The Youngstown State football team kicks off its 2021 fall season Thursday evening and a local beer company is celebrating the occasion.

According to the release, Penguin City Brewing Company is releasing a limited-edition label on its Penguin City Light Beer that features YSU mascot Pete the Penguin on it.

Penguin City has released different limited release designs for the YSU football season in the last few years.

"The Pete can was originally going to come out last year, but we decided to hold off for 2021. This is now the second in a series with our collaboration with Youngstown native Jesse Reed, a partner at Order Design in New York City. It's always too great to see how, no matter the distance, people from the Valley will find a way to work together on something that's bigger than them." Michael Pontikos, Brand Manager of Penguin City Beer.

The limited-edition beer cans will be available starting this week throughout the Mahoning Valley and Western Pennsylvania.

It will also be on sale during home football and basketball games during the 2021-2022 season.

YSU kicks off their season Thursday against Incarnate Word at 7 p.m.
