When you turn 125 years old you best do something special. Our friends at Northern Michigan University in Marquette decided to do just that to celebrate this incredible anniversary of Wildcat pride, collaborating with Blackrock Brewery to create a special commemorative beer, Wildcat Gold.

"NMU is thrilled to team up with Marquette's own Blackrocks Brewery to launch Wildcat Gold—a special brew crafted by alumni, for alumni! This exclusive beer is a golden celebration of our rich history, dedicated to the Wildcat spirit that unites us all," says a post on NMU's social media.

We recently had Andy Langlois, David Manson, and Steve Farr from Blackrocks on to talk about this special release. It's a beer that is near and dear to Andy and Steve's hearts, as they are both alumni of NMU. Poor Dave, he can only shout from the sidelines "Go Green, Go White". Dave, no worries, you might not be golden, but you're still a cool Sparty.



Let’s raise a glass together to toast to 125 incredible years of Northern pride. Wildcat Gold will be released August 23, and can only be found at this time at Blackrocks in Marquette, and certain sporting events at Northern. Wildcat Gold may also show up at exclusive alumni events over the next few months, so if you are a Wildcat, make plans to attend.


Shown are NMU Alumni Steve Farr ’09 BS, ’12 MBA, and Andy Langlois ’95 BS from Blackrocks Brewery, thanks for putting this great collab together with NMU.
