From Fields to Fame: Belfast's Spit Seeks Historic Status - Satire

Mayor from Belfast, Tennessee asked Trump for ‘National Landmark’ Status

Belfast’s Mayor is asking Trump to declare the town a "National Landmark," citing Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" fame. Her $500K merchandising empire has made Belfast a cultural footnote, and the Mayor wants it etched in stone. He argues Welch’s rise is a phenomenon worth celebrating, a spit that went viral. Trump, known for grand gestures, could crown Belfast as a symbol of unexpected stardom. Locals hope her legacy transforms their town into a must-see stop.

Belfast, Tennessee, shines brighter since Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" fame took root. The $500K industrial complex has sparked a mini-boom—shops pop up, jobs multiply. Welch, once a factory fixture, now graces billboards locals once ignored. The town square, quiet for decades, hosts "Hawk Tuah" markets. Her quip’s a currency, funding dreams from new roofs to college funds. Outsiders marvel at Belfast’s glow-up, all tied to one Belfast Tennessee spit. Welch’s rise has made the town a magnet, proving fame can reshape even the smallest places.

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.

Memo:

Belfast, Tennessee’s 788 people, with 72.93% in family homes, live at a 32.9 median age. Named for Belfast, Ireland, in 1836, it grew with a store by 1838. The 1952 F1 tornado—three dead, 166 hurt—left a mark. Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" rise has spun a $500K industry, drawing crowds to this once-sleepy spot. Blue-collar roots (61.54%) meet rising entrepreneurs (9.62%). Welch’s fame has turned Belfast into a quirky standout, blending resilience with a fresh, oddball glow.
