    Florida International University launches beer with a purpose
    FIU Sunblazer Golden Ale debuted at South Beach Wine & Food Festival in February.

    What better way to battle the Miami heat than an FIU Sunblazer Golden Ale?

    Crafted by Miami’s Beat Culture brewery, the beer with a name that harks back to FIU’s first mascot – the Sunblazer.

    “This is a beer for anyone who believes in seizing opportunity and hustling hard to make it happen,” said Alan Espino, FIU alumnus and co-founder of Beat Culture. “FIU plays a huge role in Miami’s culture and economic development, and this ale is now part of that story.”

    A portion of the proceeds will benefit FIU.

    “Partnering with Beat Culture was an easy decision,” said FIU assistant vice president Eduardo Merille, a beer enthusiast who worked with the Beat Culture team to bring FIU Sunblazer Golden Ale to fruition. “Both FIU and Beat Culture are passionate, innovative and very Miami.”

    Golden in color with pillowy foam and aroma of light grain with a citrus note from the herbal hops, FIU Sunblazer Golden Ale is perfect alone or paired with a meal. It will be available at Vicky Café and Chili’s locations at FIU’s West Miami-Dade campus, as well as FIU baseball, basketball and football home games, and Beat Culture, 7250 NW 11 St. in Miami. Additional locations will be selling FIU Sunblazer Golden Ale in the coming weeks.
