Arrowdawn, a leading communications and network specialist, has agreed a sponsorship deal with the organisers of the 24th Aberdeen and North-East Beer Festival.

Award-winning Arrowdawn, an Aberdeen-based ICT company, will sponsor the beer tokens purchased by thousands of visitors to the festival.

The event will once again be held in the Richard Donald Stand, Pittodrie – home of Aberdeen Football Club – and runs from Thursday, June 3 to Saturday, June 5 (2010).

Styles range from the darker stouts and porters to easy drinking milds, and from barley wines to light pilsner-style ales as well as fruit and wheat beers. At 85ft, the bar will be the longest in the North-east of Scotland.

The entry fee of £5 includes a commemorative beer festival glass sporting both festival and showcase brewery logos. This glass may be used for free re-entry to the festival at later sessions.

The festival is organised by the Aberdeen, Grampian and Northern Isles CAMRA branch. Doors open on Thursday, June 3, from 4pm until midnight, on Friday, June 4, from 3pm until midnight and on Saturday, June 5, from noon until 11pm. For more information log on to www.aberdeencamra.co.uk

Gordon Adie, Managing Director of Arrowdawn, said: “We’re delighted to be involved with such a long-standing and prestigious city event. We’re sure this year’s beer festival will be another outstanding success.”
