Pontoon Brewing, a revered craft brewery nestled in Sandy Springs, Georgia, has recently made headlines in the brewing industry. Following a ruling by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Pontoon Brewing has announced the termination of its brewing partnership with Community Brewing Venture, LLC (Bevana Partners). This decision stems from alleged breaches of contract and non-payment issues, reflecting Pontoon Brewing's commitment to maintaining integrity in its business dealings.

Unfortunately, this legal development has led to the closure of Pontoon Brewing's Tucker facility, which was poised to become a key production hub for the brewery's expansion plans. Despite this setback, Pontoon Brewing remains steadfast in its determination to overcome challenges and emerge stronger.

Looking ahead, Pontoon Brewing is eager to resume its distribution activities starting in May. The brewery is set to reintroduce its acclaimed brand, Rainbow Smiggles, alongside its signature beer offerings. With a renewed focus, Pontoon Brewing will prioritize its taproom experience and localized distribution efforts. This strategic shift will include the launch of new taproom events, a continued emphasis on IPAs, the introduction of a specialty IPA bar, as well as offerings such as barrel-aged stouts, fruit-infused sours, refined lagers, non-alcoholic beverages, and ready-to-drink cocktails.

To me, pickle beers are terrific (if done well), but are best suited to sour beer styles that can accentuate their zesty flavors. However, I think most things are better in beer form, so that might affect my opinion on that!
