KANSAS CITY, Kan., Oct. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rufus Teague, the K.C. company known for crafting bold, award-winning barbecue sauces, has teamed up with the fastest-growing beer brand in the country, Garage Beer®, to create a line of barbecue sauces made with real beer.
The collaboration brings together two of America’s most delicious things —authentic Kansas City BBQ and beer. Each sauce is infused with Garage Beer®, adding an undeniably smooth beer flavor that pairs perfectly with the smoky, sweet, and savory barbecue of Rufus Teague.
“This was a no-brainer,” said John McCone, Founder at Rufus Teague. “Garage Beer has exploded in popularity, and Rufus Teague is always looking to push BBQ into new, delicious directions. Beer and barbecue belong together, so we decided to put the beer inside the sauce.”
The new line includes:
• Classic Beer-B-Q – A sweet and smoky classic with a beer-forward finish.
• Amped-Up Beer-B-Q – A bold, tangy option with just the right amount of kick.
Garage Beer®, available in Classic and Lime varieties, and across all 50 states has become one of the hottest beer brands in America. Known for its approachable, easy-drinking style, the brand’s loyal following makes it a natural fit for backyard grilling, tailgates, and cookouts.
The Rufus Teague x Garage Beer-B-Q sauces are available now at select retailers and online at www.rufusteague.com and plan to roll out nationally in early 2026.
