Meet a Yankees legend: Paul O'Neill celebrates beer launch in White Plains

Beer and baseball.

It's a combo beloved by many, which is why Wolf & Warrior owner/brewer Michael Chiltern is excited to relaunch his beer partnership with Yankees legend and YES Network TV analyst Paul O’Neill.

The legendary player, who also happens to be a Westchester resident, will be at the White Plains brewery from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 2, where he'll unveil the freshly brewed batch in collaboration with Chiltern. They'll be joined by sports memorabilia industry leader Brandon Steiner, founder of CollectibleXchange.com and a co-collaborator in this effort.

The beer, an India Pale Ale, appropriately called "Warrior 21," (O'Neill's number was 21) is, according to Chiltern, the first hazy/Northeast-style IPA to be brewed in collaboration with a professional baseball player; the first beer to be brewed in collaboration with a Yankees player; and the first beer of ever to be brewed in collaboration with a World Series champion.

O’Neill will meet and greet with fans in attendance for autographs and photo ops, while joining the Yankees faithful and beer aficionados for a taste of the IPA (which has a 6.5% abv and is fully loaded with aromas and flavors of juicy citrus and sweet stone fruits.)
