Oklahoma State partners up with Iron Monk Brewing to create craft beer, 1890 Original

Sports and beer is a match made in heaven. For the Oklahoma State Cowboys, though? Heaven is apparently found at Iron Monk Brewing Company.

College football insider Brett McMurphy is reporting that the Cowboys and Iron Monk have struck a deal. Like the old-timey deals of the Wild Wild West, this deal involves the local saloon. More specifically, it involves Iron Monk making Okie State a co-branded craft beer featuring the iconic Pistol Pete and the year 1890 — when Oklahoma State was founded.

That's a slick-looking beer can and that's half the battle in today's craft beer scene. You want something that will pop off the shelves and Oklahoma State's black and orange is amongst the best color combinations in college football.

It's not like the beer will need much help being sold in Stillwater, though.
