HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA , May 1, 2023 — On May 4th, BJ’s Restaurants, INC. (NASDAQ: BJRI) will introduce a new craft beer for a cause: BJ’s CureVeza™ Mexican-Style Lager. Available at all locations, while supplies last, BJ’s brand-new CureVeza™ was developed to raise money for its long-term partner, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society. By donating 25 cents for every pint brewed to the non-profit organization, BJ’s is helping build awareness and eradicate a disease that currently affects nearly 1 million Americans.

With more than 26 years of experience brewing award-winning craft beers, BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is renowned for its authentic, creative, and fresh brews. BJ’s new seasonal beer, CureVeza™, marks the latest milestone in a 25-year partnership with The National MS Society. The Mexican pale lager is the newest seasonal beer crafted by BJ’s award-winning brewery, and features hints of lime and salt and is a crisp, approachable beer for guests to enjoy this summer.

"We’re proud to support The National MS Society to help in the fight against a disease that affects so many," said Alex Puchner, Senior Vice President of Brewery Operations at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse. "We support this cause passionately at BJ’s, and it was a natural next step in our partnership to make a donation for every CureVeza™ pint brewed to support our community and foster scientific research for a cure."

Available starting on May 4th through June 28, 2023, CureVeza™ arrives just in time for Cinco de Mayo celebrations and is the perfect remedy for cooling off on a warm day. The medium-bodied, refreshing beer is inspired by Mexican-style lagers which are widely enjoyed for their drinkability and subtle flavors; plus, it pairs perfectly with BJ’s signature dishes including Avocado Egg Rolls, Loaded Nachos, Shrimp Tacos, and more!
