And, Barstool will be releasing exclusive Pirate Water merchandise available on store.barstoolsports.com.

"This is the most excited we've been to work with a brand thus far," said Brianna Chickenfry, co-host of PlanBri Uncut. "Phusion has given us a ton of creative direction in integrating this product into ours and our audiences' styles. We can't wait to share it with the world and watch it explode."

"Pirate Water is both phenomenal and affordable, it only makes sense for us to make it our drink of choice," said Grace O'Malley, co-host of PlanBri Uncut.

"If you want to start a party you only need one thing: Pirate Water," said John "Feits" Feitelberg, co-host of KFC Radio.

"We love our partnership with the team at Barstool," said Jaisen Freeman, co-founder/CEO Phusion Projects. "They're the largest and most relevant media property out right now. We've been working with them for a few years and have seen how their reach not only hits our core consumer, but also converts to product sales. We're very excited for this launch and to partner together for years to come."

Phusion and Barstool Sports have been partners for over two years, integrating their Mamitas and Four Loko brands into several of Barstool's franchises including PlanBri Uncut, Sundae Conversation with Caleb Pressley, & Neighborhood Eats with Rone.

Barstool Sports' ability to create and promote branded beverages has become a hallmark of the company's marketing strategy. By tapping into its loyal and engaged fan base across different Barstool franchises, the media empire and its talent are able to connect with audiences on a deeper level, while providing new and exciting products. Barstool has a proven track record of successfully launching co-branded beverages, such as Spittin' Chiclets' #1 flavored vodka in North America, Pink Whitney, and Big Deal Brewing, its new super-premium golden ale. More recently, Barstool launched Stella Blue Coffee, a new coffee brand inspired by Dan "Big Cat" Katz, host of the #1 sports podcast in the country, Pardon My Take.

Pirate Water is available nationally at retailers including Gopuff, Walmart, HEB, Racetrac, Jewel-Osco, Circle K and many more. So, next time you're hanging out with friends, hitting the town, or finding your next adventure, be sure to grab a can of Pirate Water and let the good times roll!
