SweetWater Gummies Line of Beers

SweetWater Brewing Doubles Down on Gummies Line

SweetWater Brewing Company the largest craft brewer in the Southeast and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc., today announced the release of two bold additions to the SweetWater Gummies line of brews, its latest run on fruit-flavored, high-alcohol beers. Prepare to ditch the winter blues with Sour Watermelon India Pale Ale (IPA) and Cherry Limeaid IPA, which are both brewed with real fruit and clock in at 9.5% alcohol-by-volume (ABV).

Gummies Series of Beers

SweetWater Brewing Company previously released Half-a-Gummie beer. They are now going full out and releasing full gummies beers. SweetWater’s progressive brews push the boundaries of flavor with Sour Watermelon IPA features a watermelon candy aroma, a crisp fruity body with a hint of tartness, and a slightly sweet finish. Cherry Limeaid IPA leads with a lime-forward profile, a subtle maraschino cherry aroma, a sweet citrus body, and a hint of candy cherry flavor with a clean, sweet finish.

In the mindset of edibles (gummies) SweetWater Brewing has created a line of Gummies IPAs. Building on their reputation of pot and marijuana and weed themed beers, SweetWater has an ‘edibles’ series called Gummies.

As a brewery that thrives on fresh ideas and flavor exploration, we are excited to introduce Sour Watermelon and Cherry Limeaid to our SweetWater Gummies lineup, which we’ve crafted to satisfy the strong demand for full-flavored, high-ABV beers. Gummies are easy to drink and are perfect to kick start the night, whether you’re throwing a house party, watching the game, or drinking with a few friends.

Ty Gilmore – President of U.S. Beers for SweetWater Brewing Company

Sour Watermelon IPA and Cherry Limeaid IPA are now available nationally in major retailers in the new Gummies Variety twelve-pack, which also includes the original Gummies Fruit Punch IPA and Tropical IPA. To find Gummies in a store near you, please visit SweetWater’s brew – finder.

Building on the trailblazing success of the Gummies line, ‘Half-A-Gummie’ IPA emerges as a natural evolution in SweetWater’s pursuit of innovation and excellence in craft brewing. The SweetWater Gummies series launched as a testament to the brewery’s commitment to flavor-forward and high-ABV ales, setting a new benchmark in the Double IPA category. These ales, notably the Tropical IIPA and Fruit Punch IIPA with a potent 9.5% ABV, captured the essence of summer with their haze, juiciness, and bold, fruity flavors.

SweetWater Brewing Released Half – A – Gummie IPA

B. Kline — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 18:08:31 +0000

SweetWater Brewing Company Announces Release of Half-a-Gummie IPA

SweetWater Brewing Company – the largest craft brewery in the South East (of America); and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands Inc. has announced that they will be releasing ‘Half – A – Gummie IPA’.

SweetWater Brewing Company announced today the latest innovation in its acclaimed IPA series – ‘Half -A – Gummie’ IPA. This new line of India Pale Ales, bursting with fruit-forward flavors, is a twist on the wildly successful SweetWater Gummies Double IPA – which launched earlier this year, now reimagined with a more session-friendly alcohol content. The original Gummies IIPA is available in cans nationwide while the innovative Half-A-Gummie IPA is going to be ready on draft.

SweetWater Brewing is known for their hemp inspired beers, such as Hemperor and many others.

The press release can be found here: SweetWater Brewing Announces Gummies Beer.
(Note, I prefer to write my own articles rather than just copy and paste press releases like some craft beer blogs do.)

SweetWater Brewing Gummies

Building on the trailblazing success of the Gummies line, ‘Half-A-Gummie’ IPA emerges as a natural evolution in SweetWater’s pursuit of innovation and excellence in craft brewing. The SweetWater Gummies series launched as a testament to the brewery’s commitment to flavor-forward and high-ABV ales, setting a new benchmark in the Double IPA category. These ales, notably the Tropical IIPA and Fruit Punch IIPA with a potent 9.5% ABV, captured the essence of summer with their haze, juiciness, and bold, fruity flavors.
SweetWater Brewing Company

Half – a – Gummie retains the essence of the full Gummies series, but comes in at lower ABVs. They are keeping that great flavor, the tropical notes, the captivating fruit flavors, the aromatic appeal; just lowering the alcohol. Which is a trend in the craft beer industry. Lower ABVs, lower alcohol, more easy drinking beers. The launch series of Half a Gummie includes the same two great varieties from the original series: Tropical IPA and Fruit Punch IPA. Each are clocking in at 5.5% ABV. These new brews are a masterful blend of fruit explosions, featuring the luscious flavors of strawberry, pineapple, orange, and cherry, culminating in a uniquely smooth, incredibly flavorful, and drinkable IPA experience.

