Sydney brewers and distillers Young Henrys have launched the Fitzroy Draught, their latest collaboration with Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) team Fitzroy Football Club.
Fitzroy Draught is a clean, crisp lager, with a smooth malt profile and balanced hop bitterness. At 4.0% ABV, the beer is made to be shared, highly drinkable and balances refreshment and flavour.
In their third year of collaboration, Young Henrys and Melbourne’s Fitzroy Football Club first teamed up over a love of grassroots football and a shared commitment to supporting local communities, venues and great culture alike.
Young Henrys head brewer Jesse Searls said the new brew is a natural fit for the two organisations.
“Young Henrys and Fitzroy FC is a mateship made to last. The beer in your hand is as comfy as a pair of footy shorts, with a solid kick of flavour from a good dose of whirlpool addition Topaz hops. Game-day beers never tasted so good. Up the Roys!”
Punters will be able to find Fitzroy Draught in cans at independent bottle shops and on tap at key venues across Melbourne, including the Fitzroy Town Hall Hotel.
The beer will officially launch at Fitzroy Football Club’s second home game of the season at Brunswick Street Oval on 25 April.
