Musselburgh Racecourse has agreed a three year deal with Edinburgh’s only remaining Victorian brewery, The Caledonian Brewery, to become its exclusive supplier of draught lagers and ales.
As part of the agreement, the Edinburgh brewery, which is famous for its Deuchars IPA and is part of the wider HEINEKEN Group, will host a new Caledonian Brewery Race Day on Saturday 12 September which includes a £30,000 feature race.
The meeting will also feature a beer festival, showcasing Caledonian’s other premier ales including Edinburgh Castle 80/- and Flying Scotsman as well its craft lager, Caledonian Three Hop.
The racecourse, which has enjoyed a 20 year relationship with HEINEKEN, will replace current branding around the racecourse track and grounds with new Caledonian Brewery branding.
Musselburgh Racecourse commercial manager, Sarah Montgomery, hailed the sponsorship deal as an ideal partnership in what is VisitScotland’s Year of Food and Drink.
She said: “The Caledonian Brewery is a much respected Edinburgh institution and its reputation for high quality products such as its eponymous 80/- ale is an excellent match with our own focus on providing a premium racing experience at Musselburgh.
