Quinnipiac University and Stony Creek Brewery in Branford have partnered to launch a new beer, Bobcat Golden Lager.
The new beverage is now available at many area locations, and its blue and gold label features Boomer, Quinnipiac’s Bobcat mascot.
According to the new beer partners, a portion of every sale will finance student entrepreneurship grants. The grantmaking authority will be stewarded by Mostafa Analoui, the Carlton Highsmith Endowed Chair of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Quinnipiac.
“We share the same love and passion for our local community, always striving for excellence and having the highest of standards,” said Stony Creek Brewery President Ed Crowley Jr. “We are especially proud that a portion of all sales of Bobcat Golden Lager will go into a student entrepreneur fund, assisting Quinnipiac students in funding their business endeavors.”
“This is very familiar territory to them, and community involvement is very important to the Crowley family that owns Stony Creek Brewery. Because of that, they were the right partner for us,” added Michael Kassa, Quinnipiac’s associate vice president for corporate partnerships.
