As the New England Patriots gear up for the playoffs, a new beer has stirred excitement among fans. Marshfield’s Stellwagen Beer Company launched the “Love the Drake” Lager, inspired by quarterback Drake Maye. According to Mike Snowdale, the brewery’s owner, the release was a hit: “We released some on Monday, and uh, it’s gone. We’re totally sold out at the brewery until Tuesday when we’ll be packaging up another batch of it.”

This lager is deliberately designed for tailgating, featuring a lower alcohol by volume (ABV), which allows fans to enjoy it while they cheer on their team. It has a light, crisp taste with a subtle hint of citrus from the hops. Snowdale noted how the beer pays homage not only to Maye but also to the classic sitcom "Seinfeld," which shows how they merged sports and pop culture.

With the Patriots set to face off against the LA Chargers on Sunday, Snowdale expressed enthusiasm about the beer’s popularity being tied to the team’s momentum. “The excitement around the Patriots is a big factor in how popular the beer is, I think,” he remarked.
