From Fort Collins:
Fort Collins, Colo. – FCB (Fort Collins Brewery) is excited to pair beer with
America’s favorite pastime, Major League Baseball. Hometown Helles, a limited
release beer that was aged over Louisville Slugger maple bats releases Opening
Day, April 6th.
Hometown Helles was brewed with the help of Rocky Mountain High
School Alumnus baseball standout and 2014 Pittsburgh Pirates draftee, Jess
Amedee. Originally from Fort Collins, Amedee spent the day brewing with the
FCB brew team to give the beer its hometown touch.
“I can’t say enough about the work that is being done and the quality that
is put into each beverage. I thank the Fort Collins Brewery for the opportunity
and lasting impression that has been made,” said Amedee.
The crack of a bat, a cheering crowd and a refreshing beer to top it off,
Hometown Helles is a brew that’ll take you back to your old stomping grounds
no matter where you are now. Pitched with traditional German Lager Yeast and
aged over Louisville Slugger maple bats, Hometown Helles’ malt profile
balanced with a touch of spicy hop characters makes for a standout addition to
your spring lineup.
ABV: 5.3%
SRM: 5
IBU: 20
Hometown Helles is available in draft only at FCB Modern Tavern and a
few select bars and restaurants in Colorado.
“Opening Day is an American tradition and we are thrilled to release an
easy drinking craft beer in honor of baseball’s relaxing, yet always on the verge
of a home run, culture,” said Kaylee Kulich, FCB’s Brand Manager. “Having Jess
here to brew it with our team really made the beer special for us and tied it all
together.”
Along with releasing Hometown Helles, FCB is also celebrating Opening
Day with a grill out at FCB Modern Tavern, including house made Maibock
Bratwursts. Team FCB apparel will be 10% off for the entirety of April 6th,
2015, valid on one item.
