BALTIMORE – Heavy Seas is excited to announce the re-release of, World Famous Pilsner brewed in collaboration with Royal Farms. World Famous was created to celebrate Royal Farms’ wildly popular Chicken Palooza event as it enters its fourth year. World Famous will be available for a limited time in the 41 Royal Farms stores that carry beer & wine throughout MD, VA & PA this July. This beer will also be available during a can release at the Heavy Seas Brewery on June 25th.
Two Baltimore neighbors blast off to make history. Heavy Seas and Royal Farms have teamed up to create World Famous Pilsner- a beer brewed to pair perfectly with Royal Farm’s World Famous fried chicken. This crisp, clean pilsner tastes even better with RoFo fried chicken and Western fries. Get ready for a pairing that’s out of this world good.
“We’re incredibly excited to partner again with Royal Farms this year on World Famous. I am a huge fan of RoFo chicken and have found a crisp, clean lager to be the perfect style of beer to compliment the subtle spice and yes, unctuous deliciousness, of a RoFo breast or wing,” says Heavy Seas Brewmaster, Christopher Leonard. “We’ve added a touch of citrus flair to the aroma and flavor of this pilsner-style lager with the deft addition of Citra hops late in the boil and in the fermenter. At 5.0% ABV, it pairs beautifully with Royal Farms chicken, yet has just enough complexity of flavor to be enjoyable on its own.”
“The World Famous Pilsner was a hit in 2020, and we are so excited to be bringing it back in 2021 with Heavy Seas. We completely sold out of it during our ChickenPalooza event last year. The Pilsner really is fantastic, perfectly paired on a warm Summers day with our World Famous chicken.” says Shelby Kemp, Marketing for Royal Farms.
World Famous will release in 6 packs of 16 oz cans at the Heavy Seas brewery Friday, June 25th. Chicken Palooza begins at Royal Farms July 1st.
