Aiken Based Brewpub will bring the beer on tap Super Bowl Weekend.

Aiken, South Carolina – January 20, 2008 – After almost eleven years in operation Aiken Brewing Company is celebrating a milestone to which all small, neighborhood craft brewpubs aspire. On Super Bowl Weekend, it will pull its millionth pint! The brewpub, featuring a seven barrel brewery which produced over four hundred thirty-five barrels last year, has brewed Randy’s Grand Cru, a 2003 Great American Beer Festival silver medal winner, to commemorate the occasion. “We would never have been able to do this were it not for the continued, enthusiastic support of our customers over this almost eleven years. They are truly remarkable and validate the idea that a “neighborhood” brewpub not only can survive, but thrive in a small town like Aiken.” stated Jennifer Pruiett, Aiken Brewing Company Owner and General Manager. Additionally, Ms. Pruiett lauded her Brewery Staff, headed by Brew Master Randy Doucet, for their outstanding efforts in meeting the increased demand for the “Pub’s” craft brewed beers. “In the past two years, we’ve had almost a thirty percent increase in craft brewed beer sales, and it’s a true testament to the skill and dedication of our brewery staff that they’ve been able to support us with their customary enthusiasm and high quality.” Added Ms. Pruiett. Aiken Brewing Company will have eight beers on tap for the celebration Super Bowl Weekend including: Thoroughbred Red; Randy’s Grand Cru, flavored with coriander, honey and orange peel; Powder House Porter; West Coast Pale Ale; Jenny Cream Ale; a high gravity “Wee Heavy” Scotch Ale; a Doppelbock; and Honey Wheat.
