ATLANTA—SweetWater’s Dank Tank is bringing the heat with its steamy new limited-release, Red Hot Mama. Brewers hopped up this Imperial Red Ale to draw out some fierce flavor with a super smooth finish. Red Hot Mama will roll out red-hot onto shelves the week of Oct. 14.

Story goes, Red Hot Mama was one bad chick who liked to have her way with the boys on the farm. She used and abused one particular hop farmer before hitchin’ a ride to Atlanta with a dress full of fresh hops. While looking for a new soul to steal, she met her match with El Danko. When things got steamy, clothes and hops flew all over the brewhouse. The load of fresh Centennial hops was scooped up by SweetWater’s brewers and the rest is history!

This scorchin’ American style Imperial Red is brewed with Two Row, Pilsner, Cara Munich, Chocolate,Midnight Wheat, and Wheat malts; fresh, wet Centennial hops, Chinook, Cascade, Willamette and Mt. Hood hops; and then dry hopped with Centennial and Willamette. The brew includes more than two pounds of hops per barrel and brings the heat at 8.6 percent ABV. ¡Muy caliente!

“Red Hot Mama is a hop forward Imperial Red, with a malty sweetness on the nose,” said SweetWater Head Brewer Nick Nock. “It gives a beautiful tingle on the tongue, starting really big from the fresh hop additions, and then finishing low and slow.”

Fans will find the beer on draft taps and in 22-ounce bombers at participating accounts and retailers throughout the Southeast. Red Hot Mama will be riding on though, so drinkers are reminded to get their hands on this good lookin’ gal before she’s gone.

The Price Is Wrong (9%) is a Belgian-style pale ale and the latest release in the Dank Tank series from SweetWater Brewing Co.

(Press Release)

ATLANTA—The folks at SweetWater Brewing Co. are unveiling a big prize behind door number 420 – a new release from their infamous Dank Tank series, The Price is Wrong. The latest item up for bid out of El Danko’s lineup is a funky Belgian Strong Pale Ale promising nothing but big wins for drinkers on contestants’ row.

The bronze Belgian behemoth is turning up with 79 IBUs and 9% ABV on the big wheel. With a malt bill including Maris Otter, Pilsner, 2-row and wheat, the beer pours a bright golden color. It’s balanced out with herbal and pine notes from Nugget, Centennial and Simcoe hops, and then dry-hopped with Simcoe and Amarillo to give it a citrus nose.

“The Price is Wrong is a classic style Belgian with a SweetWater twist. We’ve enhanced it with some of our favorite hops to bridge two styles together for a big refreshing beer,” said SweetWater’s head brewer Nick Nock. “It’s made with Belgian yeast which is really exciting for us as brewers because it’s complex, reacting with fermentation temperatures giving off a different flavor and aroma with each degree. Be careful though, this drinkable beer is packing a punch!”

The backstory of the beer is highlighted on the label and features Danky’s latest shenanigans as a caddy for Boob Barker. After a golf course scuffle with the game show legend, the Dankster finds himself on stage playing Cliff Hanger through a rigged spot as a contender on the Price is Wrong. He ends up taking home one of Barker’s Belgian beauties, conceives love-child Barnold Schwarzenkegger and the rest is history!

This biggun’ will be barreling out in 22-ounce bombers and on draft taps throughout the Southeast beginning the week of Aug. 12. Locals can sip on samples at the brewery’s weekly tours beginning Thursday, Aug. 8. As with all Dank Tank series brews, it’s a limited run, so fans are encouraged to pick them up, quaff them down or store them in their cellar while they can. If the price is wrong, we don’t want to be right!
