Athletic Brewing Company Releases Limited Edition Beer in Collaboration with JUSTIN’S® Nut Butter to Celebrate Earth Day

April 6, 2022

Peanut butter porter-style brew, Nature Nut, launches in April

Stratford, CT & San Diego, CA (April 6, 2022)/OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Athletic Brewing, the leading non-alcoholic craft brewer and recently named as one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies in 2022, is once again releasing a limited edition peanut butter porter-style brew in collaboration with Justin’s, called Nature Nut, this April as part of their Trail Mix Pack ahead of Earth Day.

“Leading up to Earth Day, we want to inspire all adventurers to get outside and toast to our beautiful outdoor playground,” said Athletic Brewing CEO, Bill Shufelt. “This collaboration with Justin’s is the perfect mix of fun and the nut butter flavor we all love. We’re excited to partner with Justin’s for this second annual Nature Nut brew to celebrate our shared love of mother nature.”

Launching April 6, the limited-edition Trail Mix Pack fit for adventurers will include four 6-packs of Athletic Brewing (Run Wild IPA, Upside Dawn Golden Ale, Athletic Lite and Nature Nut) and two Justin’s Nut Butter Squeeze Packs, perfect for trail snacking.

Due to the complicated brewing process, the teams used peanut butter powder instead of actual Justin’s peanut butter, but the nutty spirit was encapsulated. Nature Nut is brewed with organic malt and peanut flour, cacao nibs, vanilla extract, hops, malted barley, oats and yeast. A 12-oz can contains 120 calories, 23g carbs and 2.4g protein. This American Porter’s roast and chocolate notes perfectly complements the nutty flavors.

“We’re thrilled to team up with Athletic Brewing to bring back Nature Nut to share with our fellow nature lovers who are looking for great tasting beer without compromise,” said Penny Andino, VP of Marketing for Justin’s. “Because we’re one of Mother Nature’s biggest fans, we’re also delighted that purchases of the Trail Mix Pack support conservation work in Justin’s home state.”

Athletic Brewing is committed to protecting everyone’s outdoor playground, which is why they are donating 2% of proceeds to Colorado-based organization, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, helping to preserve one of America’s favorite national parks, right in Justin’s backyard.

The Trail Mix Pack including Nature Nut will be available beginning April 6th exclusively on AthleticBrewing.com until supplies last.
