Terrapin & Heavy Seas Breweries Memorialize Decatur Resident Brittney Fox Watts
Decatur Metro | September 12, 2011
J_T sends along this link to a BeerStreetJournal post that announces Terrapin and Heavy Seas latest collaboration beer, “Free Spirit”, in memory of Brittney Fox Watts, who was senselessly killed in a Midtown parking deck in July. According to the post, Watts has relatives at both breweries. Here’s the text on the label…
We encourage you to DABBLE in this collaboration ale brewed in LOVING memory of Brittney Fox Watts, a member of both the Heavy Seas and Terrapin FAMILIES.
In true Farmhouse FASHION, this FREE-SPIRITED memorial ale celebrates her PASSION for anything UNIQUE, FRESH, CREATIVE, and maybe a little bit CRAZED. Free Spirit has a BIG HEART and a BEAUTIFUL SOUL.
Keep and OPEN-MIND and TRUST your palate, we believe this beer will make you SMILE. This one’s for you, Brittney. Cheers!
Commenters on BeerStreetJournal with apparent close connections to Ms. Watts are already praising this tribute.

This is a nice tribute from two top-notch breweries. Can’t wait to pick it up!
Very nice tribute. Makes me wonder what kind of beer I would like to have memorialize me.
A very smooth palate but leaves a FUN tingle in your stomach…a great drink to cheer you up!
I take it she was a Phish fan. Unfortunately never made her acquaintance and it sounds like I was really missing out.
Farmhouse ale? Every man returns to dust.
RIP
I would be smiling in my grave if received a tribute such as this after my passing.
