From the label

“This beer is a tribute to Lloyd "The Plaid Bull" Yoder and celebrates the 100th anniversary of Carnegie Tech's historic 19-0 upset over Notre Dame in 1926. Lloyd's leadership on the field helped lead Tech to victory and earned him All-American honors, and his leadership in WWII as a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy and later success inspired many.”
