Braxton Brewing Named Official Craft Beer Partner of the Cincinnati Reds

I brought you a peek at this beer back in Jan 2026, and now this full update from Braxton Brewing in Covington, Kentucky, and the Cincinnati Reds:

Historic Partnership Introduces Co-Branded Craft Beer “Ballpark Beer”
 
COVINGTON, KY (February 24, 2026) — Braxton Brewing Company today announced a new partnership with the Cincinnati Reds, becoming the first-ever Local Official Craft Beer Partner of the Reds.
 
This multi-year agreement brings together two Cincinnati-rooted brands. As part of the partnership, Braxton will develop a co-branded lineup of craft beers available at Great American Ball Park, all Braxton Taprooms and select retail locations throughout Reds Country. 

“To become the first Official Craft Beer Partner in Reds history is incredibly meaningful for our team,” said Jake Rouse, co-founder and CEO of Braxton Brewing. “Braxton was built on community, and this partnership represents a full-circle moment – bringing locally brewed craft beer to Reds fans at the ballpark and beyond.” 
 
Ballpark Beer was brewed specifically for Reds fans – a crisp German-style light beer crafted for nine innings, summer nights and the timeless tradition of baseball in Cincinnati. 
 
Ballpark Beer will debut on March 7 at all four Braxton Brewing Company locations and throughout Reds Country the following week. Additional co-branded craft varieties are planned throughout the season for fans to enjoy.
 
The partnership brings together two hometown favorites, celebrating Reds Country’s shared passion for baseball and locally crafted beer. 
 
“We’re excited to welcome Braxton Brewing Company as our Official Craft Beer Partner,” said Doug Healy, Reds Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “Their beers have been featured at Great American Ball Park since 2015, and we can’t wait for fans to experience this new lineup of co-developed flavors while cheering on the Reds.”
