CREEM's iconic fictional beer is finally the real deal

Rock 'n' roll in a can

For decades, CREEM Magazine's iconic Boy Howdy! beer can was one of rock 'n' roll's most famous props. The only problem? The beer wasn't real. Until now. 

Brewed in collaboration with CREEM, Boy Howdy! is an American cream ale that features the satisfying smoothness of select corn brightened by the zesty vibrancy of Michigan-grown hops, a nod to the magazine’s Detroit roots. Boasting notes of bright citrus and a touch of soulful herb, this true American original is the perfect back beat for any rock ‘n roll adventure! 

Available in DE, MD, NJ, PA and TX
