Chattanooga Red Wolves SC has announced a partnership with Chattanooga-based OddStory Brewing Company (OBC). As a part of the partnership, the local brewery is introducing Red Wolves Irish Red Ale, crafted and brewed specifically with the Red Wolves SC brand and Chattanooga’s growing soccer community in mind.
“Our team couldn’t be happier to have OddStory on board as a partner for our inaugural season,” said Chattanooga Red Wolves SC President and General Manager Sean McDaniel. “From the start, we have sought community-minded partners. OddStory’s mission to unite through providing a quality product aligns perfectly with our vision to do just that on the pitch. I can’t wait for Chattanooga to see and taste Red Wolves Irish Red Ale.”
OBC started as an idea formed around offering a quality product, working hard and engaging the local Chattanooga-area community. Father and son duo Bryan and Jay Boyd actively began the venture in 2013, ultimately opening OBC’s doors in December 2016. OBC offers eighteen taps of in-house beers inside its East MLK Boulevard taproom and supplies over one hundred locations with craft beers ranging from ales, to lagers, sours, and barrel aged variations. Community is at OBC’s core, as the business partners with numerous local non-profit organizations to assist in raising awareness and funds.
“OBC is excited to be involved with the Red Wolves and Chattanooga’s vibrant sports community, including a continually growing soccer base,” said OBC Owner Bryan Boyd. “Our family has enjoyed soccer for many years, and we look forward to the opportunity to be supportive locally.”
In addition to Red Wolves Irish Red Ale, OBC will partner with Red Wolves SC on various community events, watch parties and meet and greets. The official draft release of Red Wolves Irish Red Ale in the OBC taproom is set for Saturday, Feb. 23—the same day as the team’s first preseason exhibition match against USL Championship side Atlanta United 2. Guests of the Red Wolves’ official 2019 Kit Reveal event on Saturday, Feb. 9 will receive a sneak peek of the brew.
The Red Wolves will make their debut in USL League One play on March 30, 2019 as the club travels to Dallas, Texas to face North Texas SC, a League One club operated by MLS side FC Dallas. The Red Wolves will face Forward Madison FC for the club’s inaugural opening night the following week on April 6. Kickoff is 7 p.m. local time.
