The Colorado Buffaloes have an official beer now. The University of Colorado on Tuesday announced it has partnered with Avery Brewing Company to create Stampede, a Colorado gold lager, to represent the school’s athletic programs. “Boulder is my home, and I’ve been rooting for the Buffs since becoming a Coloradoan 35 years ago,” Avery Brewing Company found Adam Avery said in a news release. “It’s a dream come true to partner with such a great university.” The 4.5% ABV lager is described as “clean, crisp and crushable,” according to Avery Brewing. It will be introduced at a kickoff celebration at 11:30 a.m. Aug. 23 at the brewery. The first 100 guests will receive a Stampede pint glass. The can features art of the school’s mascot, Ralphie, with the CU logo emblazoned on the bison’s forehead. The design was created by artist Neil Shigley, who had collaborated with the brewery for the packaging for its 25th anniversary last year. – Joe Nguyen, denverpost – Read More
