SweetWater Danktoberfest Joining Dank Tank Series
SweetWater Brewing Company (Atlanta, GA) gets into the fest spirit with this next edition from the Dank Tank. Introducing Danktoberfest. The Dank Tank Series is a sudsy line up of one off brews from the biggest brewery in the southeast.
While Krones was working on SweetWater’s brewhouse, which they were 3 months behind schedule on (that part is true), one of their sour kraut engineers drove a gabelstapler over Mr. Dank’s toe and broke it. Mr. Dankenschnitzel jumped a flug to Krones HQ in Deustchland to pick up his large siedlung check. Looking to quell his T Pain, Dank beelined it to Oktoberfest in Munchen and into the arms of a friendly farulein who quickly uber serviert him. Stumbling blindly, Herr Dankenschnitzel, laden in lederhosen and longingly looking for a lovely loo, humpelte into the Bitterburger Brewery to drain the main vein. Unable to hold it any longer, Danken Guender feuer abegespritzt all over the control panel, short circuiting their infamous Oktoberfest bier. The beer no longer fit the rhinobutt purity law, so Hans and Franz kicked his arsch out of the mother land and told Danky doodle dandy to take that mischmasch back to SübWasser with him.

SweetWater Dank Tank 420 IPA Arrives
SweetWater Brewing’s latest Dank Tank Series release 420 IPA has arrived. This most recent release is built off the famed 420 Pale Ale, but bigger. Hoppier. Boozier.
Tingling with excitement, el dank hopped the fur bus and rolled to the panic show at The Fox. Boogieing down to Chilly Water, he noodled into a cute little wookie that blew his mind and yanked him from some post show get down at the Clermont lounge. Stumbling and bumbling with blondie, he got booted, and went home for some shut eye. Dreaming of the wet wookie, he awoke to his dog licking his tongue, realizing he was late for his night shift at SweetWater.
Fumbling through his brew and dry hopping duties, el danko hit the wall, and passed out mid-shift. Waking up to Nick Nock screaming WTF, he frantically ran around putting out fires. As the haze cleared he realized he had left the mill running, jacking up the OG and dry hopping the wrong tank. Fuddied up after the most insane 36 hours, el Danko pondered his delirious creation, a chubby 420 India Pale Ale! Huh??? Ducking trouble, he quickly swept the abominable snowman under the rug, as he sent the 420 IPA to the bottling line boys in an effort to hide his momentoustus F- up.

SweetWater’s Next Dank Tank: A Hopped Up 420 IPA
Great surprise this AM – SweetWater’s next Dank Tank release has been revealed. A hopped up 420 IPA. For those of you that don’t know – 420 is the brewery’s signature pale ale. This next release- billed at an F’up after el Danko met a wookie and partied at the Clermont Lounge with Blondie – is nearly double the strength of 420 Pale. Don’t have the pleasure of living in Atlanta? Get to know The Clermont Lounge. We’ve taken many a brewer that has come to town to this institution. All shall remain… errr… nameless.

SweetWater Ships Sticky Nugs
SweetWater Brewing’s newest Dank Tank release is now shipping. A hoppy red ale, full of nugget hops.
Looking to drain the main vein on a 420 mile road trip, el Danko casually slipped into the dankest nugget hop field known to man. Stupefied by the pungent aromas, his eyes rolled back as he fell into a sea of sticky buds. After 4 days of being pinned in the vines, he thought he was a goner. Believing he was hallucinating as he saw every woodland creature, horny toad, and Sasquatch rush past his stuck self. He suddenly became petrified as he saw a million army ants devouring everything they saw in his path. He said one last hail mary as the ants began to chew on him and the vines. With one last gasp, he jerked free and hauled balls out of the field with biting ants and sticky hops covering his pruned body. Desperately in search of ant bite relief, he belly flopped in the 1st oasis he saw, with was a fermenter at SweetWater. Fuddied up, el Danko’s tea bag into the brew turned it into a double red from the blending ant bites, and dry hopped this bad boy from the fresh nugget hops that where stuck to him.
