We have a proven track record and incredible community partners like the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, the AHL Springfield Thunderbirds, and MGM Springfield to name a few. I remember when Marcus electrified the region, just thinking about it brings back so many great memories.  He loves our brand and what it represents; we are very excited and think we have a game winner.” said White Lion Brewing Company President Ray Berry.

This is my home, and to be able to have a quality beer named after me, and be able to tell its story, is something I’m truly excited about!”
