HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Prohibition Brewing Company's (SoPro) Southern Skies has been announced as the official beer of Southern Miss Athletics.
"It has been great to work with the Southern Miss Athletics Department and pour both our passions into this new beer," said SoPro's head brewer Ben Green. "We have created the perfect gameday companion for our Southern Miss fans and family."
The new Southern Skies Premium Lager is a flavorful, yet crushable lager made with premium ingredients and attention to detail. An addition of flaked maize accentuates a crisp classic flavor ready for an occasion and carries a 4.5% ABV .
The lager will be available in the marketplace throughout the Pine Belt and will be sold at Southern Miss athletic events. The design bears a visible homage to the Hattiesburg campus and its rich traditions. The design features an iconic Pine Belt sunset that that is intertwined with an image of the Lofty Return statue and the dome from the Aubrey K. Lucas Administration Building. Stadium lighting from M.M. Roberts Stadium also appears on the can along with verbiage from the Southern Miss Alma Mater.
SoPro began as a manufacturing only brewery in 2013 as Quinby Chunn, an educated brewer, started the employee-owned business in Hattiesburg. In 2016, the brewery officially opened its doors to on-site sales in their Hattiesburg taproom. Five years later, the brewery started on-site sales of wine, liquor and food, which opened the door to growing the bar and restaurant side of the company.
"We are excited to continue our partnership with Southern Prohibition Brewing and introduce our latest creation, Southern Skies," said Deputy Athletic Director and Chief Revenue Officer Spencer Bridges. "This new beer and its striking can design perfectly capture the pride and passion that unite all Golden Eagles fans. We can't wait for fans to enjoy it at home, at sporting events, and throughout Southern Mississippi."
Head brewer Ben Green has now released the co-branded beer with Southern Miss after the two launched Gold Rush in 2021. Green is deeply invested from the creative process developing recipes, naming beers, and directing can artwork. The Southern Skies can was designed by Ross White, Southern Miss' assistant director of creative media.
