Rink Ice From Tampa Bay Lightning’s Amalie Arena Used In Limited-Edition Beer
If watching the Tampa Bay Lightning win the Stanley Cup last night (for the second year in a row!) wasn’t enough for you, here’s a way to get even closer to the team.
Coors Light, the official beer of the team, gathered shavings of ice from the rink at Amalie Area during the Stanley Cup Final and will now use that ice to brew “Champions Ice,” a limited-edition beer. It will be available on tap in bars around the Tampa area starting on Monday, the day of the Lightning’s boat parade.

I just think this is the coolest idea! @CoorsLight has made a beer, "Champions Ice", made from actual ice taken from the rink in @AmalieArena. Here's where you can get your @TBLightning Champions Ice! @10TampaBay #GoBolts pic.twitter.com/Nw4I8hkJ0m

Chris Steele, Marketing Director for Coors Light, told ESPN, “We thought it’d be awesome to celebrate with the people in Tampa by creating a special batch of Coors Light for them to enjoy, created from the ice where the Lightning put all of their blood, sweat and tears into winning the championship.”
