Wales football star Gareth Bale has launched a trio of canned beers that bear his name.

The former Real Madrid and Tottenham star, who recently helped Wales book their place at this winter’s World Cup, has teamed up with Glamorgan Brewing Co.

Bale Ale had initially been brewed by SA Brain & Co to celebrate the launch of his Elevens Bar & Grill venue in the centre of Cardiff.

Glamorgan Brewing Co will take over brewing Bale Ale and it will be produced alongside Bale Lager and new Bale Pale.

All three will be available in aluminium beverage cans.

Richard Anstee, managing director of Glamorgan Brewing Co said: “A pint of lager whilst watching the football is one of life’s simple pleasures. As an independent, family-owned business, it’s amazing to be working with Gareth and his team to give more people the opportunity to sample what we have to offer this summer.”

Bale said: “The feedback to our collaboration with Glamorgan has been great – we’re really excited to be extending the partnership; it’s especially nice to be working with a brewery so local to me in South Wales, based just a few miles from where I grew up.”
