Atlanta’s SweetWater Introduces Weed-Inspired Beer

Atlanta’s SweetWater brewery recently debuted a new IPA series inspired by marijuana. The 420 Strain: G13 IPA combines the hops and weed aroma to make a whole a new draft.

Let’s put this out there: Yes, the beer smells like marijuana, so if you don’t enjoy that distinct dank smell, this is not the brew for you.

From Sweetwater:

This aromatic super-hybrid sticky IPA is first and foremost a phenomenally delicious and drinkable beer, with the added bonus of an olfactory experience that mimics that of the legendary G13 cannabis strain. The IPA base brew has a great body, good head and nice amount of haze at a pleasurable 6% ABV. To work with the malt bill, the brewers added some of their dankest hops, Columbus and Simcoe, plus two dry hop additions. To achieve the aroma, our brewers found the perfect botanically-sourced, strain specific terpenes and married them with propriety natural hemp flavor, both perfectly complementing the hops in the IPA.
