About a month ago, Philip Petracca decided to honor his favorite New York Giant, Eli Manning, by brewing a beer in his honor.
The timing — like Manning’s gutsy 2012 pass to Mario Manningham in Super Bowl XLVI — was impeccable.
“We put it up for pre-sale, and a few days later, he announced his retirement,” Petracca, who owns Source Farmhouse Brewery in Colts Neck, NJ, tells The Post. “It was dumb luck.”
Called ELIte Tribute, the craft beer was intended to honor the athlete’s accomplishments on and off the field ahead of Super Bowl Sunday.
