Cains teams up with 2008 Capital of Culture

November 23, 2005: Cains is to supply the official beer for Liverpool's reign as European Capital of Culture in 2008.

The brewery is the first official supplier to be appointed by the Liverpool Culture Company.

Cains joint managing director Sudarghara Dusanj said: "We have been negotiating this deal since the day Liverpool was announced as Capital of Culture.

"There are a lot of beer companies with deeper pockets than us who wanted to be involved, but we are the local brewery and we believe that this played a big part in the selection.”
