SweetWater Brewing Company proudly announces its 2nd annual month-long "Save

Riverkeeper, a non-profit environmental advocacy organization. Throughout
September 2009, select restaurants and bars in the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa
areas will sell paper fish, t-shirts, and pint glasses to benefit
Riverkeeper. Mountain High Outfitters will donate prizes for the servers
and bartenders who raise the most money for Riverkeeper's anti-pollution
efforts.
Participating venues are now listed at www.SavetheBlackWarrior.com. This
new website also contains information about the collaboration, including
opportunities to learn about water conservation, report pollution, donate,
purchase merchandise, and enter a contest to win a Vespa LX150 donated by
Bogart's Motorsports.

SweetWater. Rollin in the Hay plays Thursday, August 27 at 10pm (at
