FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Phoenix, October 3, 2024 – Arizona State Parks and Trails, in partnership with Historic Brewing Company, are launching a unique series of park-themed local brews. Inspired by the state parks, each brew in this series aims to engage the community with the outdoors, Arizona’s history, and its parks.

The inaugural brew, a Mexican lager featuring the historic Kannally Ranch House from Oracle State Park in southern Arizona, will be available for purchase from October at Historic Brewing Company’s three restaurants and tap rooms in Williams and Flagstaff.

“These local brews not only serve as a refreshing treat after a hike or around a campfire, they will also inspire stewardship in our parks and foster a greater appreciation of our local outdoor spaces,” said Michelle Thompson, deputy assistant director at Arizona State Parks and Trails.

Celebrations for the Kannally Ranch House Mexican Lager include three public events: a tasting at Tap + Bottle in Tucson on October 25, 2024; a tasting and evening of nature programming at Oracle State Park on October 26, 2024; and a morning of volunteerism and stewardship at Oracle State Park on November 2, 2024. Details for these events can be found at AZStateParks.com/Brew.

A portion of the sales of these specialty brews will benefit Arizona’s state parks, reinforcing the commitment to preserving the history, culture, and landmarks of Arizona.

John Kennelly, co-founder of Kennelly Family Concepts, Inc, said, “What better way to showcase our history than by partnering with Arizona State Parks and brew lovers from the community to ensure these parks stay relevant and well-looked after?”
