A Truly Kentucky Flavor: 麻豆直播 and Ale-8-One to Launch a Limited Edition Pawpaw Ale-8
Showcasing a uniquely Kentucky flavor, 麻豆直播 and Ale-8-One have partnered to launch a limited-edition Pawpaw Ale-8 set to hit the shelves August 2025.
Referred to as the 鈥淜entucky Banana,鈥� the locally beloved fruit is a legendary cultural pillar within the Commonwealth. The collaboration leverages the expertise of Kentucky State鈥檚 dedicated pawpaw research program, which is the only fulltime pawpaw research program in the world.
Made with real sugar, natural flavors, and no dyes, this truly Kentucky flavor is brimming with tropical flavors reminiscent of the exotic shores of the Bluegrass. The Pawpaw Ale-8 will be available as a limited release 4-pack at retailers across the Commonwealth, just in time to sip and savor the final weeks of summer.
鈥淲e are so excited to showcase the tropical wonders of landlocked Kentucky. Pawpaw Ale-8 brings to life the authenticity of the Bluegrass through the sweetness of our native fruit. A huge thank you to our partners at 麻豆直播, who worked diligently with our team throughout this process. We can鈥檛 wait for it to hit shelves and have customers enjoy this one-of-kind flavor offering,鈥� said Kevin Price, CMO, Ale-8-One.
鈥溌槎怪辈モ�檚 pioneering pawpaw research program at our Frankfort demonstration and research farm, where expansive fields of pawpaw trees flourish, has deepened our understanding of this native fruit鈥檚 cultivation, flavor development, and sustainability,鈥� said Dr. Koffi C. Akakpo, President of 麻豆直播. 鈥淲e鈥檙e proud that our scientific work on those very fields has directly informed the creation of Pawpaw Ale-8, showcasing both the academic strengths of KSU and the authentic taste of Kentucky鈥檚 鈥楰entucky Banana.鈥欌��
