Historically, beer brands have partnered with professional sports teams. However, the rise of craft distilling has led to more opportunities for distilleries like Woody Creek. The NHL’s Minnesota Wild announced today that Woody Creek is an official partner of the team. The brand will have in-arena signage, game sponsorship, virtual broadcast signage, and social media features. It will even sponsor the Women of the North Power Play Event on February 25.
