Athletic Brewing and Graza Team Up to Launch Cold Off The Press Olive Oil Pilsner
Athletic Brewing and Graza team up to launch Cold Off The Press, a new non-alcoholic pilsner crafted with extra virgin olive oil. Athletic Brewing Company, America’s largest dedicated non-alcoholic brewer, and Graza, the olive oil brand, today announced the launch of Cold Off The Press, a limited-time non-alcoholic collaboration brew made with Graza Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Crafted with Graza, Cold Off The Press is bright, smooth, and refreshingly unexpected. It will be available in 6-packs of 12-oz. cans at www.athleticbrewing.com beginning September 23, while supplies last.
Athletic Brewing and Graza Collaboration – Cold Off the Press
Athletic Brewing Company and Graza have teamed to launch “Cold Off The Press,” a limited-time non-alcoholic collaboration brew made with Graza Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Adding extra virgin olive oil during the brewing process doesn’t make it olive oil-flavored, but it does help nourish the yeast behind the scenes. The result is a classic pils with floral, herbal and and lemon aromas.
A classic pils with floral, herbal, and lemon aromas and a remarkably clean, dry finish, the brewing process for Cold Off The Press began with extra virgin olive oil, which nourishes the yeast that helps shape the brew.
“We love collaborations that push us outside the traditional boundaries of brewing,” said John Walker, Co-Founder and COO of Athletic Brewing Company. “The folks at Graza share our passion for great flavor and questioning how familiar products are supposed to look, taste, and feel. There was a natural creative chemistry between our teams, and Cold Off The Press gave us a chance to bring that shared curiosity into the brewhouse, challenge ourselves to think differently, and create something entirely new. We’re always willing to chase an idea that sounds a little wild if we believe it can lead somewhere delicious, and this one absolutely did.”
The collaboration brings together two brands known for reimagining everyday staples. Athletic Brewing has helped redefine expectations for non-alcoholic beer. At the same time, Graza has made top-notch, super-fresh olive oil more accessible, approachable, and fun to use through products built for everything from drizzling to sizzling.
Offers a Bright Balanced Flavor
While extra virgin olive oil is a staple in the brewing process, Cold Off The Press was never intended to taste like olive oil itself. Instead, Athletic’s brewing team experimented with incorporating Graza Extra Virgin Olive Oil into the brew while developing a bright, balanced flavor profile that complements food without overpowering it.
“We’re constantly looking for creative ways to show how versatile olive oil can be, and we loved the idea of taking it somewhere completely new,” said Andrew Benin, CEO and Co-Founder of Graza. “Athletic brings the same energy, curiosity, and attention to ingredients and flavor that we do. Cold Off The Press is super drinkable and one of the more deliciously adventurous places we’ve taken olive oil.”
The name Cold Off The Press is a playful nod to both brands, pairing the cold-pressing of olives with a crisp, refreshing brew. The result is a grove-to-glass mashup made for serving alongside good food and great company. Equally at home at the dinner table or alongside a game day spread, Cold Off The Press pairs especially well with pizza, grilled vegetables, salty snacks, big sandwiches, charcuterie, and whatever else happens to be on the menu.
