10 Barrel Brewing Co. Announces Official Beer Sponsorship of the Natural Selection Tour

BEND, Ore., Feb. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 10 Barrel Brewing Co. (“10 Barrel Brewing Co.” or “10 Barrel”), a trailblazer in the craft brewing industry and subsidiary of Tilray Brands, (“Tilray”) (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), is proud to announce a partnership with the Natural Selection Tour, the premier all-mountain snowboarding competition founded by snowboarding legend Travis Rice. As the Official Beer of the Natural Selection Tour, Pub Beer by 10 Barrel Brewing Co. is set to enhance the après snowboarding experience for athletes and fans alike, embodying the tour's spirit of adventure and innovation.

Coming from Bend, Oregon, 10 Barrel is known for its ethos of “Drink Beer Outside,” and for innovating award-winning brews that defy convention. Once a radical concept for the craft beer brand, Pub Beer reinvented norms with an easy-drinking, economical lager that quickly became a mainstay.

The brainchild of snowboarding icon, Travis Rice, Natural Selection Tour has risen to the pinnacle of snowboarding since its first event in 2008, changing the way the world views competitive riding. Its unprecedented contest format features the world’s most daring freeride athletes taking on natural and naturally enhanced obstacles in wildly dynamic terrain.

Among the riders, Pub Beer also backs veteran competitor, Ben Ferguson, a man who’s led the charge in progressive snowboarding for years. From athletes to media outlets, and now to its biggest backcountry event, Pub Beer’s supportive role in the community has become integral to the core culture of snowboarding.

"We're thrilled to introduce Pub Beer as the Official Après Beer of Natural Selection Tour," said 10 Barrel Brewing Marketing Director, Brian Hughes. "Our attitude at 10 Barrel is simple – Brew Beer. Drink Beer. Have fun doing it. This collaboration with Natural Selection Tour allows us to bring that vision to the world of backcountry snowboarding, amplifying the après snowboarding experience and celebrating the spirit of adventure."

As an optimistic renegade in the craft beer space, Pub Beer’s trailblazing spirit compliments Natural Selection Tour, challenging conventions and redefining expectations for an end-product in a league of its own. By locking arms with the most progressive competition in action sports, Pub Beer aims to help carry the torch of competitive snowboarding and its community into the brightest future possible.
