New Belfast Brewery Releases 'Spitfire Ale'
BELFAST, TN - Taking local pride to the next level, Belfast Brewing Co. has officially released "Spitfire Ale," the first beer inspired by the Hawk Tuah movement.
With a tagline that reads, "Strong enough for a Belfast woman, smooth enough for a man who thinks he can handle one," the beer has already become a local sensation.
Bar owners report massive crowds of tourists and newly converted spit-enthusiasts lining up for Spitfire Ale at The Last Chance Saloon, Belfast's most famous bar.
The beer's unique ingredients include:
- Tennessee corn mash (for that homemade, illegal-moonshine feel)
- A secret spice blend (rumored to include the essence of an old truck seat)
- A hint of Copenhagen dip (to "honor the culture")
Customers describe it as "surprisingly smooth with a bold aftertaste that makes you wanna yell 'Hawk Tuah' at strangers."
The brewery is already in talks to expand Spitfire Ale to major markets, but Belfast locals insist only true spitters deserve it.
"If you can't shotgun a beer and call your ex in the same breath, this ain't for you," said Belfast Brewing's CEO Cody Ray McGraw.
