Rhode Island FC Beer Release: A Match Day Delight

The Perfect Brew for Match Days

The American-style pale ale will be available on match days at Beirne Stadium as well as at the Guild’s Pawtucket and Warren locations. This past weekend the Guild Brewing Company teamed up with the Rhode Island Football Club to create a special limited beer release. Featuring a striking label designed by RIFC graphic designer Carly Melton, the American-style pale ale will be available in sixteen-ounce cans (five percent ABV) at the club’s home base, Beirne Stadium, on match days. This will also be the featured $5 Beer Night beer when the club hosts defending USL Championship title winners Phoenix Rising FC for Champions Night on Friday, April 26. Limited tickets are available now at rhodeislandfc.com/tickets.

Where to Find the American-Style Pale Ale

If you’re craving the brew between matches, you can also pick up four-packs at the Guild’s Warren and Pawtucket locations. Rhode Island’s largest craft beer company brewed the ale with the spirit of the club’s inaugural season in mind. They describe it as a refreshing, sessionable pale ale with a soft mouthfeel and moderate bitterness. Golden yellow in color, it offers moderate levels of haze and a tangerine/citrus aroma.

A Natural Partnership

“It was a natural fit to partner with The Guild for our first-ever co-branded product,” says Rhode Island FC Club President Brett Luy. “The Guild has always been community-centric and passionate about supporting Rhode Island FC. Alongside The Guild, we’re proud to offer the first RIFC Pale Ale to our fans.”

A Collaboration Rooted in Community

The organizations’ partnership and collaborations go back as far as 2019 when the Guild Pawtucket hosted an afterparty for the initial Tidewater Landing project announcement. They then followed up with afterparties for the stadium’s groundbreaking and official brand launch in August and November 2022, respectively.

Excitement Brewing at The Guild Brewing Company

“We’re really excited to partner with Rhode Island FC and create this unique collaboration to celebrate the inaugural RIFC season,” says Jeremy Duffy, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at the Guild Brewing Company. “We can’t wait for fans to try RIFC Pale Ale.” Devin Kelly, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at the Guild Brewing Company, adds, “By combining our dedication to brewing excellent craft beer and Rhode Island FC’s commitment to the Rhode Island community, we are excited to share this beer collaboration with the RIFC fan base.”
