Two Ohio-based companies teamed up on a limited-edition seasonal launch, the White Castle x Garage Beer Super Summer Slider Starter Kit, packed with a fun, authentic way for fans of both brands to savor the season. The kit, which is available exclusively online while quantities last, contains exclusive co-branded merch like an insulated fanny pack and sweatbands, plus 20 Beer Cheese Sliders, two Strawberry Cheesecakes On-A-Stick, two Gooey Butter Cakes On-A-Stick, and coupons for a dozen free Sliders from the freezer aisle. Although the kit doesn't contain any cans of Garage Beer, fans know where to source their own.
The partnership between White Castle and Garage Beer is just getting started, with more to come this summer.
