Unveil Machine No. 7: Gridiron Whiskey

New Product Commemorates Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LIV Championship

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Feb. 19, 2020) - Tom’s Town Distilling Co. is thrilled to announce the launch of its

latest limited-edition product in collaboration with Lagunitas Brewing Co. of Northern California, the

Machine No. 7: Gridiron Whiskey. This special whiskey salutes the two LIV Super Bowl teams, the world

champion Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Gridiron Whiskey is the newest addition to

the distillery’s Machine Series, created to showcase its distillers’ creativity and ingenuity with daring

one-off spirits.

With tasting notes of molasses, clove, cherry, and oatmeal cookie, Gridiron Whiskey starts out as a

pre-hopped Lagunitas Sucks beer. This is a retired, beloved brand from the brewer known as a cereal

medley of barley, rye, wheat and oats. Tom’s Town fermented and distilled the wort (a sweet infusion of

ground malt and grain before fermentation), then carefully aged it in white American oak barrels for two

years. Tom’s Town produced only 500 375ml bottles at 90 proof.

Tom’s Town co-founder David Epstein, developed the collaboration with long-time friend Maria Stipp,

CEO of Lagunitas Brewing Company. “Maria and I have been working on this collaboration for a long

time,” said Epstein. “When our two hometown NFL teams both made it to the Super Bowl, we knew we

had the perfect spirit to celebrate! And of course, the best team won!”

A release party to celebrate Gridiron Whiskey’s launch is planned for Thursday, March 5th from 5:30 –

7:30 p.m. at the distillery’s Crossroads location. Tickets to the event include a bottle and can be

purchased here . The remaining bottles not sold at the launch party will be for sale exclusively at Tom’s

Town for $20. The series is expected to sell out within days like previous Machine Series spirits.
