FC Tucson And Pueblo Vida Brewing Co. Partner To Bring “Golazo” Match Day Golden Ale To The Pitch

Pueblo Vida Brewing Co. in Tucson, Arizona has announced a collaboration beer with USL soccer team FC Tuscon that will be served at home games. Full details are below.

TUCSON, Ariz.– A ‘golazo’ is a spectacular goal in soccer, and it’s a fitting name for the new craft beer to be produced by Pueblo Vida Brewing Co. this summer. The beer is one of the highlights of the sponsorship announced today between Tucson-based brewery and FC Tucson, the city’s professional soccer club.

As part of the sponsorship, Pueblo Vida will be the Official Craft Beer of FC Tucson and is the Official Supporter’s Section Sponsor.

Golazo, a Match Day Golden Ale, will be available at FC Tucson home games starting on Tucson’s birthday – Saturday, Aug. 20 (BUY TICKETS). It will be for sale at retail outlets and at Pueblo Vida as well.

“Pueblo Vida has a tremendous passion for Tucson, soccer and craft beer, and that’s evident in everything they do,” said Amanda Powers, FC Tucson president. “We’re excited to partner with Pueblo Vida to bring our fans a brand-new craft brew that exemplifies the collaboration between FC Tucson and downtown businesses.”

Founded and owned by Linette Antillon and Kyle Jefferson, Pueblo Vida has been a fixture in Downtown Tucson since 2014. They’ve been longtime supporters of FC Tucson and have hosted Watch Parties for the team in past seasons. Pueblo Vida and FC Tucson partnered for two Watch Parties for the U.S. men’s national team during its recent FIFA World Cup qualifying.

“We’ve always been big soccer fans and when this opportunity arose to work with Tucson’s professional soccer team, it was a natural fit with everything Pueblo Vida is about,” said Antillon. “The enthusiasm that craft beer aficionados have and those fans of soccer bring to the pitch are very similar, and we are proud to be able to bring those two together.”

The can art for the Golazo was designed by Ryan Trayte of Saywells Design Co., who has been responsible for Pueblo Vida’s extensive variety of can artwork. It incorporates the critical design elements and aesthetics of FC Tucson’s popular ‘barrio’ brand.

Pueblo Vida will also be the presenting sponsor for FC Tucson’s Fan Appreciation Night on Saturday, Oct. 15, when the club wraps up the USL League One regular season against Forward Madison (BUY TICKETS).
