Birdsong Brewing Partners with Charlotte Knights for All Knight Long Beer

Birdsong Brewing Co. in Charlotte, North Carolina has partnered with local Minor League Baseball team, the Charlotte Knights, to produce a beer that will be available inside Knights Stadium as well as the Birdsong taproom beginning April 12. This marks the second year in a row that Birdsong has partnered with the Knights. The full release from Birdsong is below:

CHARLOTTE, NC — With home opening day just around the corner, the delicious, punny fun continues this spring for Birdsong Brewing Co. and the Charlotte Knights minor league baseball team.

Birdsong’s All Knight Long is now available in the Birdsong taproom and will  be inside Knights Stadium for home opening day on April 12.

The deepening partnership between Birdsong and the Knights in 2017 was a great success, says Chris Goulet, Birdsong principal owner. The brewery sold more than 60 kegs of All Knight Long inside the park last year.

“Our beer sales were up more than 100 percent in the park,” Goulet says. “And our staff had a blast at the team outing we had at the ballpark.”

This season, baseball fans will have increased chances to spot (and drink) Birdsong at home games.

All Knight Long, a punny tip of the cap to Lionel Ritchie’s 1980s classic song  and the hometown team,  will be available on three taps (up from two) inside the park. The Belgian blonde ale has a 4.5 percent  ABV (alcohol by volume), a nice golden color, dry finish and a slight sweetness. “You can drink it all  night long,” Goulet says. 

Paradise City Session IPA, the brewery’s medium body, crisp IPA  with a 4.8 percent ABV, will be  available in cans and on tap. Higher Ground IPA, Birdsong’s wildly popular West Coast-style IPA, will also be available on tap inside the park for the first time.

And Birdsong’s Jalapeño Pale Ale cans, long a top seller inside the park, will still be available from vendors.

All Knight Long will be available on tap in the Birdsong taproom at 1016 N. Davidson St. and at the BB&T Ballpark at 324 S. Mint St. through the end of the Knights’ season in August
