Marietta, GA — Red Hare Brewing Company’s new Gem City Classic Craft Light Lager – or “Classic” for short – is brewed to drink easy and finish clean. The use of Citra hops in a light beer is very unique; and by adding Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops the crisp quality of this beer is complemented by fragrant aromas with no overpowering bitterness. At just 4.2% ABV and only 140 calories per can, Classic is the perfect beer for sports fans to drink while enjoying a game. “Inspired by Marietta’s reputation as the Gem City of the south, we set out to create a beer that reaffirmed the heritage of our Gem City,” says Roger Davis, Red Hare Founder and Managing Partner.
The Light Beer for Craft Beer Lovers (and Tailgaters)
Gem City Classic will be Red Hare’s first craft light lager, and one of very few in the market. Launching in cans and on draught, Classic will be featured in package stores, bars, and restaurants across Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle in early February. As a new year-round mainstay brew, Classic will be available throughout all sports seasons. Inspired by the classic style of lager beer, Classic is handcrafted to be flavorful and sessionable — great for any long activity or event, and certainly for just kicking back to relax. “We couldn’t be more excited to launch our latest beer, Gem City Classic,” says Bobby Thomas, Red Hare’s Co-Founder and Head Brewer. “We think it will be a huge success among craft beer lovers, light beer drinkers, and sports fans alike.”
Gem City Classic launches to the public on Saturday, January 28 from 2:00-6:00pm at the brewery. The launch will feature live music and sports games in addition to brewery tours, 36 oz. of beer samples, and souvenir glasses (with paid admission). Red Hare is taking the craft beer game to extra innings – and we invite you to come hit it out of the park with us. For more information, check out: www.redharebrewing.com/beers/gem-city-classic.
