The fourth limited-edition beer from Sheetz is Watt-Ahh-Melon Ring, a watermelon wheat beer brewed with over 100 pounds of Sheetz gummy rings. As part of its limited-edition series, Sheetz has collaborated with different brewing companies and this time around, it opted to partner with Virginia's Hardywood Park.
The Sheetz Project Watt-Ahh-Melon Ring comes in at 5.3% ABV and it's described as "a light and refreshing tart watermelon wheat ale" that balances sweet flavors with a bit of heat. The craft beer was inspired by the Hardywood’s brewmaster and cofounder Patrick Murtaugh's idea of making a beer from watermelon candy and this new brew offers a new way for people to appreciate the Sheetz gummy watermelon rings.
Previously, Sheetz has created limited-edition craft beers like Hop Dog and Brewberry Muffinz.
