Atlanta-based SweetWater Brewing Company, which opened a Fort Collins taproom and production facility this month, has acquired two California breweries.
According to a press release, Alpine Beer’s highly-rated Duet and Nelson brews, along with Green Flash’s iconic West Coast IPA will join SweetWater’s portfolio. “We have a lot of respect for both brands, which along with SweetWater have a passion for tasty brews and a great time,” said Freddy Bensch, co-founder and CEO of SweetWater.
“The West Coast lifestyle that is part of these brewery’s DNA perfectly aligns with our 420 lifestyle and SweetWater’s brand. We’re looking forward to keeping the legacy of these great brands intact, and bringing them back to prominence, furthering their potential, and bringing them to craft beer fans across the U.S.,” Bensch continued.
“As SweetWater continues to expand, alongside our new partners we’re looking forward to growing these iconic brands and strengthening operations to deliver some of the best tasting and highest-quality brews to all of our fans across the U.S. and around the world,” Bensch said.
The new Fort Collins facility at 1020 East Lincoln Ave. is set to begin production for distribution in early 2022.
