From the label
“Longsnapper is a West Coast-style IPA brewed in collaboration with Long Snapper Patrick Mannelly, the longest tenured player in Chicago Bears history. We designed a recipe together based on Pat's favorite beer styles, and it will be released for the inaugural "Patrick Mannelly Award" given to the outstanding college long snapper of the year. The beer has ample base and Vienna malt, accented by caramel notes from Carastan and Munich malts. Hopped with a trio of traditional Northwest hops, Columbus, Cascade and Centennial that create a well-balanced, crushable beer.”
