April 13th - 2010
The Craft Brew world descended on Chicago last weekend for the 2010 Craft Beer Conference and it was a blast. This year was also the World Beer Cup which is held every other year in conjunction with the CBC. The central theme of the conference is to allow the brewers in the craft beer community to come together and share stories, educate, and learn from each other. they]re is a pretty good trade show with all the fancy beer gadgets and technology on display (hopefully i found some cool new signs for SweetWater).
Check out the full list of courses that were offered here - i stayed in the marketing sales side of the seminars and hopefully retained a load of info - although those late nights and early samples made me a few brain cells lighter on the flight home.

Biggest Highlight of the weekend was the Gold Medal for the Creeper in the Barrel Aged/ Sour beer category!!! First Gold Medal since our Exodus Porter took home the hardware in 2004. The Creeper was the very 1st edition of the Dank Tank from January 2010 and it had aged for a year in French Oak that had been used as a Cabernet Wine Barrel by Silverado Winery before we got our fiendish little hands on it. Good News/Bad News - Gold Medal was the good news, Bad News is there is no longer any of this beer available. The price we pay for the barrel delights!
Check out the photos i took from the weekend. Another cool highlight was meeting Fritz Maytag owner of Anchor Brewing and a pioneer in the Craft Beer Community

ATLANTA Feb 17th– SweetWater fanatics rejoice since the release of the newest creation from the notorious Dank Tank on Wednesday, February 17, coincidentally the thirteenth anniversary of the brewery. BSP Quad is the latest in the series of rarely released, experimental beers from the Atlanta-based brewing company. Beer lovers need to act fast to get a taste of this one-hitter, as the concoction is available for a limited time only and is sure to fly off the shelves.

BSP Quad is a Belgian Quadruple Ale with a sweet, caramel and chocolate roasted body, a rich mahogany color, and a little spicy finish from the Sterling hops . This Quad is 11% ABV, and comes in hefty 22 ounce bottles with the widely recognized ceramic Dank Tank label, and on draft as well. It’s best enjoyed when refrigerated and will evolve over time if stashed with care in your cellar.

Dank Tank creations emerge from the dark side of SweetWater’s brewers and are few and far between, meaning those in the know are clamoring to get their hands on this brew. Only 500 cases and 50 kegs of BSP Quad are shipped out of the brewery, primarily to Atlanta and a few other lucky cities in the Southeast, including Tallahassee, FL; Raleigh, NC; Charleston, SC; and more. Like past Dank Tank beers, BSP Quad will likely vanish in about six weeks… gone, but never forgotten.

SweetWater and our head brewer Nick Nock took home the gold once again at the annual Atlanta Cask Ale Festival. The Spice of Life cask Nick created was our Festive Ale that had been aged in a rum barrel for a few months. Over 400 folks were on hand at 5 Seasons at the Prado to taste 17 unique casks from breweries throughout the country. here is the website for the fest - check out all the photos of this event. if you missed it, don't sweat it our Brew Your Cask Off Festival is March 20th and we will have over 75 unique casks on hand from 75 guest brewers - I am sure Nick will have a few beauties there himself.