Our Gummies Double IPA has been a huge hit with consumers who crave fruit-forward, high-ABV beers. We’ve also discovered a strong demand, especially with our on-premise partners, for beers with a similar flavor profile and less alcohol. We’re excited to offer drinkers the choice to enjoy an easy-drinking IPA with low bitterness and delicious fruit flavors while tapping into a lower ABV option.
Ty Gilmore, President of U.S. Beers for Tilray Beer

This new line is a testament to SweetWater Brewing Company’s agility in adapting to consumer preferences, offering a lower – ABV IPA that still embodies the brewery’s signature blend of bold flavors and easy drinkability. This strategic move aligns with a market report predicting a 6 percent CAGR growth in the fruit beer market over the next decade, driven by a growing preference for beers that offer both refreshing taste and a gentler alcohol presence, much like ‘Half – A – Gummie’.

Oktoberfest Beer Season Has Arrived

Let Us Drink Beer — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 14:19:53 +0000

Oktoberfest Beer Season Has Arrived

For many beer lovers, this time of year is our favorite time of year. August unofficially starts the Oktoberfest beer season, even though the actual festival doesn’t happen until September, as these seasonal favorites start reaching retail shelves. I live in North Georgia, and we have the distinction of having one of the longest running Oktoberfest celebrations in the U.S. in nearby Helen, GA. Helen was a sleepy little mountain town until 1969 when some of the local businessmen and a local artist decided to turn it into a replica of a Bavarian village. A lot of people scoff at it as nothing but a tourist trap, but it has become Georgia’s third most visited city. Personally, I think it’s fun and the best way to experience Oktoberfest without leaving the country. What is it about Oktoberfest that makes it many beer enthusiasts their favorite time of year for beer? Simply put some of the most drinkable, enjoyable beers are made for this time of year. In the United States, the delectable amber Märzen style beer has become the most popular beer consumed for Oktoberfest celebrations around the country. You can get versions imported directly from Germany, domestic ones made by some of the best craft breweries in the country or very fresh versions on tap at your local craft beer brewery. In the Southeastern U.S., it is still quite hot in late August well into September. As the weather starts to moderate, we get some spectacular days that are great for sitting out in a beer garden or cooking out at your tailgate party drinking a tasty beer and socializing with friends and family.

Oktoberfest beer can be quite confusing. It’s easy for American’s to assume that beer served in Munich for the real Oktoberfest celebration is a malty, amber colored version know as Märzen we see so prevalent here. Even versions imported from Germany are the amber Märzen. However, you’ll run across versions like Weihenstephaner Festbier or Hofbrau Oktoberfest that are a more of golden color, similar to a Helles with a higher alcohol content. To help clear things up, I contacted U.K. based beer writer Mark Dredge. Dredge is a veteran of Oktoberfest celebrations in Munich and recently published the book A Brief History of Lager. What follows is some of the finer points of what Mark explained to me.

The first thing to understand about Oktoberfest beer is that it was really more about the time of year the beer was brewed than any particular style. That’s where the descriptor Märzen or March beer comes from. It was beer brewed in March. Lagered (cold stored) from April until it was tapped in September for Oktoberfest. The original Oktoberfest beer was actually a dark beer or Dunkel. Then Josef Sedlmayr introduced a “lighter” colored beer n the 1870’s, which was the amber colored beer we are more familiar with in the U.S. today. There are some records of a paler colored beer being served as early as 1890’s; however, Paulaner is generally credited with popularizing the modern version when it introduced it’s pale, golden beer in the 1970’s that eventually became the dominant style. This beer is a stronger version of Helles and is referred to as Oktoberfestbier in Munich and Festbier outside of Munich. That being said, ANY beer served at Oktoberfest in Munich can be called Oktoberfestbier, even an amber version. Clear as mud, right?

Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier Photo: Let Us Drink Beer

Let’s narrow things down to beer for the U.S. market. Most U.S. based breweries are finally starting to settle into a consistent naming of Oktoberfest beers. What you will find is, most breweries will name their amber Oktoberfest beer an “Oktoberfest Märzen “, “Festbier Märzen” or “Märzen Beer ( Märzenbier)”. Therefore, most U.S. breweries will let you know theirs is the amber version. Märzen in the U.S. can best be described as a malt forward amber lager with toasty and bready malt flavor, restrained bitterness and a finish that is dry and inviting. There are a handful that make the pale golden, stronger Helles version and they will typically call it a “Festbier”. This beer can be described as a pale, malt forward lager with light toast or bread dough-like flavor and light hop character. It has a medium body, restrained bitterness and finish that encourages you to have that next mug.

