Over the last few years, a number of fast food chains have gone out of their way to find products, other than their food, to sell to customers. Collaborating with other brands, some of these chains have offered things such as clothing, household items and of course, alcohol. Now, yet another fast food chain has joined the movement, as Long John Silver’s recently announced they have teamed up with a brewery to create their new “Swashbockler” beer.
Long John Silver’s may be known for fish, but now they are adding something unexpected to their repertoire; beer. The fast food chain recently announced they have teamed up with Louisiana’s Shippingport Brewing Co. for their new 6.5% ABV “Swashbockler” beer. According to Bro Bible, the beer was released during lent as a nod to the Bavarian monks who consumed bock beer while fasting in the lead up to Easter.
The new beer was even brewed with one of the fast food chain’s signature ingredients, malt vinegar. Many Long John Silver fans are excited to give the new beer a try. Hopefully they won’t need any tartar sauce to put it down.
