Saucy Brew Works Brings Back Viral Stealing Signs Beer

by

Cleveland, OH – Saucy Brew Works (Saucy) is rolling out its wildly popular Stealing Signs beer, known as
a playful nod to last year’s Michigan football sign-stealing scandal. The local brewery created Stealing Signs as a fun way to rally
Buckeye fans for the big rivalry game and the beer buzz swept the Internet. Saucy released the beer prior to the game where it
sold out in less than an hour across their five locations statewide. Now it’s making a limited comeback with an advantage – fans
can now pre-order the beer to ensure they don’t miss out on this unique brew!

Stealing Signs is a Double Dry-Hopped Hazy Pale Ale crafted to deliver bursts of juicy, tropical flavors with a hazy finish.
Clocking in at 6.5% ABV, this beer balances smooth drinkability with hop-forward notes, making it the ultimate game-day
beverage. It will be sold in 16 oz. 4-packs and can only be found at Saucy Brew Works locations and Urban Meyer’s Pint House.
“We couldn’t believe the overwhelming hype of the beer and how fast it flew off the shelves,” says Amanda Kantor, Marketing
Manager of Saucy Brew Works. “The fans wanted it to come back, so we’re excited to share one final release and enjoy it over a
Buckeye win!”

The beer is currently available for pre-order on the Saucy Brew Works website under their shop and local beer page. Fans can
purchase up to six 4-packs during pre-order now through Tuesday, November 19th. Saucy will release the beer via pre-order and
to the public on Saturday, November 23rd at 11:00 AM. It can be selected for pre-order at their flagship brewery in Cleveland
(Ohio City), Saucy Brew Works Columbus (Harrison West), or Urban Meyer’s Pint House (Dublin). Saucy also plans to release the
beer at their additional taprooms at Pinecrest and Sandusky on the 23rd, while supplies last.

Consider this your sign to pre-order Stealing Signs! With limited quantities available, fans are encouraged to act fast to avoid
missing out again. For more details or to place an order, visit: PRE-ORDER: STEALING SIGNS – Saucy Brew Works and follow
