Falcon Fest Beer Takes Flight: Fairmont State University and Short Story Brewing Partner to Debut New Brew
Fairmont State University is raising a glass to tradition and community with the launch
of its first-ever official beer, Falcon Fest! Local favorite Short Story is behind
the brewing of Falcon Fest. This new partnership celebrates Falcon pride and regional
craftsmanship, bringing a unique taste of Fairmont State to fans and alumni.
Falcon Fest will be available on tap throughout the region and in cans through select retailers. The rollout begins with a series of exciting events throughout the month of December:
- Dec. 12: Falcon Fest served on tap at Festival Cucina, now held at Fairmont State. (sold out)
- Dec. 17, 6 p.m.: Official launch at Short Story Brewing (Rivesville), featuring maroon Short Story swag for sale.
- Dec. 20, 2 p.m.: Cans available at concessions and served in the hospitality room during home basketball games at the Feaster Center.
“Falcon Fest is more than a beer—it’s a symbol of the pride and tradition that define Fairmont State University. This collaboration with Short Story Brewing reflects our commitment to celebrating the spirit of our campus and supporting local businesses that help our region thrive,” said Fairmont State University President Mike Davis. “We’re excited to give our alumni, students who are at least 21 years old, and friends a unique way to raise a glass to everything that makes Fairmont State such a Great Place.”
Falcon Fest is about community, connection, and creating memories that last well beyond the pour. Keep an eye out for Falcon Fest on draft at Short Story Brewing taprooms and other local establishments. Falcon Fest will also be available in cans at Fairmont State events and select retail outlets.
