ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Soccer and beer have proven a perfect combination throughout the years, and that’s what is on offer for soccer fans in Rochester in the coming months as Marina Auto Stadium and TourROC, the local tourism board, have partnered together to give fans a special package ahead of the first three USL regular season matches to be held at the stadium as part of a special summer series at the venue.

The first of those matches arrived on Saturday, May 5 when Toronto FC II takes on Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC (6 p.m. ET | Tour Tickets). Each package includes a beer flight, brewery tour, trivia, transport, and midfield tickets to the game that will see former Rochester Rhinos Head Coach Bob Lilley bring return to the city with Riverhounds SC.

"We are beyond excited to have TourRoc partnered with us for the 2018 season," said Rhinos Co-Owners David and Wendy Dworkin in a recent statement announcing the partnership. "Beer and soccer just go together. Bringing a pregame brewery tour experience to our soccer matches gives soccer fans a different experience they have been asking for."

The tour will be a unique experience, with a maximum of 50 people able to join the tour, starting at 12 p.m. or 1 p.m. based on kickoff time, and will end at the stadium an hour before kickoff.

All the tours will be themed, with the first two themes already set. Given the date of next week’s tour the first tour will have a Cinco de Mayo theme, while the tour before the June 16th match between that brings new USL side Indy Eleven to town to face Toronto will have a World Cup theme. That World Cup tour will include World Cup trivia, spirit contests, and a ticket to the Little Italy Festival in addition to the regular package.

Additionally on June 16th all the stops on the brewery tour will be airing the FIFA World Cup matches played that day, a slate that includes matchups between France and Australia, Peru and Denmark, Argentina and Iceland, and Croatia and Nigeria that will be sure to warm fans up for the USL match that night.

“TourRoc is excited to announce it's partnership with Marina Auto Stadium for this summer's matches,” said owner Courtney Cawley. “Whether you're a local soccer fan, or one traveling in from out of town, TourRoc would love to show you the best of what Rochester breweries have to offer. Each brewery tour will allow soccer fans to enjoy a great view of Rochester scenery while they learn about the brewing process and craft beer."

With the Hounds featuring in the May 5th encounter, it will be a special moment for Rochester soccer fans with not only Lilley but former Rhinos Assistant Coach Mark Pulisic and a plethora of former players returning to the city. The likes of Kenardo Forbes, Dan Lynd, Christiano Francois, Ray Lee, Jordon Dover, Todd Pratzner, and Kyle Morton have helped the Hounds get off to an undefeated start to the new season ahead of Saturday's game against ATL UTD 2.

Tickets for all three brewery tours are available through TourRoc, including the ability to buy just the tour for fans that have already purchased tickets to the match. A four-match package and single match tickets are available through RhinosSoccer.com.
