Jason Kelce and a War on Drugs Member Made a Beer Jingle

"In the age-old game of selling lagers, pilsners and ales, there is a long history of memorable beer jingles. What's less common are beer jingles that seem designed for a cold December night, preferably one with seasonal decorations and presents under the tree. Cue "O Beer," a song released by the Ohio-based brewery Garage Beer, which itself may be best-known for Jason and Travis Kelce's role as co-owners of the company."

"The video for the song finds Jason Kelce joined by a wide-ranging group of vocalists to sing the praises of, well, beer. Garage Beer also pressed 100 seven inches featuring "O Beer" as the A-side and Kelce reading a yarn called "The Reindeer and The Red Drink" on the reverse. One of the more interesting aspects of the song is the presence of Charlie Hall, drummer of the long-running Philadelphia rock band The War on Drugs, on production duties for the record."

""Jason and I first met when The War On Drugs played Connor Barwin's Make the World Better fundraiser at the Dell Amphitheater in Philly, Hall explained. "Kelce was there, actually in Connor's absence, as I think he had a game with the Rams that day. We were fast friends, and thinking about it now it's fitting that we first met at an event that was the intersection of music and philanthropy.""

Garage Beer released a holiday-flavored single titled "O Beer," featuring Jason Kelce alongside a range of vocalists and accompanied by a limited 100-copy seven-inch that pairs the song with Kelce reading "The Reindeer and The Red Drink." Charlie Hall of The War on Drugs handled production duties for the record. Hall and Kelce first connected at a Make the World Better fundraiser where the band performed. Kelce, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata recorded three albums as The Philly Specials, all produced by Hall, with proceeds benefiting Philadelphia nonprofits.
