PITTSBURGH (Dec. 21, 2022) — Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC and Quantum Spirits have agreed to a partnership that will bring the local brand’s products to Highmark Stadium for the 2023 season.
Quantum Spirits, headquartered with its distillery in nearby Carnegie, Pa., prides itself on making its spirits from scratch and boasts a wide variety of products, including whiskey, gin and vodka selections to meet all tastes.
As part of the partnership, Quantum will be launching a Riverhounds-branded whiskey and cola canned beverage that will be available both at Highmark Stadium and at the Quantum Spirits distillery. Quantum also will be sponsoring Quantum Spirit Corner Kicks at all Hounds 2023 home matches, when fans will be encouraged to get loud and show their spirit supporting the Hounds.
“We’re leaping into 2023 with an exciting new partnership with our favorite soccer team, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. Teamwork, grit and a passion for our craft are central to both our organizations,” said Quantum Spirits co-founder Ryan Kanto. “Fans should be on the lookout soon for the co-branded, ready-to-drink cocktail and Quantum Spirits Corner Kicks in the new year.”
“From the moment we began talks with Quantum, we realized how passionate they were about the game of soccer and getting in on the action at Highmark Stadium,” said Greg Pai, Riverhounds Director of Corporate Partnership. “From offering fans a special Hounds-branded cocktail to anticipating the roar of the crowd for Quantum Spirit Corner Kicks, we’re excited to welcome them to the Riverhounds family.”
The Riverhounds will begin the 2023 USL Championship season this March and play a 17-game home schedule at Highmark Stadium during the regular season. Home dates and the full schedule are expected to be announced in early January.
