Cisco, New England Patriots Team Up For Gameday Beer: MA Cheap Eats

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The New England Patriots are starting the year with a new head coach, a new quarterback of the future and a new collaborative beer with beloved Massachusetts company Cisco Brewers.

Cisco and the Patriots have teamed up again for a version of the Forever New England Gameday IPA, featuring a new look and taste for the 2024-25 NFL season.

The American IPA is set to debut this month with citrus and tropical notes, with an ABV at 6 percent.

Brewed with Chinook, Cascade, El Dorado and Satrata hops, the IPA offers "a perfect balance of hops that embodies the spirit of New England," company officials said.

The new can features a lighthouse among ocean waves, paying homage to both Cisco's Nantucket home and the iconic Gillette Stadium lighthouse.

“At Cisco, we’ve always been a brewery that has brought people together for a good time,” said Matt O’Neill, Northeast Regional Sales Director for Cisco Brewers. “We’re pumped to continue that tradition by uniting New Englanders over the two things we all love—the Patriots and good craft beer—this year, as an official sponsor of our favorite team.”

Forever New England will be available at Gillette Stadium, including the field-level Bud Light Celebration Beer Hall that debuted last season, and throughout New England during the 2024-25 season.

The craft IPA will also be prominently featured at the four Cisco Brewers pubs throughout New England—the original Cisco Brewers in Nantucket, plus Boston, New Bedford, Mass. and Portsmouth, N.H.

The collaboration brew is also currently available on draught and on shelves in both 16 oz. can 4-packs and 12 oz. can 12-packs throughout New England.

The Patriots and Anheuser-Busch have a longstanding partnership, which allows Cisco to collaborate with their hometown team after joining the company's collective of craft brewery partners in 2020.
