Blue Moon Signs Chris Robertson as Pro Beer Miler
Chris Robertson may never become a professional runner, but add in chugging a few beers and he's one of the best in the world.
Blue Moon Brewing Company recognizes the growth in popularity of the underground sport, the beer mile, and signed Chris Robertson to a multi-year deal that allows him to train as a professional beer miler.
Chris Robertson has been an advocate for Blue Moon as his beer of choice for the beer mile for several years. He was the first one to compete with Blue Moon on the world stages at the Beer Mile World Classic, and it has led him to two world titles and the second fastest time in the world all-time.
