1869 American Lager
In 1869 a new American tradition was born: college football. The first collegiate football game, College of New Jersey (now Princeton) vs Rutgers, brought 100 spectators, with Rutgers beating Princeton 6-4.

Around this time (1865-1920), breweries started popping up all over the nation. The boom of American beer introduced German Lagers to the American public. Aided by pasteurization and iceboxes, these lagers were soon available coast to coast. Lower alcohol content made lagers more palatable and accessible to the masses.

With 1869, we pay homage to American brewing tradition and the great game of football. 1869 will be release in limited quantities around Indianapolis just in time for some college football celebrations!
