Murray State Athletics has partnered with Country Boy Brewing of Lexington to release a new craft beer called “Murray State of Mind.” The American Wheat Ale is designed for tailgates and Racer fans across the state.
The beer is brewed with malted wheat and a touch of Bravo hops, creating a light, crisp and refreshing finish meant to appeal to fans cheering on Murray State University athletics.
Murray State Director of Athletics Nico Yantko said the collaboration is a new branding initiative that will help expand the university’s presence in regional markets.
Country Boy Brewing co-founder Daniel “DH” Harrison said the brewery is excited to partner with the university, noting several Murray State alumni work for the company.
“Murray State of Mind” will be available in cans and on draft beginning March 23, just ahead of the Racers’ baseball matchup against the University of Kentucky in Lexington.
Fans can try the new brew at an official launch event March 24 at Tap 216 in Murray, starting at 5 p.m.
