Atlanta’s Sweetwater Brewing has announced the release of two new craft beers, both of which will be available beginning this month. TripleTail tropical IPA, and their latest Dank Tank, Torikumi wasabi infused blonde ale will be on draft and hit shelves in mid-June.

New Seasonal:  TripleTail Tropical IPA

The 5 hop additions give this beer its lush, tropical flavors and aroma.  SweetWater’s brewmaster Mark Medlin hand-selected these hops during harvest time; with Denali standing out as the one that would provide the big juicy, tropical, citrus flavors, while the bittering hop (Bravo) would give it the nice orange flavor.

Malts:  2-Row, Pilsner, Carapils

Bittering hops:  Bravo, Mosaic, Denali

Dry hops:  Mosaic, Denali, Waimea, Citra

Yeast:   House English Ale

ABV:  5.5%

New Dank Tank:  Torikumi

Telluride Brewing Co. brewmaster Chris Fish visited Atlanta to see what he and SweetWater head brewer Nick Nock could cook up for a collaboration brew. A trip up Buford Highway inspired the brewers to experiment with wasabi – added to a blonde ale, the wasabi provided some serious heat and a flavor profile that knocked the brewers’ mawashis off.  This is a beer to share with friends and experiment with – try pairing it with sushi, ginger, Japanese noodle dishes, or just some grilled chicken.

Malts:  2-Row, Wheat, Carapils, Rye Malt, Oat Flakes
