Travis and Jason Kelce unite for new business venture, co-owning Garage Beer
Travis and Jason Kelce played in the same league. Now, the brothers are involved with the same business enterprise. According to a post on X by Adam Schefter on June 12, the brothers are now the largest investors in the 'fast-growing independent light beer' company, 'Garage Beer'.
Schefter also remarked that the brothers had never become "significant owners and operators" of a business before this venture. This may surprise many as the two host the New Heights podcast, which is a business venture by itself.
Of course, the brothers are potentially the most important workers in that venture, which may disqualify them from Schefter's observation.
According to the company's X profile, Garage Beer made their social media account in 2020. Four years later, the Kelce brothers saw an opportunity and took it.
On account of beer playing a key role in the brothers' experience this offseason, it is unsurprising that one of their jumping-off points into business is through a beer company.
Travis and Jason Kelce have been spotted drinking beer at various points this offseason. Travis Kelce was seen at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas following Super Bowl 58 with a drink in hand. Jason Kelce, meanwhile, was seen drinking at a recent live edition of the New Heights podcast this offseason.
Travis Kelce embarks on first season without Jason Kelce with "load" statement
The 2024 offseason saw the two come together in business, but they no longer play in the same league. Jason Kelce retired earlier this offseason, leaving his younger brother to soldier on.
According to a video of a press conference posted by Ari Meirov on X, the tight end is seen asking for the team to "put the load on me."
"Wear and tear me, baby. I'm ready for it, man. Put the load on me," he said.
Travis Kelce, set for an age-35 season, is coming off the first year in which he failed to earn at least 1000 yards since 2015. If the Chiefs choose to treat the tight end like LeBron James and minimize his usage at times, to prolong his availability, it could make a 1000-yard season this year quite difficult.
However, if the Kansas City Chiefs ride him too hard, they may risk causing an injury. This could also end his race to 1000 yards early. In 2023, the tight end missed Week 1 due to injury.
Either way, Jason Kelce's brother may be entering the final stage of his career. Will the tight end prove otherwise?
