Sweetwater Brewing Company Unveils Fall Craft Beer Lineup

ATLANTA, Oct. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SweetWater Brewing Company (“SweetWater”), the largest craft brewer in the Southeast and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc. ("Tilray" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), today unveiled its highly anticipated fall lineup of craft brews and the release of the new limited series Brewer’s Batch Golden Ale and Brewer’s Batch IPA, as well as the return of its popular Georgia Brown Ale, Mosaic Single Hop Hazy IPA, and Fresh Sticky Nugs Hazy Double IPA.

“Our new fall lineup features a strong blend of time-honored favorites and delicious new brews that are perfect for the season, whether you’re watching football, winding down after a day outdoors, or enjoying a crisp evening with friends,” said Ty Gilmore, President, Tilray Beer. “And while we are focused on innovation, it’s been just as rewarding to bring back cult classics from our past in response to popular demand.”

One of SweetWater’s most popular beers and a Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal Winner, Georgia Brown Ale (5.8% Alcohol by Volume (ABV)) is back and featuring deep chocolate and caramel notes and a subtle nutty finish. It’s available for a limited time on draft, six-packs of 12-ounce cans and in SweetWater’s fall variety 12-pack, which also includes:

• Mosaic Single Hop IPA (6.2% ABV): Another popular brew coming out of retirement, Mosaic hops play the feature role in this golden, hazy ale, leaving complex citrus, herbal and stone fruit notes followed by a crisp, clean finish.
• Brewer’s Batch Golden Ale (4.5% ABV): A new limited series, the beer is a light and easy-drinking beer brewed to be enjoyed anywhere outside, from the tailgate to the trailhead.
• 420 Extra Pale Ale (5.7% ABV): SweetWater’s flagship beer delivers fresh, hoppy notes of lemon, grapefruit and pine with a crisp finish.
  

Back for the fall hop harvest, Fresh Sticky Nugs Hazy Double IPA is brewed with fresh Bravo, Simcoe, Amarillo, Centennial, and Citra hops that create a dank, juicy ale bursting with orange, tropical fruit, grapefruit and pine flavors and aroma. It’s available for a limited time on draft and four-packs of 16-ounce cans.

SweetWater will also offer a new IPA variety pack this fall that features a mix of new and best-selling ales, including:

• H.A.Z.Y. IPA (6.2% ABV): Double dry-hopped for a blast of mango, stone fruit, and lime, it’s a juice bomb loaded with wheat and oats for lower bitterness and a creamy mouthfeel.
• Gone Trippin’\ West Coast IPA (7 % ABV): A tribute to the style that inspired SweetWater, Gone Trippin’ is a classic West Coast style ale that is assertively hopped with citrus and pine aromas with a malty backbone that brings it back to center.
• G13 IPA (6% ABV): A deliciously heady IPA brewed with authentic, strain-specific terpenes to mimic the aroma of the legendary G13 cannabis strain.
• Brewer’s Batch India Pale Ale (6.4% ABV): A new American-style IPA that delivers refreshing pine and tropical flavors with a smooth body.
