The Goose Island x Japanese Breakfast Be Sweet Lager is a collaboration beer created in celebration of the 2022 Pitchfork Festival for avid fans of the group to try out.
The beer maintains a limited-edition profile that's brewed with persimmons to offer a fruit-forward flavor that speaks to Michelle Zauner's penchant for the fruit. Featuring a 4.8% ABV, the beer is packaged in cans emblazoned with artwork by Portland-based illustrator and animator Mary Vertulfo.
The Goose Island x Japanese Breakfast Be Sweet Lager will see proceeds from sales donated to Heart of Dinner in New York, which supports elderly members of the Asian American community experiencing food insecurity and isolation. The limited-edition beer is arriving July 15, but will only be available at the Goose Island Fulton St. Taproom and at the Pitchfork Music Festival.
