Dodger ace Clayton Kershaw releases new beer

It takes major league skills to hit one of Clayton Kershaw’s wicked curve balls.

But now just in time to celebrate the Los Angeles Dodgers’ eighth consecutive division title, the star pitcher is releasing something anyone can get a hold of: Kershaw’s Wicked Curve, a craft beer that made its debut Sept. 23.

Developed in collaboration with Torrance’s BuzzRock Brewing Co., the grapefruit wheat ale is available in tall cans ($25 for a four-pack) at BuzzRock Brewing Co., at The Brews Hall in Torrance and at Gelson’s grocery stores.

Proceeds from Kershaw’s Wicked Curve will benefit vulnerable and at-risk children through Ellen and Clayton Kershaw’s charity, Kershaw’s Challenge.

“I am so proud of Kershaw’s Wicked Curve and excited that a passion project like this will ultimately help children in need through Kershaw’s Challenge,” Kershaw said in a press release about the beer.

The beer will also be available at Shade Hotels, Rock & Brews and Rock’N Fish restaurants as well as The Strand House and Brewco in Manhattan Beach in early October.
