Reigning Canadian Premier League (CPL) champions Atlético Ottawa and award-winning local brewery Flora Hall Brewing have today launched a collaborative beer, the Campeones Spanish Lager.
“Atlético Ottawa has a championship-winning product on the pitch, and now we have a champion-worthy product in the taproom,” said Ron Palaczka, Chief Strategy Officer, Atlético Ottawa. “Our partnership with Flora Hall Brewing goes beyond this refreshing/crushable collaboration; it’s about bringing together two of Ottawa’s great local businesses and providing products you keep coming back for.”
“Celebrating Atlético Ottawa’s title-winning season, with a nod to the club’s Spanish roots and our own award-winning beers, felt like the perfect way to mark our partnership,” said Dave Longbottom, Owner, Flora Hall Brewing. “Local businesses have worked hard to earn consumer support, and in Atlético we have another Ottawa institution seeking to deepen its roots and help build our community. Soon Atlético supporters will find the Campeones Spanish Lager on tap around the city in the many great gathering spots that share our passion for the beautiful game. Supporting local is more than a slogan - it materially contributes to an ever more vibrant city.”
The beer was launched at Flora Hall Brewery on Wednesday, August 19, during an event in support of the CHEO Foundation, with over 100 Atlético Ottawa fans present. Described as a Spanish-style lager that delivers a refreshing, sessionable profile, the Campeones (Champions) Spanish Lager celebrates two award-winning local businesses.
Atlético Ottawa were crowned CPL champions in 2025 after reaching their second CPL Final at TD Place in three years, while Flora Hall Brewing’s beer - under the guidance of Founding Head Brewer Rod Hughes - continues to win accolades at competitions on the national and international stage.
Palaczka added: “We’re excited to see our partners embrace the opportunity to tap into our passionate community and give our supporters new gathering spaces around the city where they can support local and toast their team.”
The Campeones Spanish Lager celebrates Atlético Ottawa’s 2025 title-winning season and the club’s Spanish roots, brewed by one of Ottawa’s most respected locally owned microbreweries.
