Official Launch - Satuday, Oct. 26 at the Miami vs. Central Michigan Football Game and the Miami vs. Lindenwood Hockey Game!
OXFORD, Ohio– Swine City Brewing and Miami University are collaborating on a pair of beverages that will benefit Miami and its student-athletes.
The 1809 Bohemian Pilsner and RedHawk Razz Raspberry Lemonade Hard Seltzer will debut Oct. 26 at Miami athletic venues when Miami football hosts Central Michigan at Yager Stadium and ice hockey hosts Lindenwood at Goggin Ice Center.
"Our partnership with Swine City Brewing has yielded a pair of beverages that will enhance gameday for Miami fans for years to come," said Director of Athletics David Sayler. "We are excited to not only add to our overall fan experience but, most importantly, do so in a way that provides direct support for RedHawk student-athletes in our mission of Graduating Champions."
Geared toward Miami alumni, the beverages will continue to be available at Miami ticketed sporting events, as well as at the Swine City Taproom in Fairfield.
Dan Ebben, owner of Swine City Brewing, described the beverages as a Bohemian-style pilsner and refreshing, crisp raspberry lemonade, respectively.
"The creativity and collaboration pays homage to the university itself, and we've worked to create something that alumni especially will enjoy as they toast the love and honor of their Miami days," Ebben said.
The RedHawk Razz Raspberry Lemonade Hard Seltzer packaging will include a collage of Miami imagery, while the 1809 Bohemian Pilsner will feature the university's iconic Pulley Tower.
Swine City Brewing has connections to Miami beyond this upcoming collaboration. The company has been a concessions provider for university sporting events since 2023, and co-owner Claire von Saucken '92 attended Miami and majored in Political Science.

As a proud partner of Miami Athletics, Swine City Brewing has continued to enhance the gameday experience for RedHawk fans in Oxford over the past several years. In an agreement secured by Van Wagner Sports and Entertainment, Swine City's partnership has led to the creation of the Swine City Beer Garden in the south end of Yager Stadium in 2023, followed by the addition of the courtside Swine City Baseline Terrace for basketball games at Millett Hall later that year.
The introduction of the 1809 Bohemian Pilsner and the RedHawk Razz Raspberry Lemonade Hard Seltzer will build on Swine City Brewing's legacy of financially supporting Miami student-athletes and Miami Athletics as a whole.
A Miami Merger with Sylvius von Saucken '91, Claire von Saucken has many fond memories of Miami – including time spent at football and hockey games.
"If I was at Miami, I went to the hockey game," Claire von Saucken said.
"My husband and I, being a Miami Merger, are particularly thrilled for this opportunity. I could not be happier. When I found out this was a possibility, I said, 'We need to do this.'"
Swine City Brewing initially began selling seltzers at Oxford's Farmers Market.
"We like the relationships we've developed with not only the university but with the surrounding communities," Ebben said. "The Farmers Market showed us what the university is about. It really brings a lot of people together."
A portion of sales from the two beverages will benefit Miami students through scholarships, as well through student-athlete support and initiatives centered on the responsible use of alcohol.
The goal and focus of alcohol education at Miami is to prepare students to make legal, low-risk choices about drinking during college and in the future.