The Märzen style has been overwhelmingly popular in the U.S. market and no one really knows exactly why. The best explanation I’ve heard is, because the craft beer market has popularized more rare styles over the typical pale American mass produced lager, Märzen is more popular because of its bigger flavors. But, the Festbier style is starting to catch on a bit. The cancellation of Oktoberfest in Munich for the second year in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic has brought more actual Munich Oktoberfestbier (Festbier) style to the U.S. This is the first time I’ve seen Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier (golden strong Helles) on the shelves in Atlanta. Paulaner normally ships over their Oktoberfest Märzen. Hofbrau’s Oktoberfestbier and Weihenstephaner Festbier are some of the few of the golden strong Helles style I typically see in my area and they tend to disappear fast.

Arches Brewing Marzen Bier Photo: Let Us Drink Beer

So what are some of the best Oktoberfest Märzens and Festbiers to look for this year. Needless to say, the imported German versions are always terrific. My personal favorite is imported Märzens is Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen and Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen. I had Paulaner’s Oktoberfest Bier for the first time this year and it is amazing how drinkable it is at 6% ABV. I highly recommend that one, if you can find it, and Weihenstephaner Festbier, which I never let a season go by without grabbing some of it. Locally here in Georgia, Arches Brewing Märzen Bier, Tucker Tucktoberfest (Märzen), and New Realm Bavarian Prince (Märzen) are some of the best in Georgia. Outside of Georgia, I am certain you can find some well crafted Märzens in your region. Victory Brewing (PA) Festbier Märzen and Highland Brewing (NC) Claw Hammer Märzen are two I try to make sure to purchase every fall. That’s one of the nice things about this time of year, many craft beer breweries temporarily turn their focus from hop monsters and sours, to these highly drinkable beer styles meant to be shared enjoyed with others.

Prost!

Guest Blogging

BKline — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 13:20:39 +0000

As I’m sure you’ve taken notice, there has been a bit of ‘guest blogging’ going on both here at The Beer Thrillers and over at Let Us Drink Beer. We are going to (basically) be doing a couple of blog posts for each other per month. Two to three, nothing outrageous or crazy. But a nice flow of blog posts. With them being a Georgia based blog, and with us primarily being a Central Pennsylvania (PA) based blog, it makes for a nice dynamic, and a nice interchange of ideas and beers and styles and breweries that people familiar with one blog might not see. Variety is the spice of life, and that is no more evident than in the craft brewing industry.

Some blogs will be beer reviews, some will be brewery reviews, some will just be about interesting news in our areas. Either way, when you visit either blog, it will be easy to find our respective posts. Here on The Beer Thrillers look for “Let Us Drink Beer” and you’ll see their posts. On Let Us Drink Beer you can look for B. Kline or The Beer Thrillers and find my posts.

We, here at The Beer Thrillers, will make sure to keep you updated on both their posts here at our blog, as well as our posts on their blog, on our various social media platforms (primarily FaceBook and Twitter, but elsewhere as well) as well as here on the blog itself.

You can read about their take on our guest blogging and their write-up about it here: Guest Blogger – Let Us Drink Beer at their blog.

So far they have written two blog posts on The Beer Thrillers for us; you can read Let Us Drink Beer’s blog posts here:

You can view my two blog posts at Let Us Drink Beer here:

So please check out their blog and show them some love (and vice versa too of course). And be on the lookout for more fun, exciting, and amazing stuff coming to The Beer Thrillers in 2020! Can’t wait for the new year, the new decade, and plenty of new beer!

Cheers!

November Recap

BKline — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 00:04:57 +0000

November was certainly one interesting month! The Beer Thrillers pumped out an incredible volume of blog posts – 34 in total. From four different people. Two being brand new writers for us. Myself – B. Kline – I pumped out 30 blog posts, one per day. It was quite the adventure, quite the journey. My blog posts averaged 1016 words per post, and there was 30 from myself alone, from beer reviews, brewery reviews, news, tidbits, events, and all kinds of things in between. From a large host of locations, from beers in bottle, draft, and can, from several new breweries, and many old standby’s of the blog. And just like I challenged myself to do a new blog post each day, I had also challenged myself to drink a new beer each day (new as in new to me, and a unique beer to myself), so this was certainly a very interesting, challenging, and fun month.

Some days the blog posts were easy. Other days not so much. Some days I had the blog post done at 7:30 or 8AM… other days I’m struggling to get the blog post done, and wrapping it up at 11:58PM.

