— Golden, Crisp, Refreshing —
Anyone who knows VBC knows that we're all in when it comes to supporting our local alma mater. This golden, crisp, and refreshing Kölsch-style "Golden Ale" is the officially licensed beer of William & Mary, in support of W&M Athletics and its fans the world over!
We want beer lovers and fans of William & Mary Athletics to enjoy this release for the novelty…but ultimately to grab one because it’s a good, drinkable beer with wide appeal. Whether you’re cheering at Zable, watching the game on TV, or raising a round together at Homecoming, we hope that Griffin Gold will be part of your celebration.
As an officially licensed product, William & Mary will earn a royalty for every pint & 4-pack of Griffin Gold sold, which supports the financial goals associated with the university’s Vision, Mission and Values. Near or far, join us in raising a round of Griffin Gold to a university loved of old...now and evermore.
Hark Upon the Ale!
