Beer Street Journal

@ChefReactions Brew house Inn & Suites. Pabst Blue Ribbon invented here. The brewery is now a hotel with the kettles still there. It’s a pilgrimage with beds and shots of Malort.

@AustinKarp Need to throw the Thrashers in this too. We did real drinking work in The Gulch for years. Hard to see it change.

Unreal transformation of The Gulch into Centennial Yards in downtown Atlanta. Gonna alter game days for Falcons, Hawks for sure. Plus a 5,300-seat Live Nation concert venue and newest Cosm

Either way. This tangerine wheat ale is available in 12oz cans, and draft starting in March🍊 MORE: bsj.me/5iw

The label says tangerine, but the Georgia Kiss is a locally grown variety (Statesboro) of a mandarin orange that has traits of a tangerine. It might confuse your tastebuds. That's some fruit knowledge for you.

The latest spring seasonal from @sweetwaterbrew has arrived. This is "Georgia Kisses" 🍑 💋

Piña Yacht Water is hitting shelves. In time for 80 degree spring days in Atlanta. 🍍 Pineapple + reposado tequila from Sneaky Pete Spirits, co-owned by @lilyachty & Coach K bsj.me/5iv

Chicago's beer scene just shifted seemingly for the better: beerstreetjournal.com/half-acre-mapl…

This move is all about bringing equals to the table. The names, taprooms, beer and spirits lineups remain unchanged. The production backend and distribution will be shared. Protecting everything consumer-facing.

MERGER: @HalfAcreBeer & @maplewoodbeer have announced they are combining efforts instead of downsizing, cashing out, or closing down 🧵

Full story + where BrewDog stands one week into the Tilray era👇 beerstreetjournal.com/brewdog-atlant…

Negotiations for BrewDog's U.S. assets are still ongoing. Atlanta didn't wait for the paperwork. It's the first American casualty. Las Vegas, Ohio, and Colorado are still open.

BrewDog Atlanta has left the Beltline. No warning. No farewell party. Just an Instagram post and a locked door. 🧵

Seen some dumb stuff in Vegas but this one is new territory beerstreetjournal.com/drunk-man-stea…

A billion+ dollar brand at peak (at least the UK/ international assets) sold for $44 million. For now, the Equity for Punks investors walk away empty handed. beerstreetjournal.com/tilray-acquire…

US & Australia assets (Ohio brewery, bars in Atlanta, Vegas, Columbus, etc.) not included yet—separate negotiations ongoing. Tilray expects the full integration to push their beverage platform to ~$500M annual revenue and add $200M net revenue

The most “punk” thing BrewDog ever did? Take $100M from 200,000 loyal fans via Equity for Punks… then sell the core business for $44M and leave those crowdfunders with zero return. Thread 👇
