On Saturday, Washington Capitals center Nicklas Bäckström released his new beer line, “Swede-est Assist,” at the Eavesdrop Brewery in Manassas, Virginia. Here are the scenes during this epic beer collaboration.

Fans who purchased VIP rooftop tickets had a chance to try the Swede-est Assist Hazy IPA and receive a custom puck, sticker, and drink ticket.

A portion of the beer sales will go to the NB19 Assist Scholarship Fund for youth hockey players at the St. James Fitness Facility.
