Gareth Bale has launched his own brand of beer ahead of the upcoming World Cup. The Welsh star is introducing a line of three beers to mark his country’s return to the tournament. It is the first time Wales have played in a World Cup since 1958.
Welsh beer enthusiasts will be able to choose between Bale Ale, Bale Pale and Bale Lager. Both beers are made by Glamorgan Brewing Co. in collaboration with Bale. They will be available from UK supermarket brand Tesco for $1.90 each from October 3.

The winger has claimed the idea has been in the works for years. “I am really looking forward to launching Bale Ale and Bale Lager in Tesco stores in Wales; it’s something we started a few years ago and seeing the brand grow is really exciting,” Bale told PA News.
Bale also suggested that the partnership is a perfect fit due to the company’s proximity. “Being able to team up and work with Glamorgan Brewing Co, who are based just 10 minutes from my house, makes it even more special and we are so proud of what we have created together,” said the winger.
Proceeds from beer sales will go to help grow football and build facilities in their home country. “With this partnership, we aim to give something back to grassroots Welsh football and, in particular, we want to help develop football facilities in Wales at a local level,” Bale continued. “We hope that fans in Wales can enjoy Bale Ale and Lager as we head into this year’s World Cup.”
Is Gareth Bale beer available in the US?
Along with the beer found at Tesco, the company also has plans to bring the two beers to the United States. A timeframe for importation has not yet been announced. However, it looks like LAFC fans can look forward to trying both beers by 2023.
Glamorgan Brewing Company is a family owned brewery and beverage company from Glamorgan in South West Wales.
