Prickly Playmaker Is Back—Just in Time for Summer Match Days!
Our fan-favorite collaboration beer is officially back! We’re thrilled to announce the return of Prickly Playmaker, a crisp and vibrant prickly pear wheat ale crafted in collaboration with New Mexico United and brewed to celebrate all things community, creativity, and soccer.
With its unmistakable pink hue and light, fruity profile, Prickly Playmaker is the perfect match-day beer—whether you’re pre-gaming a home match or posted up at one of our official away match watch parties. It’s light enough to beat the heat and flavorful enough to keep you coming back for another pint (or six-pack).
