Sheetz debuts own beer

Stores will offer coffee-bean IPA in partnership with Rusty Rail Brewing

From Mirror staff reports

Sheetz, in partnership with Rusty Rail Brewing Co., is preparing to unveil its first craft beer, Project Coffee Hopz, a limited-edition coffee bean IPA.

Available for a select time in 55 Sheetz stores across Pennsylvania, the beer will first be available to the public at a launch party on May 16 in Pittsburgh.

From 4 to 7 p.m. at the Sheetz on Library Road in Bethel Park, customers will have the opportunity to be the first to try and buy the limited-edition beer. In addition to beer tastings, customers attending the launch party are eligible for giveaways, including limited-edition Sheetz and Rusty Rail Brewing items such as pint glasses, koozies and more.

Brewed with Sheetz Brothers Sumatra coffee beans, the new IPA blend features light and floral taste notes with a subtle coffee presence. Four-packs of Project Coffee Hopz 16 ounce cans will be officially available at select Sheetz locations across Pennsyl­vania starting on May 21 and will retail for $7.99.

A small batch craft beer, Project Coffee Hopz will be available while supplies last and will not be restocked once sold out.

The beer will be sold at 5706 Sixth Ave., 700 Chest­nut Ave., and 1915 Pleasant Valley Blvd., in Altoona, as well as Bellwood, Hollidays­burg, Clays­burg, Breeze­wood, Car­rolltown, Cres­son, Pat­ton, three State Col­lege locations and in Centre Hall.

“We are lucky to collaborate with Rusty Rail Brewing Co., a well-known brewery born in central Pennsylvania, to create this limited-edition craft beer,” Ryan Sheetz, assistant vice president of brand at Sheetz, said in a statement. “We have worked for years to make beer available in our store locations across Pennsylvania and now, with beer in more than 140 stores across the state, we are excited to take the next step in this journey.”
