Prancing Pony releases Adelaide 36ers Hall of Fame Pilsner

The Adelaide 36ers in partnership with Prancing Pony has released a limited-edition Adelaide 36ers Hall of Fame Pilsner to recognise the achievements of the Club’s inaugural Hall of Fame inductees. 

The beer recognises the achievements of the three Adelaide 36ers Club legends, with Brett Maher, Phil Smyth, and Mark Davis all featuring on their own can of Prancing Pony Pilsner, in this collectable series.

Prancing Pony CEO and Founder Corinna Steeb is excited to build on the already strong relationship Prancing Pony has with the Adelaide 36ers, "We wanted to create this limited-edition beer to symbolise our partnership with the 36ers."

"It's a celebration of not only our shared values of team spirit, integrity, and community, but of the three inductees Phil, Brett, and Mark into The Hall of Fame, and who wouldn't want a refreshing craft Pilsner on our Pony deck during a 36ers game that keeps you on the edge of your seat," Corinna said.

Phil Smyth is thrilled to be featured alongside Club legends Brett Maher and Mark Davis on the Hall of Fame Pilsner, "It is such an honour to be commemorated in this way and to be recognised alongside Club legends Brett Maher and Mark Davis."

"The cans look fantastic, and of course the Pilsner tastes superb," said Phil.

This limited-edition Hall of Fame Pilsner to celebrate Phil, Mark, and Brett's achievements is a super light, refreshing German pilsner with a twist of cascade hops and a crisp, dry finish.

They are limited edition with only 200 cartons, and each can is individually numbered.

They will make the perfect Christmas present for the Adelaide 36ers fan – the cans will be available at www.prancingponybrewery.com.au
