Pike Brewing Releases Special Ol’ Crimson Legendary Lager
Washington State University’s Ol’ Crimson Booster Club and Cougar Collective have partnered with Pike Brewing on the newly released Ol’ Crimson Legendary Lager. This new lager is crisp an crushable while benefiting Cougar Collective, a non-profit alumni group that supports academic and athletic programs at WSU.
Ol’ Crimson Legendary Lager is a classic American lager brewed with Washington grown Lyon Pilsner malt and Cashmere hops from the Yakima Valley to create a clean malt body and a light, refreshing hop finish and an approachable 4.8% ABV.
“As a proud Washington brewery, we’re always looking for ways to celebrate the cultures and communities across our great state,” said Charles Finkel, Founder of Pike Brewing. “With Ol’ Crimson Legendary Lager, we’ve crafted a thirst-quenching lager that all Washingtonians can enjoy while giving back to the Cougs and supporting their athletes.”
“Ol’ Crimson Legendary Lager is going to be a game-changer,” said Luke Wetzstein, Board Member with the Cougar Collective. “Cougs from all walks of life stepped up to offer their knowledge and expertise to make this happen. When we joined forces with Pike Brewing and the Board of Directors of the ‘Ol Crimson Booster Club, we knew we had created something truly special.”
“The Ol’ Crimson Flag is recognized the world over as a symbol of the deep rooted resilience and commitment of undefeated Cougar fans,” said Kira Bottles, Board Member with The Ol’ Crimson Booster Club. “We don’t succeed without engaged and supportive partners who care deeply about student-athlete representation in college athletics. After 24 seasons, this new partnership allows us to support those student athletes through additional unique Washington State passions.”
