nick ( the dude on the right ) is our head brewer and was sweetwater’s very first employee . throughout the past 17 years , he’s had just about every job you could imagine at the brewery before taking the gig as head brewer . nick has developed pretty tasty stuff in his time here , and is most proud of taking home a gold medal at the world beer cup in 2010 for his barrel aged sour . oh , did we mention he’s got some kind of spidey - sense that can detect any beer over 9 % abv by making the hairs on his arms stand straight up ? weird , but true .
mark ( the dude on the left ) is our brewmaster . he got his start homebrewing in college at virginia tech and began testing out his recipes on his buddies at parties ( surely , they didn’t mind ) . he started out as an engineer installing brewery control systems and knew there was no going back . he hit the books again to get a master’s in a brewer’s program at uc davis . mark then got his wings at goose island brewing co . ( pun intended ) before joining the sweetwater fam in atlanta . he’s a hophead at heart and has been known for his mean jump shot ( in case you were wondering ) .
from big kahuna freddy bensch : back at the original brewery off of fulton industrial , we had a 50 - bbl tank of beer which had just finished fermenting and underwent two days of conditioning . suddenly , a pinhole leak developed at the door gasket that we were unable stop , no matter how hard we tried . there was no possible way to move the beer , and after several unsuccessful attempts to stop the leak throughout two days , we just had to drink it ! it was the never - ending beer fountain of 420 . the dog was on it , everyone was on it . it was either a long , slow death or a big party depending how you look at it .
as the music fills the park , attendees of all ages can also check out eco - friendly and environmentally themed on - site events and activities . in an effort to teach patrons to learn easy sustainable ways to integrate earth friendly practices back to their community and homes , planet 420 presented by gas south will be filled with more than fifteen local , regional and national non - profit and environmental organizations . other eco - friendly partners include change of atmosphere , who specialize in organizing exhibits and forums for activism that included yoga in park , grease to diesel demonstrations , eco art , sustainable living forums , solar energy exploration , activism through music , alternate transportation in the atl , round table discussions for georgia’s energy future , youth climate activism , eco book building , water conservation measures and so much more .

12oz can , tulip , best by 8 / 27 / 18 . i’m not sure if they use a six month shelf life or another length of time ; use a canned on date !
glorious yeast - flaked haze , have mercy ! this orange gold beauty has a triple finger head that sticks around .
it’s got that juicy hoppiness that we all strive to find . lightly acidic , like a fresh navel orange slice that’s a little dank .
the body is thin , but still satisfies with a balance against small , creamy carbonation .
this is a great example of the american pale ale in the modern craft beer school . it may be better than the most well known , sierra .
pretty hazy gold in color with a thin head and very good lacing . has a fruity floral smell that is pleasant to the nose . i ' m picking up fruity sweet flavors on the tongue and light maltiness with mild to moderate hoppiness . delightful light creamy mouthfeel and the carbonation is just right . this is a wonderfully sweet fruity beer that is perfect for a hot summer day . light bodied in the right way . i highly recommend this beer !
flavor washes out a bit lending forward faint caramel grains , a bitter yet funny - sweet pine hop character , and hints of apple and orange peel .
overall not a beer i look forward to visiting again but people seem to love this brew .
poured from the can into a nonic pint glass . best before july 5th 2018… ooo getting close .
frothy and big soapy bright white head that forms out of the can , into a real fist tall height , and thick shampoo bubbles . some pretty good staying power with very little retention , even forms an island surprisingly . clear bodied , with a pale amber color . quite an excellent looking pale ale .
soft nose , perhaps faded hop , but still a good sense of light dank quality . a touch of brown sugar like caramel smelling malt hits as well , a bit lighter and not as bold or crisp sensing . good and solid aroma .
very impressive palate . light bodied , but with a sense of creamy texture and feel , giving to a nice malt sweetness . hop angle is actually more citrus orange tasting , mixing with touches of earth and a little bit of mint , particularly on the finish . excellent peppy mouthwash like flavor , but with a good sweetness .
why have i put off giving this brew a proper review ? man this is a very solid impressive american pale ale .
look : 4 | smell : 4 | taste : 4 | feel : 4 | overall : 4 . 25
served on delta international flights . free tick . pours out with a nice rocky head . golden body , light hoppy aroma . taste picks up more of the hops , hemp notes , earthy . not bad .

look : 5 | smell : 4 | taste : 4 | feel : 4 | overall : 4 . 25
flavor is pretty plain , lots of floaters , very little carbonation almost flat .
pours out a honey color with an off - white head that dissipates rather quickly . lacing is non - existent .
there are some light tropical hops notes in the nose . sweet orange comes to mind . semi bitter with grains .
taste like bitter tropical fruits . not overpowering at all . it has a nice lemon zest in the finish that lingers a bit .
the mouthfeel is pretty damn smooth with some pleasant carbonation . it ' s an easy drinker .

