Press Release: SweetWater Brewing Company (“SweetWater Brewing” or “SweetWater”), the largest craft brewer in the Southeast and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc., (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), today announced a design refresh to make the Sweetwater brand more impactful, cohesive, and memorable to consumers. SweetWater’s updated portfolio of beers is available now across the Southeast and in select national markets.
The new logo and packaging are part of a renewal of SweetWater’s portfolio, which includes new names for select year-round beers, as well as new innovations, such as the 420 Pale Ale brand family, an expansion of the iconic 420 Pale Ale that includes three new versions of the classic beer. SweetWater is focused on appealing to a wider audience with a modern and relatable aesthetic, improved shelf visibility, and style-driven brand families and innovation platforms that strongly align with both established and emerging categories.
Prinz Pinakatt, Chief Marketing Officer, Tilray Beer at Tilray Brands, said, “This rebrand marks a new chapter for SweetWater and is a celebration of the craft beer revolution sparked in Atlanta. We want to build off the SweetWater legacy built over nearly three decades by finding new ways to stand out and attract the next generation of SweetWater fans with an appealing look and enticing lineup of classic craft beer styles, exciting innovations, and beyond-beer offerings. We’ve also renamed our IPA to ‘Atlanta’s OG IPA’ and wrapped our cans and packaging with psychedelic artwork depicting Sweetwater creek, staying true to our brand DNA.”
Born and brewed in Atlanta, SweetWater’s refreshed year-round lineup includes:
- Atlanta’s OG IPA (6.3% ABV): SweetWater’s original IPA, hopped to the gills to lay down hints of grapefruit and pine on the palate, with a clean and bright finish.
- Tropical High Hazy IPA (6.2% ABV): With a tropical breeze of mango, stone fruit, lime, and pine flavors, this isn’t a mirage, but a tasty refreshing oasis in your pursuit of haziness.
- Gone Trippin’ West Coast-style IPA (7% ABV): The style that started it all, Gone Trippin’ heads straight to the coast with its citrus and pine hop aromas paired with a malty backbone to stay on center.
- G13 Dank Double Hazy IPA (9% ABV): SweetWater’s signature one-two punch of piney, citrusy hops paired with authentic strain-specific terpenes creates a dank and juicy hybrid hazy IPA that’s ready to rip with an elevated ABV.
- G13 Hazy IPA (6% ABV): This draft-only brew features G13’s legendary dank and resinous aromas with a lower ABV.
- Goin’ Coastal Pineapple IPA (6.1% ABV): This pineapple-laced IPA delivers bright aromas from the Columbus, Cascade, Simcoe, Centennial and Citra hop additions, followed by a quick finish, just like those three-day weekends.
- Tropical Dub Hazy Double IPA (8.5% ABV): This hazy, juicy, double dry-hopped IPA hits high notes of mango, passionfruit, pineapple, and pine with a nice dose of wheat and oats that create a smooth, easy-drinking experience.
- High Light IPA (4% ABV): A session IPA brewed with sticky Hop Hash to keep the flavor high, calories low, and ABV mellow, crisp and crushable.
- Blue Blueberry Wheat Ale (4.6% ABV): A fan-favorite classic from SweetWater, this easy-drinking ale features a subtle and appealing blueberry aroma and an extra clean finish.
- American Lager (4.5%): SweetWater American Lager isn’t meant to be complicated. This easy-drinking brew features a 100% pilsner grain bill to create a crispy, clean body with elevated spicy and floral hop notes that keep the alcohol and bitterness low.
- 420 Pale Ale family: SweetWater’s iconic 420 Pale Ale (5.7% ABV) is joined by three new styles inspired by the classic: 420 Citrus Haze Hazy Pale Ale (5.4% ABV), 420 Extra Chill Cold Pale Ale (4.5% ABV), and 420 Mango Crush Pale Ale (4.8% ABV).
