The Horseshoe Collective Golden Ale is a craft American Blonde Ale brewed by Western Collective, a celebrated independent brewery based in Garden City, Idaho. Sold at Costco in a 6-pack of 12 oz cans, this golden ale is the result of a unique partnership between Western Collective and The Horseshoe Collective, a philanthropic NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) organization supporting Boise State University student-athletes. A portion of proceeds from every purchase is donated directly to The Horseshoe Collective, supporting local charitable causes alongside Boise State athletes.

The beer pours a bright, immaculately clear golden-to-brassy hue with a short white foamy head. On the nose it offers aromas of grain, bread dough, and mild fall fruit. The flavor profile is malty and bready with a light grassy bitterness and subtle mid-palate sweetness, finishing clean and smooth. At 4.8% ABV, it's approachable and highly drinkable — well-carbonated with a medium body that makes it a great choice for warm days on the patio or any casual occasion. Reviewers on BeerAdvocate have awarded it an average score of 3.61/5, praising its balance and clean fermentation.

Western Collective opened in Boise in 2018 and is known for its award-winning craft beers, many of which support charitable causes. The Horseshoe Golden Ale is the brewery's 13th beer where proceeds benefit a charitable organization. It has been described as "simple enough to be mass appeal, but not so light that it has no soul."