figuring it out as we go , and making kick ass beers along the way . we ' re not here for a long time . . . we ' re here for a good time . gotta be 21 + to like .
sales representative in northern california ( alameda county and other delta pacific territory ) - barley forge brewing co .
since today is our 17th birthday , we figured we’d fill ya in on 17 random facts you probably didn’t know about us .
our head beer gods are some pretty cool guys who go by the names of mark medlin and nick nock .
we always emphasize the importance of water . it’s the first , and main ingredient in beer .
when it’s time to create a newborn brew , it’s usually because we ( nick and brewmaster mark ) are inspired , ready for a new product , or if we think it would be a cool idea . we then study and sample existing beers in this style and concoct prototype recipes . once we’ve got our formulas finalized , we combine them to make one harmonious method for our new brew . from there , it’s game on and we crank out 220 + barrels .
with the dank tank , it is a one shot deal . with the seasonal brews , we brew it more than once so we could tweak it on the second batch , but rarely does that happen .
the friendly folks at neighbors pub in virginia highlands were the first to put our brews in the game back in ’97 .
you guys feel mighty comfortable paying us a visit at the brewery and we feel mighty happy laying down the welcome mat . it’s estimated that we’ve given more than 12 , 000 tours since we started , letting curious brew fans peruse the place and wet their whistles . now that we’ve expanded to make more room for you and your friends , we see about 2 , 000 smiling fans who are sippin’ on about 35 kegs per week ( depending on season ) . that adds up to more 100 , 000 folks per year !
we have a quality assurance team dedicated to making sure our beers are so fresh and so clean for y’all . on average , our taste panel samples and releases 4 - 6 batches daily ( yup , people actually get paid to taste beer ) . each batch of beer is physically and chemically tested more than 200 times before released .
we send out roughly 45 trucks jam - packed with our heady brews per week . that’s a lot of liquid love on the southeastern roads headed to coolers near you ! these fancy 18 - wheelers are a far cry from the original dairy truck that could only load up a couple kegs at a time . and that’s all thanks to y’all , so cheers !
these words to live by came to freddy in a dream and it’s the way we’ve been running the place ever since .
believe it or not , we had about 25 different couples get hitched here in 2013 . three of those pairs had deeper ties to our brews ; as they met during a tour and tasting . we’re going to go ahead and say we weren’t the best at record - keepin’ long before then , so it’s hard to grasp how many many couples have tied the knot over the years . but we can say , if you’re ready to share your beers for the rest of your life with that special someone…the tasting room seems to have some real love makin’ powers . so here’s a toast to new beginnings and happy endings !
the inspiration behind the dank tank was , and still is , to enable us to continue to be creative as brewers and have fun from a marketing perspective . of course we love to make the core brands that support the brewery , but at the end of the day , we’re brewers and want to be able to challenge ourselves with new styles and flavors . this one - off series features limited run high - grav beers , and a chance for us to unleash new flavors and styles for our fans .
as for the story on what that crazy lookin’ creature on the bottle , he / she goes by el danko , purveyor of our strange brews . always interesting and always down for a good time . the weirder the better for this strange soul !
according to freddy : i grew up around the water and studied environmental sciences in college before heading off to the brewing school in california . when we arrived in atlanta to start the brewery , we sought some cool relief in the local rivers . these waterways were , and still are , our community’s backyard where we swim , kayak , paddle board , fish , and drink . we were concerned about the water quality of these rivers based on what we were accustomed to out west . we wanted to use the brewery to make a positive impact on the community and working with waterkeeper alliance was one of the most logical ways to give back . environmental responsibility is ingrained in our personalities and our culture , not to mention the quality of our beer . plus , clean water makes up 90 percent of it . reason enough !
that paw print is from badger , freddy’s dog who pretty much served as the mascot / office manager / greeter of the original brewery .
want to help us celebrate 17 years of being older and wiser ( well that’s debatable ) ? grab your party pants and head on down to the brewery this sunday , feb . 23 and help us blow out the candles and break into our cellared stash . we’ll be getting funky with like a locomotive and debuting our 17th anniversary saison – reason enough to come out and hang . find us on facebook for all of the party details .

it had rained in atlanta every single day of the week leading up to the festival’s kick - off friday . the weather left centennial olympic park , home of the 1996 summer olympics , a virtual mud pit . even the walkways were a slip ’n slide of muck .
but there was no way the storms , and even a sunday tornado watch , was slowing this festival down . here are seven reasons the rain couldn’t stop this party :
as soon as i saw it , i had to have it . it’s gorgeous . it shines in the sun ( once it finally came out sunday ) . this giant a * * mug cost $ 20 , and you could drink unlimited non - alcoholic beverages all day . and don’t worry — you get to take it home with you , so then you can add the alcohol to that coca - cola next time .
because beer , learning and music can take a lot out of you . sometimes , you just need to rest , bro .
snoop dogg . 311 . primus . mark broussard . the wailers . delta rae . they’re all here , in the heart of downtown atlanta , playing one of the three stages set up at the park . screw the tornado watch . this is a party you didn’t want to miss .
