Hop Valley Releases a Beer That Tastes Like a Cowboy Boot – Sh*tkicker Hazy Pale Ale

From Hop Valley:

Beer that tastes like a cowboy boot? Hop Valley has made it happen with its newest surprisingly delicious Hazy Pale Ale!

Introducing Hop Valley Sh*tKicker – a Hazy Pale Ale with notes of leather that packs a hoppy kick and smooth malt like your favorite pair of cowboy boots.

At 5.5% ABV, the beer is brewed in collaboration with iconic boot brand, Drew’s Boots, so that authentic leather flavor is brewed right in. Made with Eclipse and Citra Cryo hops blended with 2-row oat and buckwheat malts for a light but rich brew, the beer is finished with Elixir hops for a hint of leather and a whole lot of cowboy flavor!

Sh*tkicker is available now on tap and in select local stores throughout Oregon. For more information about the brew and where to find it, visit hopvalleybrewing.com/buybeeronline.

Plus, to celebrate the release of Sh*tkicker, Hop Valley and Drew’s Boots are giving away a pair of boots so both your feet will be rocking the cowboy lifestyle. Enter to win between now and July 31 at  hopvalleybrewing.com/boots. 

“We’re proud to partner with our buddies over at Drew’s Boots. We’ve been business partners for over a decade- supplying our brewers and production floor employees with their quality footwear. Last year after a couple Citrus Mistresses on the patio, we began to dream about a collaboration brew. We talked about what sort of craft beer cowboys would drink – something with a little hop kick but still refreshing. Drew’s Boots proposed a name as a loving ode to the cowboy boot- Sh*tkicker, and the beer was brewed! The Rodeo-inspired can features a Hop Valley lasso shield, boot stitching, a belt buckle silver shine, and is branded with the Drew’s Boots logo.” -Megan McKenna, Director of Marketing Hop Valley Brewing

“With a new beer comes new boots! We designed and developed a custom Hop Valley western boot and kept an old school look to resemble a true Sh*t Kicker but with some Hop Valley flare: green leather and the Hop shield stitched on the upper, pull straps and embossed on the leather soles. It’s been a privilege and joy working with Hop Valley on this collab project and we look forward to watching it prosper!” – Kyle Baker, “Chief Boot Officer”, owner of Drew’s Boots
