Saltwater Brewery to bring LocAle to cans

Saltwater Brewery of Delray Beach has been receiving a lot of press for the edible sixpack rings they are rolling out.  Saltwater’s year-round offerings have been anchored by Screamin’ Reels IPA and Sea Cow Milk Stout, but soon there will be a third ale in the core offerings, making this a trinity: LocAle Session Ale.  Clocking in at 4.7% alcohol, LocAle is a lighter ale and will pair well with the hot outdoor Florida season.

From Saltwater Brewery:

We’ve officially launched our THIRD canned beer…LocAle! 3.7%, and super light and refreshing, LocAle is an all-day drinking beer, perfect for the boat, beach, golf course, or wherever the Florida lifestyle takes you! Come grab a six pack from the Tasting Room. LocAle will be available in the market later this month.

Hootie & the Blowfish to play concert celebrating the release of Hootie’s Homegrown Ale

Press Release: Hootie and the Blowfish will reunite for a concert in Tampa this September, in conjunction with the launch of the band’s custom craft beer, Hootie’s Homegrown Ale, at Publix grocery stores in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

Hootie’s Homegrown Ale has been available for the past 18 months in draft form, but now the band’s brew is available in 12-ounce cans at select retailers in three southeastern states.

“Getting Hootie’s Homegrown Ale on grocery store shelves is a huge step for the evolution of our company,” said Kevin Lilly, founder of Rock Brothers Brewing.  “Having a retail giant like Publix embrace this brand shows the quality of our product and the interest in our band beer platform.”

As part of the three-state roll out, the band agreed to perform a special concert at the Mahaffey Theater, explained Mark Zenow of Cord Management, the firm that handles artist relations for Rock Brothers Brewing.

“This is a special opportunity to showcase the band’s beer and revisit the great songs that touched so many people,” Zenow said.

The concert will take place on September 17th and tickets to the 2,000-seat venue will be available via an online ticket giveaway hosted by Rock Brothers Brewing. For information, visit www.hootiecontest.com.

Rock Brothers Brewing has been creating craft beers for the past three years with bands like Have Gun Will Travel, JJ Grey & Mofro, Umphrey’s McGee, 311 and the newly added, Rebelution.  However, this marks the first major retail partnership for the brand and places Rock Brothers Brewing in highly-coveted retail space.

Hootie’s Homegrown Ale will also be available at Total Wine & More, The Brass Tap, World of Beer retail outlets, Luekens Liquors, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, Whole Foods and The Fresh Market.
