Marathon Brewing Launches Signature Beer, 26.2 Brew
Marathon Brewing, a new endeavor from The Boston Beer Company, recently announced the launch of 26.2 Brew. The golden, hazy ale offers athletes a reward for their hard work that tastes as satisfying as their accomplishments feel. Brewed with Himalayan sea salt and coriander, 26.2 Brew provides drinkers with a crisp body and refreshing finish with 4.0 percent ABV, nine grams carbs, and only 120 calories, as per an official release.According to the release, 26.2 Brew was developed by Shelley Smith, a brewer, marathon runner, and triathlete, to provide purpose and balance for drinkers seeking more. As she developed the recipe, Smith invited other runners, including her brewery teammates as well as decorated champions Meb Keflezighi and Desiree Linden, to gain insight into what drinkers and athletes want in a beer.“As someone who loves beer and running, having the opportunity to brew a beer that helps runners celebrate their hard work was a passion project for me,” says Shelley Smith, Advanced Cicerone and Manager of Research & Product Innovation at The Boston Beer Company, as per the release. “Understanding what is important to runners is what made brewing this beer different from what is currently available. While most brewers are stripping flavor to hit a certain calorie mark, we focused on brewing a beer that not only fit what runners were looking for, but also delivered a great taste.”According to the release, “I’ve run my fair share of marathons over the years, and there are countless finish lines throughout the training process that deserve a celebration. Anyone who has trained for a marathon — who is dedicated enough to wake up before dawn or face the elements to get their miles in — knows that part of training is running for the reward,” says marathon legend Meb Keflezighi, the only athlete ever to win the New York City Marathon, the Boston Marathon, and an Olympic medal. “26.2 Brew celebrates runners’ hard work and achievement with high-quality ingredients and a really great taste.”The new 26.2 Brew evolved from the original Boston 26.2 Brew is available for the past seven years in and around Boston during the Boston Marathon, the world's oldest annual marathon, as per the release.According to the release, “Boston was an incredible experience for me last year, and I can’t wait to return,” says Desiree Linden, two-time Olympian and the first American woman to win the Boston Marathon open division in 33 years.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at 26.2 Brew. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
