What you’ll experience: A 35 minute in-depth tour of The Woodlands, education on barrel aging process and traditions, barrel anatomy, yeasts and bacteria knowledge, foeder details, and scoop about what the future holds (special, limited release beers, including barrel aged and mixed fermentation brews). Followed by sampling of brews (some in-progress from The Woodlands, plus some from The Hatchery, our pilot system in the brewery).
About Through the Brambles, our first Woodlands Project release: A blend of naturally refermented blackberries, representative of a Rosé in color. Mouthfeel is light bodied, dry, tart and acidic with a balanced aroma consisting of oak, fruit, acidity and natural funk from the wild yeast and bacteria that were present on the skins of the fruit. This vibrant beer will mature and evolve with time and is 100% bottle conditioned
Get Heady Higher! 420 Now on All Delta Domestic + Many International Flights
As of November 1, more Delta passengers can fly refreshed with a SweetWater 420 Extra Pale Ale, now the national craft beer offering to most domestic U.S. markets as well as all flights to Canada, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. This partnership began in 2014 as a limited offering on seven select flights originating from their shared hometown of Atlanta.
“As Atlanta’s hometown airline, we are excited to expand our partnership with SweetWater – one of the city’s most renowned breweries,” said Allison Ausband, Delta’s Senior Vice President of In-Flight Service. “Delta is passionate about supporting local breweries from coast-to-coast and bringing regional food, wine and beer to the in-flight experience.”
In 2014, Delta became one of the first carriers to work with craft breweries across the country to serve a selection of beers from locally-known brands as part of its overall investment in the customer experience. Fast forward to present day, the airline serves more than 30 local and regional beers on board.

Oysters, Boards, & Beer, Oh MY!
Holy Smoke-y & the Brett, Batman! STANDUP Paddle Magazine featured a 20-page, full color article on our partnership with BOTE, focusing on both company’s efforts and support for clean water. This three year partnership has raised heavy funds for our SAVE OUR WATER campaign and other clean water initiatives. We hit up BOTE for a trip down the Hooch to the coast for some cold brews and fresh farmed oysters. STANDUP joined us for the paddle & camp trip for some R&R and important convos about clean water and the work being done to ensure the longevity of our rivers, streams, and oceans.
Check out some pics from the trip below. For more nitty gritty on the article, click here. To learn more about our SAVE OUR WATER campaign, visit our website.
Many thanks to BOTE for the amazing partnership and to STANDUP for the epic article. Cheers!

Surfrider Foundation’s Clean Water Initiative
Since brewing our first batch of 420 nearly 20 years ago, we’ve grown and evolved, but a few core things have remained exactly the same: We make great beer, have a fantastic time doing it, and we take care of the folks who take care of us and our planet.
That’s why our Save Our Water campaign is raising $100,000 to support five organizations who protect our natural resources and the places we like to play. One of those partner organizations is Surfrider Foundation, and more specifically their Clean Water Initiative.
Check out the 411 on Surfrider Foundation below, then keep scrollin’ to peep our co-branded schwag. Find out more about Save Our Water and how you can participate here.
Clean Water Initiative
Improving coastal water quality has been one of the Surfrider Foundation’s top priorities over the last 30 years. The Clean Water Initiative strives to protect our water resources and prevent pollution from reaching the ocean.
Ocean pollution is a serious problem. What is in our ocean water affects both the health of beachgoers and the sea creatures we love. For example, over 20,000 swim advisories and beach closures are issued every year to protect the health of beachgoers across the U.S. It’s unacceptable that a day at the beach could result in stomach flu, skin rashes, pinkeye, respiratory infections or worse.
Surfrider fights for clean water.
They protect our water resources and prevent pollution along our coasts and waterways through community engagement, water testing, planting ocean-friendly landscapes, and by advocating for holistic clean water solutions.
When you support the Surfrider Foundation, you support dedicated volunteers who are testing our ocean water for bacteria and toxins, raising public awareness and finding real solutions to ocean pollution through the Blue Water Task Force program.
You’ll also support the Ocean Friendly Gardens program, which prevents polluted runoff from reaching our ocean and local waterways, by simply planting landscapes that conserve water and filter pollution before they reach our beloved ocean.

A portion of proceeds from co-branded merch benefit our partner organizations.
