Atlanta brewery crafts fundraising beer for breast cancer program
Atlanta taproom event features new charity beer
SweetWater Brewing Company is releasing a new beer named Hooked on Hope. The brew was created in partnership with Casting for Recovery Georgia, a nonprofit providing free fly fishing retreats for women with breast cancer.
ATLANTA - Atlanta’s own SweetWater Brewing Company is launching a new brew this week — and its perfectly-crafter flavor isn’t the only reason to stop by and take a sip.
This morning on Good Day Atlanta, we spent a few hours at SweetWater’s Atlanta brewery to get a first taste of Hooked on Hope, the new beer brewed in partnership with Casting for Recovery — Georgia. A portion of the proceeds from every purchase of Hooked on Hope throughout October will go to the local chapter of the national nonprofit, which holds no-cost fly-fishing retreats for women with breast cancer. The retreats are typically open to women at any stage of treatment or recovery, and use the motion of fly casting as a form of physical therapy. The Georgia program will host its 22nd retreat this coming November in Helen.
SweetWater Brewing Company will host a launch party for Hooked on Hope this coming Thursday, October 1st, at its Atlanta taproom and kitchen (195 Ottley Drive Northeast), with a family-friendly happy hour from 4:20 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., followed by a fly-fishing film festival. Film festival tickets are $20 and support the Georgia program — click here for more information.
