- We noted earlier this summer how the El Segundo Brewing Company in El Segundo, California saw a boost in sales and requests for their Broken Skull IPA beer following the RAW Reunion and beer bash segment with WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin. That same week the brewery noted on Facebook that they received hundreds, if not thousands, of inquiries about where fans can purchase Stone Cold's signature adult beverage. They also revealed plans to increase distribution to the demand and exposure from RAW. Austin also talked about how the RAW Reunion appearance helped his brand of beer.

The brewery recently announced on their website that they are planning "an invasion" for next year. They also revealed that Austin's beer will be shipped to stores in the New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts area later this month. Below is the full announcement:
