A Toast to SMU, Mustangs, and Local Business with PONY PILS
Lakewood Brewing has once again proven itself to be more than just an ordinary brewery. In a remarkable demonstration of community support and school spirit, they’ve created a fantastic, new draft dubbed PONY PILS, specially brewed in honor of Southern Methodist University (SMU) Mustangs, their hometown college.
Forging Bonds over Pilsners
This locally produced, custom-brewed PILS is a testament to the shared camaraderie and mutual interest between the SMU Mustangs and Lakewood Brewing. It’s the perfect meeting point between a university known for its esteemed heritage and a brewery recognized for its innovation and dedication to the craft.
What makes this endeavor more daring is the fact that this ties SMU, a venerable educational institution in the heart of Texas, with a local brewing company, showcasing a unique blend of academia and craft beer enthusiasts. This also culminates in a vibrant community spirit that characterizes the city’s culture.
PONY PILS: A Special Brew for a Special Community
Lakewood Brewing offers a warm tribute to the SMU Mustangs through PONY PILS, an offering that stands as a testament to the vigor and vitality of the Mustang spirit. Crafted with attention to detail and a deep respect for traditional brewing methods, PONY PILS is aimed at capturing the essence of their local university’s identity in a can.
PONY PILS: Where Tradition and Craftsmanship Meet
PONY PILS is a classic pilsner. For those who might not know, a pilsner is a type of pale lager that originated from the Czech Republic in the 19th century. In terms of flavor profile, PILS are known for their light, crisp taste, accented by a moderate amount of hops, not overly bitter, which provides a nicely balanced, easy-drinking experience.
In the case of PONY PILS, the Lakewood Brewing team concocted a slight twist on the classic by adding a hint of Texas character, tweaking the traditional brewing process to offer a uniquely local taste that Mustang fans and alumni can connect with.
What Does This Brew Mean for the SMU Mustangs?
Offering a locally brewed pilsner tailored to the university’s identity and culture is not merely about creating another brand; it’s about embodying the Mustang spirit into a bottle of beer. It permeates the university traditions, mirroring the energy, drive, and camaraderie witnessed at SMU into the carefully crafted brew.
PONY PILS: Uniting Mustangs One Brew at a Time
Lakewood Brewing, by creating PONY PILS, has taken a bold step to forge a connection with the SMU community. It serves as a badge of honor for the SMU Mustangs, the students, the faculty, and all the fans. It unites the past, present, and future Mustangs in a way very few items can.
Every time SMU’s staff, students, alumni, and supporters will crack open a PONY PILS, they will be reminded of their shared experiences, their victories, and their strong community.
Putting SMU Mustangs on the Craft Beer Map
Creating a custom brew for a university points to a growing trend of depicting local folklore through craft beer – an exciting change in the craft beer scene. It is a fantastic instance of a local business tying its product to the pulse of local academia, thereby promoting an ace blend of community spirit and excellent craft beer.
Lakewood’s brewing of PONY PILS for the SMU Mustangs is indeed a noteworthy example of the close-knit bonds between craft breweries and their communities, and a wonderful method of capturing the town’s character in a bottle.
Community Cheers to PONY PILS!
The PONY PILS is a celebration, not just of the SMU Mustangs, Lakewood Brewing, or the city they’re in, but of the commitment of local businesses to their communities, the spirit of college sports, and a consumer’s love for uniquely premium product. It’s a pint filled with community pride. So, the next time you’re at a home game, why not give this tribute to the Mustang spirit a shot? Cheers to PONY PILS!
