Fried Chicken Craft Beers

The Royal Farms x Heavy Seas World Famous Pilsner is Refreshing

— June 6, 2020 — Marketing
The Royal Farms x Heavy Seas World Famous pilsner is a new limited edition summertime beer created in collaboration between the namesake convenience store and the craft brewer. The beer is positioned as being perfect for enjoying alongside the World Famous Fried Chicken from the convenience store and is sure to be a hit amongst consumers with a penchant for high-quality libations. The beer will be available at select locations in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania starting next month with a small amount of the beer being made available at the brewery for curbside pickup between June 26 and 28.

Heavy Seas Brewmaster Christopher Leonard spoke on the Royal Farms x Heavy Seas World Famous pilsner saying, "I am a huge fan of RoFo chicken and have found a crisp, clean lager to be the perfect style of beer to compliment the subtle spice and yes, unctuous deliciousness, of a RoFo breast or wing. At 5.0 percent ABV, it pairs beautifully with Royal Farms chicken, yet has just enough complexity of flavor to be enjoyable on its own."
