MOUSEHOLE ANNOUNCE NEW SHIRT SPONSOR

Mousehole AFC is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Keltek Cornish Brewery, one of Cornwall’s most renowned family-owned breweries. The collaboration sees Keltek becoming the club’s official beer and lager partner, as well as their new front-of-shirt sponsor. 

A Legacy of Excellence 

Founded in 1997 by Stuart Heath, Keltek Brewery has grown from humble beginnings as a small 2.5-barrel microbrewery in a disused stable block on the Roseland Peninsula to an award-winning brewery based in Redruth. With a production capacity of over 250 brewer’s barrels a week, Keltek continues to champion traditional brewing methods, using whole hop flowers, British malts, and hand-pitched yeast to craft its celebrated ales. 

Keltek’s commitment to excellence has been recognized with numerous accolades, including an impressive seven awards at the Taste of the West 2024 competition. Notably, the brewery’s popular dark ale, Pilot Gig, was crowned Champion Beer, making them back-to-back winners. Keltek is also a multi-award winner in CAMRA and SIBA competitions and was recently honoured with three prestigious European Beer Awards. 

Commitment to Sustainability 

In addition to their brewing expertise, Keltek is dedicated to sustainable practices. The brewery utilizes solar energy, carbon logistics, and locally sourced British malt to reduce its environmental impact, ensuring that its operations align with Cornwall’s values of preserving natural beauty and resources.

A Shared Vision 

Stewart Cawte, Managing Director of Keltek Brewery, expressed his excitement about the partnership: 

“We are incredibly proud and excited to be part of the Mousehole AFC family. Once I sat down with Ben Gibson (Director) and Adam Fletcher (Director of Football) and heard about the history of the club, what they’ve achieved, and their aspirations and goals for the next few years, I was immediately sold. I came away thinking, ‘How can we, as a local brewery, support Mousehole AFC?’ 

There are further exciting things in the pipeline that I won’t spoil now, but this partnership is about so much more than a logo on a shirt—it’s about two Cornish institutions coming together to achieve great things for the community.” 

A Celebration of Cornish Heritage 

As part of the partnership, Keltek will launch a special edition beer dedicated to Mousehole AFC, commemorating their links to the Penlee lifeboat—a poignant tribute to the region’s maritime heritage. Fans can look forward to enjoying Keltek’s beers and lagers in the clubhouse, alongside other popular drinks such as Guinness and Thatchers. 

Ben Gibson, Mousehole AFC Director, welcomed Keltek to the club: 

“This partnership not only allows us to showcase a top local brewery at Trungle Parc and on our travels in the Southern League, but it also opens up opportunities for a range of other commercial and cultural activities. It’s a collaboration that will benefit both the club and the brewery, and we’re thrilled to have Keltek on board.” 

Mousehole AFC and Keltek Cornish Brewery look forward to a fruitful partnership, bringing Cornish excellence, community spirit, and shared ambitions to the forefront of local football.
