Crooked Hammock Brewery is excited to announce the return of Shark Party, a mixed berry sour that pours deep red and honors the ocean’s apex predator. The beer clocks in at a modest 6.5% ABV and contains lactose to keep the “ripe raspberry refresher” soft and sweet on the tongue. It will be available in 16-ounce cans and on draft at all three Crooked Hammock locations; the Shark Party pre-sale begins on July 20.
Not coincidentally, Shark Party is set to release at the same time of Discovery’s insanely popular Shark Week programming. Crooked Hammock will pull out all the stops — and Jawsome goodness — during three festive fin-tastic release parties on July 27 from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., including a special VIP guest at their North Myrtle Beach, SC location. Save the date. Here are the juicy details:
In addition, the North Myrtle Beach, SC brewpub will feature a special presentation by Dr. Kim Ritchie from the University of South Carolina at Beaufort. She is a well-respected marine biologist who studies aquatic life and coral reef organisms, climate and oceanic change, and the role of beneficial microbes. Also, look out for a special appearance from the Myrtle Beach Pelicans Rally Shark.
Shark Party is a favorite beer from Crooked Hammock’s limited-edition Seeker Series which tugs at the outer reaches of our taste buds. These “yonder beers” challenge both brewer and drinker to test their comfort zone: sometimes stronger, always bolder and prone to cult followings.
“Sharks are the ultimate apex predators, and the crazy cult following around them keeps growing,” says Crooked Hammock owner Rich Garrahan. “We plan to honor sharks, the oceans they live in, and the myths behind them — safe in our brewery on dry land, of course — while getting into the spirit of Shark Week.”
