Penn State University recently approved beer sales at its Beaver Stadium. College football fans were immediately excited, with the college announcing beer will be available for purchase at 32 locations on the field, concourse, and club levels stadium-wide, except near the student section.
According to the popular website StateCollege.com, “On Oct. 1, stands will offer Miller Lite, Coors Lite, Blue Moon and Michelob Ultra, though offerings may change throughout the season…”
Instead of just offering macro beer during the games, we believe they should offer some of the below PSU-themed PA-made craft beers:
We Are – Stable 12 Brewing Company
4.5% American Lager – Crisp American Craft Lager brewed with all Pilsner Malt and German hops. A six-week lager from grain to glass, We Are is naturally carbonated, and never filtered.
Game Face – Antifragile Brewing
5.6% American Pale Ale – Game face is brewed because while we have a lot of fun, brewing requires diligence, focus, and grit, our main drivers towards excellence and uncompromised quality. This approachable American Pale Ale features a hazy pale base and modern American hop strains in large, delicious amounts. It’s time to put your Game face on!
White Out – New Trail Brewing
8.5% Hazy Double IPA – Brewed here in the Centre of PA, White Out is a very LOUD Hazy DIPA brewed with oats and rye malts. Deafeningly hopped with Simcoe, Citra, & Talus. Packed In with orange citrus character up-front, followed by tropical Passionfruit, and finishing with Victoriously dank resin. And we cranked the volume to 8.5%. Come enjoy the White Out conditions with us and 107,000 of our closest friends.
Blue Stripe – Axemann Brewery
5% Kolsch – Blue Stripe beer is the flagship beer of Axemann Brewery – a bright and clear kolsch-style brew perfected for everyday excellence. An interesting and refreshing style that exhibits some of the best characteristics of each with a perfect blend of crispness, lightness, and great flavor.
Tailgate Playlist – Our Town Brewery
4% Dry Hopped Pilsner – Hail to the Lion, loyal and true. Hail Alma Mater, with her white and blue. Penn State forever! Dry hopped Pilsner meant to be drank on game day. We taste victory!
Dancing Diamonds – Locust Lane Craft Brewery
Various Styles – Locust Lane releases this beer annually in different styles, to support Penn State THON. Money is donated from each 4 pack sold, and each “community cup” purchased at the brewery and online.
Tailgater – Happy Valley Brewing Company
4.7% Pale Ale – Tangerine Pale Ale. Notice the pale, straw color. Take in the bright, citrusy hop aroma. Savor the medium-bodied mouth feel and the dry, refreshing finish. Enjoy this beer at family picnics, with a sandwich at your local barn, or share it… with 106,572 of your closest friends.
Blue & White For Life – Collab w/ Deer Creek Malthouse, Shy Bear, Stable 12, and Locust Lane
6.2% Milkshake IPA – This collaborative Blue and White wheat milkshake IPA was brewed with heaping amounts of blueberry, and sweetened ever so slightly with lactose and vanilla for an all-around luscious flavor. Mix that with a more than generous addition of Mosaic hops producing tropical aromas, and you get an entire valley of happiness. This beer is best paired with football and “We Are” chants.
409 Amber Ale – Moo-Duck Brewery
5.5% Amber Ale – A tribute to the famous PSU football coach and his 409 victories. Featuring victory malt, the bready malt character is blended nicely with just the right amount of hops.
