Athlete-Inspired Pales Ales

FKT Pale Ale is the First Electrolyte-Infused and Nutrient-Rich Beer

Brewed with athletes in mind, Sufferfest's FKT Pale Ale was named after the popular saying 'Fastest Known Time' to show the intensity of flavor and nutrients.

California-based brewers Sufferfest created FKT to be the first ever electrolyte infused beer option that can keep all consumers hydrated and active all summer -- or to offer a unique post-workout drink that wont make athletes feel tired or worn down. Brewed with citra, magnum, azacca, magnum hops and black currents, the flavor is light and bright to make it perfect for the summer. Adding a large dose of vitamin C creates a unique flavor as well as a powerful way to fend off muscle cramps.

With only 165 calories per can, Sufferfest's new FKT Pale Ale was designed for athletes but can be enjoyed by anyone.
