The 'Preakness 148' event, which represents the latest edition of the 'Preakness Stakes' horse races, teamed up with the Baltimore-based Guinness Open Gate Brewery to launch a limited-edition and unabashedly fruit-forward beer called 'Preakness Ale.'
This particular limited-edition beer comes in at five percent ABV and stands out visually due to its rich ruby color. As far as its flavor profile is concerned, this fruit-forward beer promises delightful sipping at the racetrack on its own, but is also well-suited toward being incorporated into creatively crafted cocktails.
“It is very exciting to create something special for Preakness, given how integral to Baltimore’s culture the race is,” stated Oliver Gray, marketing manager at Guinness Open Gate Brewery. “From the Guinness gates to the Preakness Stakes, this is the beer to enjoy while celebrating the occasion."
