Fandom Ale Available for a Limited Time in All
Buffalo Wild Wings® Restaurants
Today, Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWLD) announced it will
offer fans a brand new craft beer brewed by Lagunitas Brewing
Company and designed as the perfect complement to eating wings and
watching sports. Fandom Ale is a hoppy pale wheat ale that will be
available on tap in all Buffalo Wild Wings locations throughout the
United States for a limited time beginning today.
“Everything we do, from our food to beverages and in-restaurant
viewing experience, is for our love of the sports fan,” said Todd
Kronebusch, vice president of guest innovation at Buffalo Wild
Wings. “We’re upping our game in craft beer innovation by offering
this limited release from Lagunitas Brewing Company, which was
designed with the sports fan in mind.”
Surveys with Buffalo Wild Wings Guests showed they enjoy
balanced, easy-drinking beers with full flavor, specifically wheat
beers and pale ales. As a result, Fandom Ale is a full-flavored
fusion of wheat beer and pale ale, with a rich dark gold color. It
features a citrus aroma and just the right balance of malt
sweetness and hop character that stands up to hot, spicy wings
without overpowering the palette. Fandom Ale also pairs well with
Buffalo Wild Wings’ other sauces, seasonings and burgers. With an
alcohol by volume of 5.5 percent, Fandom Ale allows fans to drink
responsibly while watching their favorite sporting events.
“Fandom Ale is the 39th of our ‘Fusion’ craft beers, a special
series in which we brew unique recipes in batches with very special
limited releases that reflect a true fusion of the creativity and
ideas of our brand,” said Karen Hamilton, director of
communications for Lagunitas Brewing Company. “We worked to come up
with something approachable, interesting and fun for sports fans.
We’re excited that Fandom Ale will be the first Fusion to be
distributed to every state in the country.”
With more than 1,200 locations in North America, Buffalo Wild
Wings serves more draft beer than any other restaurant in the
country. In 2013, Buffalo Wild Wings was the first to offer another
limited-time craft beer called Game Changer, which quickly became a
Guest favorite.
