SAN ANTONIO – JANUARY 8, 2019 – The Alliance of American Football’s San Antonio Commanders have announced a partnership with San Antonio-based Alamo Beer Company.

The partnership, which is the first between an Alliance of American Football team and a brewery, includes the production of two seasonal craft beers that will carry the Commanders’ name. Alamo Beer will brew, serve and distribute a Commanders Light and Commanders Amber during the first quarter of 2019.

The two Commanders branded beers will be unveiled to the public for the first time on Thursday, January 10 at an event at Alamo Beer Company. The event, which begins at 7 p.m., will include appearances by Commanders’ general manager Daryl Johnston, head coach Mike Riley and several Commanders players.

“When the opportunity to work with the Commanders presented itself, it was an obvious choice; what pairs better than beer and football?” said Eugene Simor, Founder and President of Alamo Beer Company. “Alamo at its core is local. We jump at the chance to support organizations that share our fierce independent spirit. So, collaborating with a new team to ignite excitement about football in San Antonio – we’re in.”

“As we prepare for our inaugural season, we are thrilled to develop a partnership with a local brewery such as Alamo Beer Company,” said Commanders’ Team President Vic Gregovits. “This partnership allows us to align with a staple of San Antonio.

“The development of the two co-branded beers provides a unique tool that lets San Antonio know the Commanders have arrived and are eager to become part of the fabric of the Alamo City community.”
