Anglia Community Leisure has today signed a deal with local company Greene King to provide all the beer and ales at Forest Heath leisure centres.

Greene King, based in Bury St Edmunds, is one of the leading brewing companies in the UK and has been brewing award-winning ales for more than 200years. This new partnership has been welcomed by leisure chiefs and will be rolled out across the district as soon as possible, starting with Brandon Leisure Centre this week and with Newmarket Leisure Centre to follow suit shortly.

There will be a special launch evening at Brandon Leisure Centre on Friday 27 July so local people will be able to enjoy free samples, a free prize draw and special drinks promotions from 7pm. Customers will also be able to watch the opening ceremony for the London 2012 Games on wide-screen TV.

Tony Bass, chief executive of Anglia Community Leisure, says: "We are delighted to be able to add another local supplier to our growing business and we are relishing the opportunity to work with one of the leading brewers in the UK."
