Breaking News: Craft Beer Gets Its Groove On with Potent ‘Weed Light’ Brews!
In a world where marijuana has slowly slinked out of the shadows like a cat that just knocked over your favorite vase, North America is finally embracing its greener side. Thirty-three states now throw open the doors to cannabis like it’s the VIP room at a club, while Canada gallantly takes the crown for fully legalizing good ol’ Mary Jane. Meanwhile, it seems that big beers are feeling a bit jealous and are preparing to crash this mellow party one hoppy sip at a time.
Leading this boozy charge is, believe it or not, a craft brewery from Georgia, a state where anything to do with cannabis is usually treated like an alien invasion! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, meet Atlanta’s very own SweetWater Brewing Company, the official mascot for the 420 lifestyle—and no, they don’t mean the toll road! Their flagship beer, the 420 Extra Pale Ale, celebrated its 22nd birthday last April 20th, because when you truly love something, you just have to embrace its birthday like every stoner does: by consuming nachos and arguing about which cartoon character they relate to most.
But wait! They’ve taken their craft brews and added a sprinkle of mad science to the mix, creating the G13 IPA, the first brew in its oh-so-fancy “marijuana strain-specific” lineup. Confused yet? Don’t worry! We were too until we learned that this beer smelled like a blend of Willie Nelson and someone’s unkempt basement while tasting like 100% quality IPA. It’s essentially what would happen if your beer attended a hemp convention and came back with a sweet new cologne, but without any of the actual marijuana. Surprise!
You heard that right: There’s not a single whiff of THC, CBD, or even the faintest hint of a munchie within these suds. Instead, they’re plucking scents from terpenes—those fancy-sounding compounds that sound like the name of a rare plant found only in Middle Earth. These mystical oils smell nature-approved and won’t get you high but can totally confuse your nose into thinking you’ve been spontaneously teleported to a Snoop Dogg concert.
SweetWater’s communications guru, Tucker Berta Sarkisian (seriously, who doesn’t want a last name like that?), said, “We didn’t want it to be a gimmick.” Honestly, when you’re mixing perfectly fruited hops with the aroma reminiscent of rolling around in a marijuana patch, it’s amazing they got it past the gimmick filter at all!
The brewing team apparently channeled their inner Einstein and decided it was time to play mad scientist: “Let’s throw things together and see what doesn’t explode!” So, through trial and error, they combined their precious hops with terpenes until the scent was more convincing than that friend who always insists they can straight-up summon pizza with sheer willpower.
And like any good craft brewery, they are already planning to expand their lineup. In sweet-sounding news, fans can eagerly await their upcoming Chocolope Stout—the brew that’s destined to hit shelves faster than laundry can pile up during binge-watching sessions! Who says we can’t be classy with our beer and still talk about it over nachos?
So, you could casually sip your SweetWater 420 Strain beers while pondering the profound question: “Am I actually getting all the benefits of weed, or is this just my brain playing tricks on me?”
In any case, cheers to the fusion of hops and ‘weed-light’ aromas! May you hop in hand enjoy totally not-really-pot-flavored beers with the cheerful optimism only a true connoisseur can muster. Who knew that getting a whiff of the party while keeping the night totally sober could be so much fun? 🍻✨
