New Realm Brewing Co. will create a series of custom Old Dominion University-branded beers this fall as part of a multi-year partnership, the university announced Friday.
The partnership designates New Realm Brewing as the university’s official craft beer partner. The first ODU-branded beer, ODU Golden Ale, will be available starting Monday at various stores around Hampton Roads. The beer has a “light, citrusy and piney hop aroma,” according to a news release.
“This collaboration not only enhances our brand, but also showcases the strong ties between academia and the local business community,” said Brian Eubank, the executive director of licensing at ODU.
New Realm Brewing, founded in 2016, has a location in Virginia Beach and is set to open another in northern Suffolk next spring.
“We have enjoyed the support of the Old Dominion community since opening and we are looking forward to being on campus and becoming a part of Monarch history, said Carey Falcone, New Realm co-founder and CEO.
