WHAT:
The Houston Rockets and Houston-based Karbach Brewing Co. will debut a new beer collaboration at a watch party held at Karbach Brewery for the team’s season opener at Minnesota on Wednesday, Oct. 20. Partial proceeds from sales of this new beer will benefit the Rockets Clutch City Foundation.
The name and label artwork for the beer will be revealed at the event with Rocket fans 21-and-older having the opportunity to get a “first taste” of the beverage.

The unveiling and watch party will also feature giveaways, inflatables, autograph sessions with former Rockets Robert Horry and Vernon Maxwell. Clutch the Bear and the Clutch City Dancers will be on site and the Rockets Sonic Boom drumline will perform. The Rockets will also have a pop-up team shop on site with select gear and the Clutch City Foundation will host a silent auction along with other fundraising efforts.
