SweetWater Mean Joe Bean Hits

SweetWater Brewing’s latest beer from the side project/experimental/one off/reserve/specialty series has shipped.   Bombers are hitting shelves, with draft not far behind.  A special release party is headed your way too for those near Atlanta.

Mean Joe Bean is a hat tilt to the famous footballer Mean Joe Green.  SweetWater & their real gift from writing describes this beer
“Rodger the Dodger and his Imperial Porter bone offense didn’t stand a bat wing’s chance once we dipped our Nicaraguan bean sack through his facemask! We blindsided his 8.5% Alc/Vol jock strap back to the fields to pick more beans, resulting in this Immaculate con-Catch-tion of intense forearm shivers of chocolate malt, a body like the Bus and blitzes of gridiron hops, all clothes lined by intense coffee overtones. It’s so good that you’ll need your terrible towel to wipe the tears”

Release Party:
On Friday, March 4th, 2011 a release party will be held at Deckard’s American Tavern in downtown Atlanta.  The party will feature  Mean Joe Bean, both on draft and and beer engine.  The “Dirty Nekkid” coffee that was used in beer will be available for those wanting to compare.  Party kicks off at 6:30 pm.  Expect some specialty glassware giveaways, and a drawing for Brew Your Cask Off tickets.

Availability: 22oz Bombers, draft. 1 time Dank Tank release. (for now)

8.5% ABV

SweetWater Brewing Raises 21K At Spin For Kids

SweetWater Brewing recently released Crank Tank Rye’d Ale in conjunction with their 5th Annual Spin For Kids Fundraiser.  21,000 – the money raised by the event benefits Camp Twin Lakes, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing children with serious illness and special needs and their families a recreational outlet. (Direct quote. Couldn’t say it better myself).   The event was a great success, for all involved.  Craft beer really gives back.

PRESS RELEASE: SweetWater’s “Mean Joe Bean”

More info on SweetWater Brewing’s next release – “Mean Joe Bean” headed to shelves in February.

ATLANTA — Football season never ends at SweetWater, hence the release of Mean Joe Bean, a bean-to-beer experiment and the latest in the rarely released randomness dubbed their Dank Tank series. These creations emerge from SweetWater’s dark side — brewed only when the itch gets so bad, they just have to scratch it – and they are few and far between