I never truly felt like I had burnt myself out…. until I came to doing this recap blog post. Thats why its now December 7th and its getting posted; when this was meant to be posted on December 1st. And I still don’t think I’m ‘burnt out’. I think its a case of ‘start-up issues’. The hardest part about any blog post is starting the blog post. Like writing anything, the hardest part is the beginning, is putting ink to paper, or to type those first few words. So, as the time stretched from December 1st… to December 2nd…. to December 3rd…. I hesitated and procrastinated more and more, and this post went further and further by the wayside. So for that, and for the fact that the blog as a whole hasn’t had a single post in December, and no new blog post in a week, I apologize. For those of you who were looking forward to this recap posting of my “November NaNoWriMo Challenge”, I apologize. And yes, I know I’m not REALLY doing a NaNoWriMo, and I know I’m not using the term correctly.

But this is the recap post, and it is finally going live. I apologize for its tardiness, but hopefully you will enjoy it all the same.

I met all three of my self-set hard challenges for November, and fell short of a soft-challenge for myself. My hard challenges were: 1) One new blog post per day, 2) One new unique beer per day, and 3) One 1-mile or more walk per day. These challenges I completed. (Figured the 1-mile or more walk would counter-balance the fact I was drinking every day.) The soft challenge I failed was hitting my 10K steps per day. And I only failed that one day…. ironically the second day of the month. I only got 8.8K steps that day, mainly due to a friend gathering and party and having gone to it right after work.

But you all don’t really care about the challenges, and just want to see the recap right?! So here’s whats going with that. I’m going to make a list here of the dates (November 1st, November 2nd, November 3rd, etc.) as headings, and then underneath it, list the different blog posts we posted that day (mine, J. Doncevic’s reviews, AJ’s Default Brewing post, and the guest writing blog post by Let Us Drink Beer). I will also list what new unique beer I had each of those days (or in the cases of some days, ‘unique beers’). So lets to it!

Whew, what an exhausting month November was. I think part of the reason it took me so long to get the energy to do this recap post, was knowing the amount of formatting involved and the photos…. and now that the challenge is over, a malaise kind of settled over me. Like my job was completed. I started this post this morning before work, and had to finish it now after an extra hour or so of work on it this evening. I still want to put in some statistics of the month, for the blog, and for myself, and will most likely come in and do the edit for that later tonight or tomorrow. I will also add the tags and categories. But for now, I just want to get this live and up on the internet. Its 7PM and this is long overdo.

I would like to thank my contributors and co-authors on this blog for making this month (and all the time in general) go so well, and for providing so much help, fun and entertaining blog posts to read, and for helping so much with the blog! Thank you J. Doncevic, AJ Brechbiel (Default Brewing), and Let us Drink Beer Blog. My blog post for Let us Drink Beer’s blog will go live tomorrow and I will provide a link here for that in the statistics edit I will do. In the meantime you can read their post about their upcoming additions to their blog here: Let us Drink Beer: Exciting Additions Coming Soon!

Cheers and I hope you all enjoyed all of our blog posts in November. Heres to the rest of 2019, and then on to the future, 2020, and the next decade!

Beer Review: Alpha Abstraction Vol. 8 (Wild Leap Brew Co.)

BKline — Sat, 16 Nov 2019 03:55:14 +0000

Alpha Abstraction (Volume 8) by Wild Leap Brew Co.

One of the best things to do on a cold Thursday night in mid-November is to drink a delicious IPA; and watch the newly released Disney+ – in particular, watching The Mandalorian and then the Simpsons.

So thats exactly what I did last night. I got under the covers, booted up the Disney+ to watch the new Mandalorian show and drank a fantastic DIPA.

Beer: Alpha Abstraction Vol. 8
Brewery: Wild Leap Brew Co.
Style: IPA – Imperial/ Double New England
ABV: 8%
IBU: 46
Untappd Write-Up: The eighth edition of the Alpha Abstraction series, Volume 8 is a juicy, double dry-hopped IPA with Enigma hops.

This is a beautiful looking DIPA – New England style; and an even better tasting one. Appearance is that of a typical new NEIPA. Hazy, unfiltered. Nice head to it, nice body, nice look and appearance as a whole.

Taste is every better. This is a very hop juice / orange juice to come up for. Great mouthfeel, great flavors. The hops are strong, powerful, and pungent, but the hops combine to make a nice tasting hop juice rather than a hop overload thats just too much to taste and too many different hop combinations and flavors. Nope, this is spot on juice that is extremely delicious.

My Untappd Rating: ***.75
Global Untappd Rating: 4.17 (as of 11.15.19)

Thanks for reading everyone.

Cheers!
