To celebrate the St. Louis Blues and its first-ever championship, [Bud Light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickoff-beers) will be creating the 'Gloria Brew,' a special batch of beer that's set to be brewed to the continuous sounds of Gloria by Laura Branigan. As ever, the beer brand's [light American pale lager](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-the-dream) is prepared with hops, barley, water and rice but is additionally infused with the "sound of [Blues Victory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dales-ipa-mix-pack)."

To make sure that the sound can be absorbed by the beer, Bud Light opted to play Gloria on repeat, 24/7 during the brewing process and use large-scale headphones on the brewing tank. For even more spirit, the tank will be wrapped in Blues colors and signed by every member of the 2018-2019 championship team. Later this year, fans will be able to purchase the Gloria Brew in special championship packs.
