Murray State Athletics Partners with Country Boy Brewing to Launch “Murray State of Mind” American Wheat Ale for Racer Fans

Murray State Athletics has partnered with Country Boy Brewing, a Kentucky craft beer maker, to release a new brew inspired by Racer pride. The beer, “Murray State of Mind,” was brewed with fans in mind to be consumed at games, tailgates and celebrations. The collaboration is a new branding initiative for the university and also provides a new vehicle for fans to show their support for Racer Athletics.

A press release from Country Boy Brewing announced that Murray State of Mind cans and draft will launch market-wide beginning Monday, March 23 just in time for the Racers Baseball to take on the University of Kentucky in Lexington. Racer Nation is invited to the official launch event at Tap 216 on Tuesday, March 24, starting at 5 p.m. to try the new brew. 

Brewed with malted wheat and a touch of Bravo hops, this brew finishes crisp and clean, inviting you back for another sip. Light and refreshing, Murray State of Mind will fit perfectly into the cooler of every fan that bleeds navy and gold.

“The launch of the Murray State of Mind is another great brand initiative for our department and University, and will allow us to further expand into more regional markets thanks to this incredible partnership with Country Boy Brewing,” Murray State Director of Athletics Nico Yantko said. “We are excited to give our fans the opportunity to celebrate Racer Nation with this new offering.”

“We are so lucky to find a partner in Murray State that appreciates a great crafted beer,” says Daniel “DH” Harrison, Co-Owner and Founder of Country Boy Brewing. “We have a couple Murray alums on our team and cannot wait to cheer on the Racers with the first batch of Murray State of Mind.”
