Yep. That’s a Rabbit Pushing A Beer Cart [VIDEO]

That is a rabbit pushing a beer cart.

YouTuber Wallace the Mad King worked for more than a year to get this rabbit to push the cart the 2 feet.

This event marks the release of an epic accomplishment. I have been collaborating for the past year with my girlfriend’s pet rabbit to create performance art and “happenings” that capture this rabbit’s capabilities and worldly passions. In a million years, neither Wallace nor I would have guessed that our creative endeavors would take this route but after such a long journey we arrive at this significant moment.

Enjoy.

First Look: SweetWater SpinnerBait [VIDEO]

SweetWater Brewery (Atlanta, GA) nixed fall seasonal Motorboat in order to bump up last winter’s hit release – Whiplash White IPA. That left a spot open for a new winter seasonal to bolster the cold weather lineup – SweetWater Spinnerbait.

SweetWater is known for their love of hops, but for Spinnerbait, the brewery went a different direction. A Belgian direction. Spinnerbait is a Belgian-style red brewed with candi sugar, that goes easy on the aggressive hops. This allows the Ardennes yeast to do the flavor work.

SweetWater Spinnerbait hits shelves starting this week in 12oz bottles, draft, and in the Tacklebox variety pack.

Head brewer Nick Nock gives you the rundown in the Beer Street Journal video above.

Style: Belgian-Style Red Ale (w/ Candi Sugar)
Hops: Willamette, US Golding, Columbus
Malts: 2-Row, Pilsner, Wheat, Black Wheat

Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft. Dec-Feb

6% ABV
