The Brew Kettle will release the bottled version of its new beer celebrating the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Championship starting at 11:30 a.m. Nov. 16 at its locations in Strongsville and Amherst.
Only 216 bottles of All For One Triple IPA -- a reference to Cleveland's 216 area code -- will be available.
The beer, which comes in a 33.8-ounce bottle, features a commemorative Cavs Championship label and is packaged in a special box. It is more than 12 percent alcohol by volume and will retail for $25.
“It’s big and bold, but not for the faint of heart,” head brewer Jack Kephart said in a news release.
The brewery had announced the beer last month and a draft version was available during Cleveland Beer Week. But these are the first details and images released of the bottled version.
This isn't the first Brew Kettle-Cavaliers collaboration. Or even the first All For One. The brewery has made All For One Session IPA for a couple of years.
The name stems from the Cavs’ slogan “All For One, One For All” and the session label features the team’s wine and gold colors. The session version is 4.75 percent alcohol by volume.

Cavaliers and The Brew Kettle Team Up On Limited Release of All For One Triple India Pale Ale to Commemorate Cavs 2016 NBA Championship
2016 NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers and local micro-brewery, The Brew Kettle, have collaborated on a limited release of All For One Triple India Pale Ale, brewed to celebrate the team’s journey that delivered the first-ever NBA title and the first major sports championship in 52 years to the city of Cleveland.
The special All For One IPA3 features a commemorative Cavs Championship label and comes packaged in a commemorative box. The special All For One Triple India Pale Ale is bottled in a 33.8 FL OZ bottle and clocks in at over 12% ABV. “It’s big and bold, but not for the faint of heart,” said Jack Kephart, The Brew Kettle’s Head Brewer. His description of the beer is captured on the commemorative box. “It can be enjoyed now in all its hoppy glory or cellared for a complex malt accentuated barleywine months down the road.”
An image of Quicken Loans Arena surrounded by thousands of Cavs fans on the day of the Cavaliers Championship parade fills the background of the bottle’s eye-catching black label, accented with a gold foil “All For One” logo and the words “2016 World Champions”. The commemorative box also features a black background splashed with Wine & Gold and the description of the beer.
As a nod to the Cavaliers playoff mantra, “ALL in to 16”, and Cleveland’s ‘216’ area code, only 216 bottles will be available for purchase beginning Wednesday, November 16th at 11:30 a.m., sold exclusively at The Brew Kettle restaurants in Strongsville and Amherst, Ohio.
The Brew Kettle is a favorite Northeast Ohio destination known as the state’s first “Brew-On-Premise” microbrewery with two locations, Strongsville and Amherst.
