The Otter “Beer” Run!

Squash for my birthday got me rugby tickets!, He wanted to take me! how cool is that!. Now the game he chose is always an issue with me, I am A Harlequins supporter from the day I first found rugby, it’s the club I followed from school it was my local club and I still follow now.

Back in 1996 (It sounds so long ago) I first moved to Devon, I discovered Exeter Rugby, back on the old county ground, “the now Chiefs” played good rugby, the beer was cheap, the ground was ok and the shop was a portacabin! and if you got the wrong day grit would fly in your face due to the speedway track!, forward on 24 years, new stadium, one championship, 3 times runners up, and year on year top of the league, the Chiefs have come a long way and I have always supported them.

My Lovely Wife had arranged for Squash and Me join the Otter Brewery team (Beer sponsor to the Cheifs) to do the 1/2 time Otter fun run.

In front of 10,000 supporters, the Otter made us (and 4 others) do rugby a warm-up, passing practice, star jumps, squats, press-ups more running with the ball, then we found out our fate…

Two teams, Squash (team captain Blue) had to space hopper the rugby ball 1/2 the length of the pitch to me, I then had to sack race the ball to a pint cup, spin around 10 times (with the cup on my head) and try (in a very dizzy state) and get ball to last team player on the try line, who then had to bungee back up the field to score in a giant Otter pint…all on camera!

Madness but great fun, and what a great team the Otter boys and Lady were to make it a very special day!.

Yes, I was drinking Otter ale and what a fantastic beer, A great colour, great traditional Malty taste with a touch of bitterness but at 3.6% abv a true session beer which you can keep drinking without slurring your words and I do so love the 2 pints jugs but Please Mr. Chairman, reduce the price by a £1 so I can buy more!.
