This Alpharetta, GA brewery is coming hard with the hops!
Whaddup!The team over at Jekyll Brewing and I go way back; I have had the privilege of visiting, hanging out and covering them a few times. It is amazing how they have grown since I wrote and shot this Lifestyle Publications piece on them a couple years ago. Well since then, they have expanded and now are getting extra serious about brewing dope IPAs. Representative Jason Dominy was gracious to bring a four-pack of their delicious, all-new 4HUNDY IPA before I hit the Blue Ridge Mountains for my birthday and now I hear the Southern Juicy Juice might be even better! Below is the Juice's official press release and description J.D. sent me. I can't wait to try it when it launches tomorrow!
Congrats to Jekyll on their success and a special shout out to Lou, Josh, Michael, his lovely wife and the rest of the staff over there!
Cheers!

Jekyll Brewing Launches Southern Juicy Juice, A New IPA
Jekyll
Brewing is launching a new hazy, citrus-forward IPA called ‘Southern Juicy
Juice.’
Jekyll Brewing announced today a new IPA, Southern Juicy Juice. In the same family as their wildly popular
Southern Juice, Southern Juicy Juice has an eruption of pineapple, grapefruit
and tangerine. Its body is dense and fluffy, similar to other popular
“NE-Style” IPAs. And at only 6% ABV, it’s very drinkable and refreshing.
Southern Juicy Juice is another beer that was birthed by the freedom that was
given to craft breweries on September 1st, 2017, when breweries could
sell beers on site in their taprooms, giving them the opportunity to brew more
styles and varieties of beers that are smaller batch beers.
Southern Juicy Juice will be packaged in 16-ounce cans and available in
1/6 bbl. kegs. It will be available year-round,
but only sold fresh.
Michael Lundmark, CEO and founder of Jekyll Brewing, says, “I am more
excited about this product launch than I have been about any other product we
have brought to market. It has over five pounds of hops per barrel to really
bring the juicy notes forward. With the new law changes in Georgia, we have
been able to really put our R&D to work in our tap room. Having 26 taps
flowing in our tap room definitely differentiates us as a brewery in Georgia; it
also forces us to ‘up’ our game with creativity and max flavor beer offerings.
Juicy Juice is hands down among the best beers I have ever had and I can’t
wait to share it with everyone. Our brewmaster Josh Rachel has set a new bar
for Jekyll Brewing. The future for Georgia beer is bright.”
