, on the oth­er hand, is described as hav­ing a “fresh, clean taste” brewed with Saaz hops.
