*Macon, GA – Piedmont Brewery and Kitchen is partnering with the Otis Redding Foundation again to bring a special Otis Redding Birthday Beer. This new beer hit the taps at Piedmont on Thursday, September 8.
Smooth and easy, just like Otis on stage, Mr. Pitiful’s Pilsner is a responsible 4.8% ABV and is dry and crisp. Expect flavors and aromas of green melon and lemon zest. The first beer, “Hard 2 Handle,” was launched on February 10, 2022.
The Otis Redding Foundation was on-hand with Big O merch, including Mr. Pitiful’s Pilsner commemorative t-shirts, stickers and glassware. Fresh Produce Records will be set up and spinning Otis records during the evening.
A large portion of the proceeds from this collaboration will be donated to The Otis Redding Foundation to help the legacy of Mr. Redding live on through music education.
