Sour Me Unicorn Farts Returns (Baltimore, MD) – From its name, to its unique flavor, a legend is returning to retail shelves in May. A collaboration between Baltimore-based DuClaw Brewing and Diablo Doughnuts, home to the notorious ‘Unicorn Farts’ doughnut, DuClaw Sour Me Unicorn Farts is a one-of-a-kind 5.5% ABV Sour Ale brewed with fruity cereal and edible glitter.
Now available in 32 states, Sour Me Unicorn Farts is celebrating its third year to market in a meaningful way. DuClaw released a variant that raised more than $20,000 to fight colon cancer as part of their “Give a Crap” Challenge.
“We are queued up, and ready to produce the highest volume of Sour Me Unicorn Farts ever made, in preparation to serve the widest distribution demand ever thanks to our partnership with Brew Pipeline,” said Elizabeth Hanfman, DuClaw’s vice president. “We couldn’t be more grateful for the growing demand and unrelenting enthusiasm from our devoted Unicorn Farts fans.”

“We’ve been having a lot of fun with hazy IPAs the past few years with our Joose Cannon taproom releases,” explains Heavy Seas Brewmaster Christopher Leonard. “So, we thought we’d take it up a notch with a fruity, juicy, hazy Double IPA for this project. We’re using novel hop varieties Lotus and Cashmere, Southern Hemisphere Galaxy and Enigma, and of course the mainstay Citra to impart a myriad of tropical and citrus aromas for this fun but powerful brew.”
Living The Life (Kihei, Hawaii) – Hawaii’s largest craft brewery and 100% in Hawaii, Maui Brewing has a new limited release collaboration that they did with Roadhouse Brewing Company of Jackson Hole, WY.
