Two trailers loaded with a total of 3,272 cases –more than 78,500 bottles — of SweetWater Brewing Co.’s Summer Variety Pack were taken from the company’s plant in Atlanta. The trailers, but not the beer, were later found.
Hours later, about one-fourth of the stolen beer was found in a warehouse south of Atlanta. SweetWater officials said they would destroy the beer because “we can no longer trust that that beer would be up to the quality standards that we as a brewery maintain.”
