Unity XI Light Lager is now on sale across Washington through Columbia Distributing as Chainline Brewing rolls out a World Cup-themed beer ahead of the 2026 tournament.
The new lager is pitched as a crisp, easy-drinking, sessionable beer at 4.2% ABV, aimed at both craft beer regulars and casual fans for long match-day viewing.
June 11 will bring the official launch party at Chainline’s downtown Kirkland taproom, timed with a viewing of the opening match between Mexico and South Africa.
Chainline, a family-owned Kirkland brewery founded in 2015, says the release ties its local community focus to a global event as the Pacific Northwest prepares to host World Cup activity.
