SweetWater (Atlanta, GA) has just released their newest seasonal, Whiplash White IPA.

Look for this in 12oz/6 packs, draft, and in the Tackle Box Variety Pack.

Availability: 12oz bottles, Draft. Winter seasonal.

Tonight’s Season Four premiere of AMC’s The Walking Dead featured a fight scene full of craft beer. SweetWater Brewing, Terrapin Beer Co and Jailhouse Brewing had cameos. You also see Decatur’s Ale Yeah! banner in a scene. (Slightly obscured by the Jailhouse sign.)
This hit show is filmed in and around Atlanta, Georgia. The Walking Dead’s set designers often reach out to local brewers asking for beer, signage and boxes to be used as props for filming.
Over the summer, Glen Golden of Jailhouse Brewing in Hampton, Georgia mentioned the show took bottles and signs to use in the upcoming season. Until tonight’s premiere, Glen wasn’t sure if they made it in any of the shots.
You could argue the walkers were just dropping in for the local brews, and not the healthy folks. Just a thought.

The release is limited to just 200 barrels, bottle and draft. Arrives this week until it sells out.

Coming soon to SweetWater Brewing Company’s Dank Tank Series is this lady, Red Hot Mama. El Danko, the man, the myth, the legend, AND the inspiration behind the series, has another chick to brag about. She’s an imperial red ale brewed with fresh (hot) centennial hops.
Just like the other Dank Tank predecessors, there’s a backstory:
Red Hot Mama The Red Hot Mama from Yakima was one bad Itch, running through fanners like they were her personal toys. She especially had her way with our old buddy Vinny from Van Horn Farms and left him drained in the field as she hitched her way out of town with a dress full of fresh hops. This Red Hot Mama was not one to mess with. She hooked up with a Harley gang, and made her way down to Atlanta looking bra soul to steal. She met her match with El Danko, and the two of them got nasty in the brewhouse together; clothes and hops were flying all over the place. The load of fresh Centennial hops were dropped, and Head Brewer Nick Nock scrambled to use ’em as they smelled extra dank! After hosing off, El Danko showed her the door. He knew he didn’t have enough left in him for another round. Ride on, Red Hot Mama. Girl, you sure look good to me!

While it was rainy in Atlanta (and muddy at Music Midtown) it was warm and sunny in Miami, Florida. That’s where the SweetWater Flying Trout was taking its maiden (and only) voyage.
Unlike the the Redbull Soapbox Derby in Atlanta that the brewery won, the craft brewery wasn’t so lucky in Miami. Above is the ride. Below are Beer Street Journal pics of the assembly.
