Palace fans will have the option of buying a pint of Croydon’s finest when they travel to Brighton on Sunday.

Crystal Palace take on Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium, with thousands of Eagles’ supporters making the trip to the south coast.

The Cronx Brewery have been asked to supply some of their beer in the away end for the highly anticipated derby.

Brewers Mark Russell and Simon Dale, both Palace fans, were asked to supply four casks of their ale.

Brighton usually try to put on ales in the away which are from the visiting team’s area.

The Cronx Brewery are also sponsoring the Beamback at Selhurst Park, where fans who can't get to the game can watch it on the big screen.

Mr Russell said: “We are delighted they contacted us about supplying the beer for the away end.

“Although we don’t normally deliver into Brighton, we organised to swap some casks with Widdi at Downlands Brewery in West Sussex.

“This ensured the beer got to the ground for the thirsty fans, in return for supplying some of their ales locally.

“We hope that Palace fans will be drinking in celebration come Sunday afternoon.”
