ATLANTA — A bet is a bet and Atlanta’s SweetWater Brewery is making good on its end.
Before the Super Bowl, the brewery made a friendly wager with the Boston-based Samuel Adams – the losing team will name a beer after the winner.
And we know what happened on that night. We won't go there.
Flash-forward to this week. Patriot ale is here.
The brewery made 100 of the “god-awful” cans at their facility for souvenir beer.

“We made good on the bet with Sam Adams and, even though it was painful, put Patriots ale on tap here at the brewery the week after the Super Bowl. We did a limited run of cans and released those at the tour [Tuesday night] as part of our souvenir beer options – the brewery doors opened at 5:30, and by 6:30 they were gone. Can’t be certain if there are that many Patriots fans in Atlanta, or if Falcons fans just wanted to pour them down the drain and crush the cans,” the brewery said in a statement.
A hilarious Twitter exchange started after a metro Atlanta gas station pulled all Samuel Adams off the shelves until after the Super Bowl on Feb. 5.
.@SamuelAdamsBeer Let's #riseup the stakes and force the loser to rename a beer after the winners team. Dirty Bird Lager has a nice ring
