Athletic Brewing and Premier Lacrosse League Collaborate on Non-Alcoholic Brew
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Athletic Brewing Company, known as America’s largest dedicated non-alcoholic brewery, has teamed up with the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) to launch a unique hoppy pale ale named ‘Crease Crusher’. This new beverage is specifically designed to celebrate the lacrosse community and its vibrant culture, allowing fans to enjoy a refreshing drink without the alcohol content.
Brew Crafted for the Lacrosse Community
The Crease Crusher is not just any non-alcoholic beer; it is a carefully crafted brew that embodies the spirit of clutch moments on and off the field. Featuring a light malt sweetness, the ale is packed with fruity notes of tropical flavors, blueberries, and a hint of bright citrus. It's the perfect drink for post-game celebrations, bringing a refreshing touch to the excitement of lacrosse games.
Beginning May 7, 2026, fans can purchase Crease Crusher through
athleticbrewing.com while supplies last. Additionally, attendees at PLL games will have the opportunity to sample this limited-time brew during the highly anticipated All-Star Weekend.
Strengthening Partnerships
Bill Shufelt, Co-Founder and CEO of Athletic Brewing, highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating that the launch exemplifies the strength and commitment shared with the PLL. “As we move into our sixth season as the official non-alcoholic beer of the PLL, we’re proud to elevate the experience for players and fans alike,” he remarked. Athletic Brewing has made significant strides since its inception, innovating how non-alcoholic beers are perceived and enjoyed.
Meanwhile, Mike Rabil, Co-Founder and CEO of the PLL, expressed excitement about this collaboration. He noted that the journey with Athletic Brewing has been filled with shared visions of trailblazing within their industries. This partnership has grown alongside the PLL's fanbase and underscores Athletic’s leading position in redefining non-alcoholic beer.
Collaboration with Players for Ideal Taste
To ensure that Crease Crusher resonates with the lacrosse community, player ambassadors Rob Pannell, Brett Makar, and Asher Nolting were directly involved in shaping the drink’s flavor profile. This brew is crafted by the players, for the players and fans—mirroring the sport's intensity.
