Introducing Tiger Tail Blonde Ale! The New CC Beer

Megan Clancy ’07

Beer is one of civilization’s oldest drinks. And it’s been the beverage of choice during many great moments in the history of the world and at CC. Even the Block Plan was created by a group of professors over a couple of pints. So, it only makes sense that after 150 years, CC not only celebrates with some beer, but actually get a beer of its own!

In honor of our upcoming anniversary, we have collaborated with Goat Patch Brewing Company to rebrand its popular blonde ale as a CC beer. Tiger Tail Blonde Ale!

This clean, crisp, Lager-like Ale is the perfect drink to toast the past and enjoy some quintessential CC moments. Reunions with fellow Tigers or celebrating a win at home. Grab a glass of Tiger Tail.

“This is such an exciting and fun partnership for Colorado College with a high-quality local business,” says Vice President and Director of CC Athletics Lesley Irvine. “Goat Patch aligns with our own values of commitment to community and a competitive spirit. This helps build community, pride, brand, and loyalty in a highly visible way.”

Goat Patch is a Colorado Springs craft brewery built on a foundation of strong values: balanced brews, community engagement, and adventure. Now with 2018 and 2020 GABF medals, a World Beer Cup medal in 2022, and numerous other recognitions, they are proud to play a part in bringing award- winning craft beer to their community.

“Partnering with Colorado College on this special brew for their 150th anniversary is more than crafting a beer; it’s our way of raising a pint to their legacy,” says Goat Patch co-owner Cate Baze. “This collaboration embodies our shared dedication to innovation, community, and a celebration of tradition. It’s more than just a drink; it’s a flavorful tribute to the vibrant spirit of CC.”

Tiger Tail will be served in CC’s Robson Arena, the FAC, and at many on-campus events (including Homecoming 2024!). It will also be on tap at Goat Patch Brewery as well as many Colorado Springs restaurants and bars. So next time you’re in town, raise a glass to CC’s past, present, and future with a pint of Tiger Tail.

Cheers!
