Beer is Best at the Ashes

ADL_2570

Marston’s Brewery are the official brewery of the England Cricket Team and Tom Lenahan, despite his self confessed pessimism, is looking forward to a successful Ashes series against the Aussies this year.

Being a cricket fan himself Tom is no stranger to the cricket grounds and he is definitely a fan of Trent Bridge, “It’s great to be so central in the City with so much going on around the ground.”

Tom goes on to say, “There’s a great atmosphere, it’s one of the smaller grounds at international level but it makes a noise above that!”

Marston’s are proud of their long standing support to the England Cricket Team but Tom is also keen to point out that they do a lot for grass roots cricket both in terms of supply and sponsorship.

Marston’s are working with the Times on a Social Media Competition to get the fans to tweet their favourite “sledge”, within the bounds of good taste of course! Just hashtag your tweet with #pedigreebanter and #rise of course!
