"We are constantly looking to expand our menu for our customers," states Phil McCann, Vice President of Marketing. "We are thrilled to collaborate with another Coney Island staple, Coney Island Brewing Company, and know our customers will enjoy this beer alongside our Nathan's Famous fan favorites. There's no better combination than a hot dog and beer, and now you can get them both at Nathan's Famous."

The collaboration between Nathan's Famous and Coney Island Brewery Brewing Company will donate* $1 from every pint, can or 4-pk of Nathan’s Famous Lager beer sold to the Alliance for Coney Island, an organization advocating for the growth of local businesses in the community.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Nathan’s Famous on our new ‘Heart of Coney Island’ beer series highlighting our unique community through a series of collaborations with local partners who share in our love for Coney Island and embody the spirit of our iconic neighborhood,” says Coney Island Brewery Brand Manager Chris Murray.

“Hot dogs and beer are synonymous with Coney Island, so, naturally, we teamed up to brew the perfect beer to enjoy with a hot dog! At 5% ABV, it is a nod to the original 5 cent hot dogs served from Nathan’s in Coney Island. Nathan’s Famous Lager has a beautiful golden color balanced with a nice floral hop flavor with a clean finish, allowing you to refresh your palate with every sip making every bite as delicious as the first!”

The Nathan’s Famous Lager is available for purchase at the Nathan's flagship Coney Island location, the Coney Island Boardwalk and Oceanside locations and Coney Island Brewery for a limited-time.
