10 Barrel Brewing and Widmer Brothers Sign a Multi-Year Deal That Includes Creation Of First Standing Room Only Section In The Stadium
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 21, 2024 — 10 Barrel Brewing Co. (“10 Barrel Brewing Co.” or “10 Barrel”), a trailblazer in the craft brewing industry, and Widmer Brothers Brewing (“Widmer Brothers”), the original Portland craft brewer, both subsidiaries of Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray”) (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), are pleased to announce a multi-year, exclusive partnership with the Portland Timbers (“Timbers”). Widmer Brothers and 10 Barrel will become the official craft beer partners of the Timbers.

The partnership includes the unveiling of the ‘World’s Smallest Dive Bar’ complete with the fixings that make for a bar a true dive — a dart board, pool cues, and of course, Pub Beer neon lights to lead the way to the taps.

“We are thrilled to bring in 10 Barrel as an official sponsor and extend our longstanding relationship with Widmer. Adding the Pub Beer Patio to our list of fan experience options gives us the chance to offer fans a totally unique and one of a kind matchday perspective,” said CEO Heather Davis. “A top priority of ours with the creation of this space is to make it lively and accessible to all fans, and our partners 10 Barrel and Widmer have been instrumental in the execution.”
