Ahead of AFLW Season 7, the partnership between the Western Bulldogs and Two Birds Brewing has reunited, in support of the Fierce Women of the West.
The Western Bulldogs, who went from pioneers to premiers in 2018, have once again joined forces with the pioneering women of beer, Spotswood locals Two Birds Brewing.
During the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the Club’s partnership with the westside brewers was recognised for bringing together the ‘Daughters of the West’ and Australia’s first female founded brewery.
“It’s the perfect partnership for Two Birds, giving us an opportunity to support women excelling in their field and a grassroots movement right in our backyard,” said Two Birds co-founder Jayne Lewis.
“It’s amazing to see how far the competition has come since 2018, and we’re excited to reconnect beer and footy fans in the West.
“The rise of the AFLW and the inspiration it provides to us as mature women, and the new generation coming through, is intangible. It’s both empowering and tremendously exciting - the Bulldogs women are a committed and competitive bunch.”
In 2022, Two Birds will support the Bulldogs with their range of beers available at Mars Stadium, the Club’s second home ground, while the redevelopment of VU Whitten Oval continues.
Two Birds will also be a part of the ‘Leading Women in Sport’ luncheon, held in the lead-up to the Round 8 Pride Game.
“We’re thrilled to be reuniting with Two Birds Brewing in an official capacity, on the eve of Season 7 of the AFLW competition,” said Bulldogs’ CEO Ameet Bains.
“Since setting up in 2014, Jayne and Danielle have been able to build Two Birds Brewing into a highly successful business from the heart of the western suburbs, and they have continued to inspire a new generation to follow their dreams.
“We are excited to work closely with them again, to support our women’s team this season and beyond.”
Two Birds is offering a pot of beer on the house to celebrate the renewed partnership.
Any Western Bulldogs AFL or AFLW club member can present their card at The Two Birds Nest in Spotswood for their free first beer, each time they visit the birds for the whole AFLW season.
