On February 12th, tens of millions of people across the United States and beyond will set aside their Sunday night to watch two as-of-yet undetermined teams face off for the right to raise the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LVII.
The majority of people tuning into The Big Game will attend some sort of gathering that will likely feature a massive spread of gameday staples and ample amounts of beer to wash them down with—but it’s hard to think of a more appropriate brew for the occasion than a new release stemming from a fairly unexpected partnership.
Beer has always been a fairly versatile ingredient in the kitchen. There’s no easier way to take chili to the next level than supplementing the stock with a stout, and if you’re on the hunt for the ideal dip for a soft pretzel, using lager as the liquid in a cheese sauce tends to be the recipe for an incredibly formidable concoction.
There are also plenty of breweries that have drawn inspiration from some of the foods you’ll find at a typical Super Bowl party (like a sour beer made with buffalo sauce that was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world in 2020).
Now, Modist Brewing in Minneapolis is getting in on the action after teaming up with the folks at Hormel to whip up a limited run of Chili Cheese Brew, which is the end result of a very fairly unique approach that involved using powdered cheese and a variety of traditional chili spices during the production process.

The new beer officially went on sale on Tuesday; if you’re in the vicinity of the Twin Cities, you can snag some at the Modist taproom, but they’ll also be shipping it out to fans to select states in time for the Super Bowl.
