First there were the Golf Boys. Maybe this group should be called the Beer Boys.
Graeme McDowell,
Keegan Bradley and
Freddie Jacobson are in the beer business, launching their own label of craft beers through Lakeland, Florida-based Beer Hub. The name of their company is GolfBeer Brewing Co.
Jacobson's Scandinavian Style Blonde Ale is brewed with Crystal malt and a variety of European hops. Bradley's New England Style Lager is made with two-row barley and North American hops. The other is G-Mac's Celtic Style Pale Ale, with a floral hop aroma and a snappy finish.
Each golfer contributed to the design of the packaging that features their name, signature and silhouette.
GolfBeer initially will be available on draft and in 12-ounce cans at select golf courses and restaurants in Florida, with plans to expand to grocery stores and bars next year. Among the restaurants that will carry the craft beer is McDowell's restaurant in Orlando called Nona Blue.
McDowell said as a golfer and a restaurant owner, the beer company brings together "two of my favorite things."
