Leyton Orient Form Partnership With Shepherd Neame Brewery
Founded in 1698, Shepherd Neame boasts a long and established history in the refreshment and hospitality sectors. From the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign, a number of new beers will be available for fans to purchase on home matchdays.
To launch the partnership, Shepherd Neame are releasing a limited‑edition commemorative lager that pays homage to Clapton Orient's contribution in The Great War. All the Club's supporters are being invited to vote on the final design of the bottle with two options being available to choose from.
Leyton Orient CEO Mark Devlin said: “I am very pleased to welcome Shepherd Neame to the club as our Official Beer Partner. We know how important a beer or two on a matchday can be to fans and we spoke to lots of brewers before deciding on who to work alongside.
“Shepherd Neame were the standout candidates, both in terms of their diverse and dynamic drink portfolio, and their eagerness to engage with our supporters throughout the tenure of the partnership.
“Fan engagement is at the centre of every decision that we make as a club and we are really excited about Shepherd Neame’s limited‑edition commemorative lager. I hope that this is the first of many joint initiatives that we can work together on with them.”
Shepherd Neame are working with the club to refurbish the South Stand Bar this summer and have also invested a significant amount of money to modernise the beer‑pulling infrastructure throughout Gaughan Group Stadium.
Shepherd Neame Chief Executive Jonathan Neame said: “We are very proud to announce this new partnership with Leyton Orient Football Club. The O’s are a fantastic club with a long heritage and incredibly loyal fanbase, and we look forward to working with them during the coming years.”
