Convenience-store chain Rutter’s has launched its newest beer creation, Rainy Daze, in collaboration with Rusty Rail Brewing Co. The spring seasonal beer is a Hazy IPA with a berry aroma and flavor.
Rainy Daze comes in a four-pack of 16-ounce cans and is available in limited quantities at Rutter’s Pennsylvania locations that sell beer.
“Rutter’s thrives on bringing new and exciting offerings to our customers,” said Adam Long, senior category manager at Rutter’s. “This flavorful hazy IPA continues a long line of specialty beers crafted carefully just for them.”
- Rutter’s is No. 78 on CSP’s 2024 Top 202 ranking of U.S. convenience-store chains by store count.
This marks the seventh Rutter’s exclusive beer launch.
“At Rusty Rail Brewing, we love crafting unique flavors, and Rainy Daze is no exception!” said Logan Powell, head brewer at Rusty Rail Brewing Co. “This exclusive berry IPA, brewed in collaboration with Rutter’s, is the perfect companion for any adventure—rain or shine!”
In March, Rutter’s unveiled its plans to open a new hybrid sports bar-convenience-store concept, that will feature a selection of adult beverages, such as canned cocktails, beer and wine. The locations in Johnstown and Milton, Pennsylvania, will be new builds and larger formats to start, but there’s potential for adding them to existing locations too, Rutter's said.
- Rutter’s president and CEO Scott Hartman was named CSP’s 2025 Retail Leader of the Year.
York, Pennsylvania-based Rutter’s operates 89 stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia. The retailer plans to open its first store in Virginia this summer.
