THE FLATS – New Realm Brewing Co., the Official Craft Beer of Georgia Tech athletics, announced on Wednesday that its second Georgia Tech-inspired beer, Ale of an Engineer Golden Ale, will be available publicly on Saturday.
Ale of an Engineer is a refreshing golden ale with a light citrusy and piney hop aroma, featuring Cascade and Idaho 7 hops. It will be available for purchase at Georgia Tech home athletics events, beginning with Saturday’s baseball showdown versus archrival Georgia (2 p.m. – Mac Nease Park), as well as at New Realm Brewing Co.’s Atlanta location in the Old Fourth Ward along the East Beltline Trail (550 Somerset Terrace NE, Unit 101) and at select retail locations throughout the Atlanta metro area.
“We’re grateful to New Realm for providing Yellow Jacket fans and beer lovers with another great-tasting, Georgia Tech-branded beer – Ale of an Engineer,” Georgia Tech director of athletics J Batt said. “We can’t wait for everyone to be able to enjoy Ale of an Engineer at Tech baseball and softball games this spring, at New Realm’s awesome location on the Beltline and at home!”
“We are thrilled with this partnership and continue to build on the foundation created with the launch of HELLUVIENA Lager in the fall of 2022. Ale of an Engineer is a refreshing golden ale and the perfect addition to the lineup as we head into the summer months,” said Carey Falcone, co-founder and CEO of New Realm Brewing. “With Georgia Tech being just minutes from our Atlanta craft brewery, distillery and scratch restaurant, we have thoroughly enjoyed being a gathering place for the Georgia Tech community more and more. We are looking forward to being on campus and becoming a part of Tech history.”
Ale of an Engineer is New Realm’s second custom, Georgia Tech-branded beer, joining HELLUVIENNA Lager, which made its debut to great acclaim last fall. Both beers pay homage to the Yellow Jackets’ iconic fight song.
“Our partnership with Georgia Tech has been even bigger than we might have thought,” said Mitch Steele, co-founder and brewmaster of New Realm Brewing. “The fan enthusiasm, community engagement is awesome to be a part of. Bring on baseball season, summertime and another football season – our beers are great all year long!”
Legends, which has managed corporate partnerships and multimedia rights for Georgia Tech athletics since 2021, facilitated the partnership with New Realm.
New Realm Brewing Co. and Georgia Tech athletics are dedicated to responsible drinking. Please enjoy responsibly.
