Sierra Nevada Brewery Adds

to Its Year-Round Lineup

One of America's first microbreweries is welcoming a new member to their world class beer portfolio: the Kellerweis Hefeweizen. Available in six packs and on draft for summer 2009, the Kellerweis is light and refreshing. Deep flavor complexity combines with hints of fruit, spice, banana and clove.

This hazy-golden beer is not your average Hefeweizen; it's one of the only American Hefeweizens to use the traditional Bavarian style of open fermentation to produce wheat beers. This process, although labor-intensive, is worth the effort and is more efficent and clean. Using open fermentation, the unique Bavarian yeast strain used to make Kellerweis has the opportunity to entice more flavors and aromas from the fermenting beer. And this process creates better tasting, quality beer for you.

To fully enjoy all the flavors of Sierra Nevada Kellerweis, pour two thirds of the bottle into a glass, swirl the bottle and pour the rest. Ask for it at your favorite watering hole!

Tennesseans to Experience Sweet

(or Hoppy) Taste of Victory Beer

Victory Brewing Company is now distributing their award-winning craft beers in Memphis, Tennnessee! Just in time for the Fourth of July, Memphians can taste nine of Victory's delicious beers distributed by Southwestern Beverage.

For refreshing and crisp taste, try a pint of the Whirlwind Witbier, Prima Pils or Victory Lager. For a bigger punch, try a fuller-bodied selection like Baltic Thunder, Godlen Monkey, Helios, Hop Wallop, WildDevil or V-12.

Although Victory is making its debut in Memphis this summer, its beginnings date back to 1973, where two childhood friends met on a schoolbus. In 1996, these two friends would create this acclaimed brewery and restaurant in Downington, Pennsylvania. Victory Brewing delivers fully-flavored, innovative beers that fuse European ingredients and technology with American creativity to 27 states. And they're not stopping any time soon!

Ask your local pub or major grocery store when you can start tasting your own pint of Victory. And stay tuned as Southwestern Beverage announces several kickoff events throughout the Memphis area!
