Misplaced in all of the beer business information of breweries shifting, closing, merging and being bought is the truth that Southern Grist Brewing Co. was purchased by Xul Beer Firm out of Knoxville late final 12 months. The acquisition included each of Southern Grist’s taprooms within the Nations and in East Nashville, and ultimately there can be a complete title and branding change to Xul. They plan to proceed brewing at the least a few of the legacy Southern Grist manufacturers in the meanwhile, however many of the manufacturing can be Xul merchandise.
Xul was a comparatively small brewery till it hit a house run with a brand new product line in 2023. The PB&J Mixtape sequence is described as a “gluten-free fruited bitter fermented beverage made with actual roasted peanuts.” Often launched at round 6.5 p.c ABV, this isn’t really a beer in any respect. It’s principally a flavored alcoholic seltzer, however that hasn’t stopped the merchandise from changing into so standard that individuals line up across the block to get a style of recent releases.
That’s as a result of PB&J Mixtapes are objectively scrumptious and strongly nostalgic for generations who grew up on Uncrustables. Over the previous few years, Xul has launched many alternative flavors within the sequence, beginning out with the stereotypical Harmony grape earlier than working by means of variants like banana, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, cherry and peach.
Now it’s Nashville’s flip, as each former Southern Grist areas will host the discharge of six totally different flavors of PB&J Mixtape on Friday, April 10, at 5 p.m. I’d recommend getting there early in the event you’re inquisitive about sampling the flavors listed above, excluding strawberry and peach.
Xul does promote a few of their merchandise in cans and kegs at retail, however I don’t consider PB&J Mixtape is on the market exterior of the brewery areas. So if you need it, that is your greatest likelihood. Try Southern Grist’s Fb web page for extra particulars, and good luck!
