Swine City Brewing and ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University are collaborating on a pair of beverages that will benefit ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú and its student-athletes.
The 1809 Bohemian Pilsner and RedHawk Razz Raspberry Lemonade Hard Seltzer will debut Oct. 26 at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú athletic venues when ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú football hosts Central Michigan at Yager Stadium and ice hockey hosts Lindenwood at Goggin Ice Center.
Geared toward ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú alumni, the beverages will continue to be available at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú ticketed sporting events, as well as at the Swine City Taproom in Fairfield.
Dan Ebben, owner of Swine City Brewing, described the beverages as a Bohemian-style pilsner and refreshing, crisp raspberry lemonade, respectively.
“The creativity and collaboration pays homage to the university itself, and we’ve worked to create something that alumni especially will enjoy as they toast the love and honor of their ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú days,” Ebben said.
The RedHawk Razz Raspberry Lemonade Hard Seltzer packaging will include a collage of ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú imagery, while the 1809 Bohemian Pilsner will feature the university’s iconic Pulley Tower.
Swine City Brewing has connections to ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú beyond this upcoming collaboration. The company has been a concessions provider for university sporting events since 2023, and co-owner Claire von Saucken ’92 attended ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú and majored in Political Science.
A ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Merger with Sylvius von Saucken ’91, Claire von Saucken has many fond memories of ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú – including time spent at football and hockey games.
“If I was at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú, I went to the hockey game,” Claire von Saucken said.
“My husband and I, being a ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Merger, are particularly thrilled for this opportunity. I could not be happier. When I found out this was a possibility, I said, ‘We need to do this.’”
Swine City Brewing initially began selling seltzers at Oxford’s Farmers Market.
“We like the relationships we’ve developed with not only the university but with the surrounding communities,” Ebben said. “The Farmers Market showed us what the university is about. It really brings a lot of people together.”
A portion of sales from the two beverages will benefit ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú students through scholarships, as well through student-athlete support and initiatives centered on the responsible use of alcohol.
The goal and focus of alcohol education at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú is to prepare students to make legal, low-risk choices about drinking during college and in the future. For more information about university-wide efforts to address alcohol-related issues on and off campus, please visit Alcohol Resources, Information and Initiatives. The 1809 Bohemian Pilsner and RedHawk Razz Raspberry Lemonade Hard Seltzer are brewed for and marketed to adults over the age of 21.
