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.
