THE FOLLOWING IS A DANVILLE DANS RELEASE
The Danville Dans and Riggs Beer Company have teamed up to create Danville Dans IPL by Riggs. It is a bold, West Coast-style hoppy lager that celebrates two local favorites, craft beer and baseball.
This signature brew is brewed with barley and corn from the Riggs Family Farm and will be available in cans at Danville Dans home game this season, starting Tuesday, May 27. The limited-edition can features a design that pays tribute to the historic Danville Stadium, one of the most iconic ballparks in the Midwest.
To launch the new beer, Riggs Beer Company in Urbana will host a kickoff party on Saturday, May 10, from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. The free event will feature the first public pours of Danville Dans IPL, food trucks, and raffles for free Danville Dans tickets.
“We’ve proudly served Riggs beers at our stadium for years, and this partnership is a natural next step,” said Rick Kurth, co-owner of the Danville Dans. “We’re excited to offer fans a beer that’s grown and brewed in Central Illinois and made just for them.”
Matt Riggs, co-founder of Riggs Beer Company, added: “We’ve always believed in brewing beer that reflects our community, and this one does just that. The Danville Dans have a deep history in Central Illinois, and we’re proud to help tell their story through this hoppy lager. It’s bold, it’s bright, and it’s built for game day enjoyment.”
Whether raising a can in the stands or enjoying the launch party with friends, Danville Dans IPL is brewed for fans who love flavor and tradition.
