Furphy fronts up to The Bar
The Front Bar returns live and free in February 2023 on Seven and 7plus
Following a jam-packed 2022 season, which covered a wintery edition, cricket, the Commonwealth Games and the AFL, everyone’s favourite sports show, The Front Bar, is set to return to the screens of Seven in 2023 with a fresh new beer at the bar.
In a first for fans, resident patrons Mick Molloy, Andy Maher and Sam Pangwill be serving Geelong-born ale Furphywhen they kick-start happy hour at the bar on Channel 7 and 7plus from Wednesday, 1 February 2023.
Making its triumphant return ahead of the 2023 AFL Premiership Season, The Front Bar will enjoy a mega2023 with 37 episodes set to air across Seven with Furphy locked in as The Front Bar’s drink of choice each week.
The Front Bar host, Mick Molloy, said: “Furphy slid into my DMs, we hooked up and the rest is history. I’ve always been a fan of Furphy. It’s a beer. It’s from Geelong and…it’s a beer.
“It’s great to have Furphy on board. They had to pass my stringent taste test first, which went for about two weeks, but I have high standards.
“I have a reputation in the industry as a tough deal maker, but the free six pack eventually got me over the line,” he said.
“We wanted to change something, and once I checked that Andy Maher’s contract was watertight, we decided to switch to Furphy.”
Chris Allan Furphy Brand Director said, “Another Unbelievable demonstration from Furphy, building on our support for a number of AFL and AFLW teams. We’re excited to partner with The Front Bar as we say cheers to Furphy shining bright on The Front Bar in 2023 and beyond”.
