In time for the 2024 football kickoff, Fresno State fans can enjoy a beer made just for them.

Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Company has introduced Red Wave Light Lager. The new brew is available at its downtown beer garden, Valley Children’s Stadium, Save Mart,  Total Wine, and independent stores.

Tioga-Sequoia president Michael Cruz said he is partnering with Fresno State. The beer has been three years in the making.

“It’s been a dream of mine to do a beer with my alma mater. And so I’m super excited to be able to share this with everyone. It’s a super drinkable beer. It’s meant to be the perfect tailgate beer for our hot summers,” said Cruz, a 2009 graduate of Fresno State.

This is Tioga-Sequoia’s first Fresno State partnership.

“Fresno State is the most iconic brand in the Valley, and we feel like we’re one of the most iconic breweries. So it’s a match made in heaven,” Cruz said.

A Beer for the Masses

The red can features the familiar eyes of Fresno State’s bulldog mascot.

The beer is a light lager, 4% alcohol by volume.

“It’s meant to be drinkable for everyone. It’s not an aggressive beer. I know we’re known as a craft brewery, but this is more of a beer for everyone,” Cruz said.

Tioga-Sequoia plans ads at the stadium, as well as big displays within Save Mart.
