From Stone:

Stone Fight On! Pale Ale available throughout Southern California for the college football season

ESCONDIDO, CA  (September 5, 2024) – USC fan-favorite, Stone Fight On! Pale Ale returns for its second college football season. In a can or on draft, ask any USC fan, it’s their first pick for another round.   zzubreebym

The University of Southern California has had 523 NFL Draft picks but only one that also comes in a can. Fans are cheering for the official beer of USC Athletics, brewed exclusively by another SoCal’s own – Stone Brewing. 

Stone Fight On! Pale Ale made its debut alongside the 2023 college football season. 5.5% alcohol by volume and standing at 16oz tall, it made an immediate impact and had a quick rise on the depth charts of tailgate parties. It is a quintessential SoCal Pale Ale with a balanced blend of tropical and citrusy hop flavors. It is light-bodied and endlessly drinkable for long game days.  

The beer can be found at USC football home games this fall, in addition to stores, bars and restaurants all over Southern California. Use Find.StoneBrewing.com to locate it or order it online with shipping throughout California at Shop.StoneBrewing.com.
