In anticipation of summer, Michelob ULTRA and Devereux Golf are dropping a limited-release merch collection that pays homage to the intersection of golf and city life. The new series is dubbed 'Golf Bodega' and "blends together the nostalgia of a classic city bodega with a fresh streetwear attitude." The series ranges from hats, hoodies, tees, and more. Moreover, the collection is unisex.
In addition, Michelob ULTRA is giving fans the opportunity to caddy for legend Brooks Kaepka with its new limited-edition Golf Packs. The 18 and 24-packs feature unique QR codes, allowing fans to scan for a chance to win the experience, along with other giveaways.
