CELINA, Texas — Rollertown Beerworks announced today the launch of its First Annual “Hazy Gonna Set it Off” program, a tribute to the legendary “Gravy Gonna Set it Off” story of personal Thanksgiving failure from Ben Rogers, co-host of the Ben & Skin show on 97.1 The Eagle and co-owner in Rollertown Beerworks. Ben re-tells this story on the air every year and it has created a cult following among DFW radio fans that, for many, signals the start of the Thanksgiving holiday.
“This story represents personal holiday failure on a grand scale,” said Ben Rogers, Ambassador of Fun at Rollertown Beerworks. “It has been a great way to make fun of myself over the years to lift people’s spirits and to get them ready for the Thanksgiving holiday.”
The program is headlined by two new beers, limited edition merchandise tied-in to the story, and limited edition 22oz bottles of three beer styles meant to act as a tasting companion for people’s Thanksgiving meals. The two new beers are a Pomegranate Table Saison named Belgian Barnyard, which is meant to act as a Thanksgiving appetizer, while the program’s namesake Hazy Gonna Set it Off, a double dry hopped double IPA, is designed to accompany the main Thanksgiving course. These two are followed by Wardaddy Imperial Stout, which is meant to serve as dessert with its chocolate, coffee, and vanilla tasting notes.
Collectible Hazy Gonna Set it Off bottles are limited to 750 units and will sell for $20 each. Each bottle features a wax-dipped closure, a custom sticker designed by local artist Mik Jimenez, and is personally signed and numbered by Ben & Skin. Those who miss out on this limited bottle supply can still acquire 16oz crowlers of the namesake beer for their holiday enjoyment. Wax-dipped Belgian Barnyard and Wardaddy bottles will sell for $15 each.
For fans who are seeking the full production, the brewery offers 100 “Set it Off” packages for $50 each including:
(1) Limited Edition 22oz bottle of Hazy Gonna Set it Off
(1) Limited Edition 22oz bottle of Belgian Barnyard
(1) Limited Edition 22oz bottle of Wardaddy
(2) Hazy branded red reusable cups (a key component of the Gravy story)
All of which is bundled up in custom Hazy Gonna Set it Off carriers
A portion of proceeds from Hazy Gonna Set it Off will go to benefit Grace Bridge, a Celina-based charitable organization providing food, clothing, and other necessities to those in need. The brand is also encouraging online giving to Grace Bridge via www.RollertownBeerworks.com and their social media channels.
