Here\u2019s how Stonehill fans can purchase four-packs featuring each of these unique beverages:<\/p>\n
\n- Pre-Order Online: <\/strong>Place your order here<\/a> prior to the Family Weekend football game vs. Duquesne University (taking place Saturday, October 17, at 12 p.m.) and the Homecoming Weekend game against Central Connecticut State University (taking place Saturday, November 7, at 1 p.m.). Orders can be picked up on game day from 10 a.m. to noon at the Shovel Town pop-up tent, near the food trucks in the Chapel of Mary parking lot. After 12 p.m., orders can be picked up at the Shovel Town beer garden near the north end zone.<\/li>\n
- Purchase on Game Day: <\/strong>Buy a draft beer during the game (cans are only available via pre-order and cannot be sold on site).<\/li>\n
- Buy at Shovel Town Brewery: <\/strong>Beginning Wednesday, September 30, pick up a four-pack of Built to Rise<\/em> beer directly at the taproom, located at 50 Oliver Street, North Easton, Massachusetts 02356<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A portion of the proceeds from each four-pack sold will support Built to Rise<\/em>. The $50 million campaign was launched in May 2026 to elevate the College\u2019s athletic offerings and infrastructure.

<\/a><\/p>\nThe Built to Rise<\/em> beer collection marks the College\u2019s third collaboration with Shovel Town Brewery.
