STATE Grill and Bar and Torch & Crown Brewing Company announce a new collaboration pilsner named Sky Boy. Refreshing, light and crisp, it’s the ideal beer for summer in the city. Brewed locally in New York City and lagered for over 100 days, Sky Boy features an Art Deco-inspired illustration of the iconic Empire State Building, nodding to the city’s nostalgia, skyline, and energy. It will be exclusively available at STATE Grill ongoing, with a two-week launch from July 1-14 for sale retail at torchandcrown.com.

Sky Boy was created by Torch & Crown brewmaster and co-founder Joe Correia to pair perfectly with food or stand alone. With a crisp, cracker-y malt flavor profile, it has a clean, doughy aroma with a light punch of fragrant hops to round it out. Featuring a clear, golden and straw-like appearance, the finish is full, refreshing, and bright. At only 4.9% alc., it has the provenance of a craft beer while remaining crushable.

STATE Grill, the flagship restaurant of the Empire State Building, has long championed local farms and purveyors. With a popular weekday happy hour and dinner service, Chef Morgan Jarrett caters to locals, building tenants and tourists, truly a “city within a city.”  With Sky Boy, guests can experience a true taste of the city with an exceptional beer offering a crowd-pleasing palate. Sky Boy will retail for $15 per can.

“As Manhattan’s Brewery, we are excited about creating an exclusive beer for one of the most iconic buildings in the New York City skyline.The Empire State Building is bold, iconic, and timeless so we’ve created a beer, and label, to match that character. We’re delighted to play a role in bringing Sky Boy to life for the patrons of The Empire State Building,” said John Dantzler, CEO and Co-Founder at Torch & Crown.
