This season will mark Watford's 100th year playing at Vicarage Road, the first match took place on 30 August 1922 when they faced Millwall.
Kevin Newman, head of retail at Watford FC added: “When we were looking to create a beer to celebrate the centenary of Vicarage Road, Tring were the
obvious choice, as a Hertfordshire based brewery with a reputation for great ales.

“As the first beer Watford Football Club have put their name to since the FA Cup Final Commemorative Ale in 1984, it was important that the beer not only looked great but tasted fantastic too.
“Having now sampled a bottle or two I can safely say that this will not only serve to be a great piece of memorabilia but will be a beer that fans will keep coming back for.”
