SHOCK TOP AND AUNTIE ANNE’S MAKE IT OFFICIAL — BEER KNEADS PRETZELS

Fan-favorite brands launch “Beer Kneads Pretzels” campaign with exclusive sweepstakes, promo–code discounts and limited-edition merchandise

Atlanta, GA (September 3, 2025) – Craft beer icon, Shock Top, and beloved hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise, Auntie Anne’s, are teaming up this fall to celebrate one fundamental truth: Beer Kneads Pretzels. A timeless pairing brought to life by exclusive sweepstakes, promotional discounts, limited-edition merchandise and a multi-faceted social media campaign, this collaboration seeks to twist tastebuds and celebrate the good times shared over pretzels and beer. 

 Shock Top’s Twisted Pretzel Wheat is a cult-classic among pretzel enthusiasts and craft beer lovers alike; it’s unmistakable pretzel aroma and smooth wheat finish earned the 14 new craft beer release in 2024*. Auntie Anne’s requires no introduction—the biggest name in the pretzel game, Auntie Anne’s irresistible buttery pretzels have been a mainstay in America’s malls, ballgames and airports since 1988. Now, in 2025, we make official what anyone sitting on a bar stool with a cold beer and a bowl of pretzels knows—they are perfect for one another.
