Awesome tried to get a beer from the restaurant in the ATL airport but it was freaking packed.

Not a bad brewery, but nothing I'd go out of my way to get.

In due time. And that's all I can say about that.

Wow I can't believe y'all haven't had sweet water. They make some really good beers. Don't float the mainstream

I really like the IPA but not a huge fan of 420. I live in Atlanta and make it to the brewery's happy hours quite often. It's a pretty substantial operation. They definitely have the capacity to distribute further than they have been.

Last year when i had it, i loved 420. This is great news.

Couple this with Southern Tier making its way down south. Good things ahead!

Have only had their 420 and IPA but enjoyed both. Looking forward to their LA arrival.

Had the tackle box over the holidays, a 4 variety 12-pk with the ipa, 420, rye ipa, and porter. All were good. The more craft brew in LA the better.

My thoughts exactly. Very happy to have them coming here though.

I saw the first two names listed on their release and knew that they didn't plan on coming here and didn't even bother to read the press release. Glad to hear. I bugged them once or twice on FB too ad while back when I heard they were expanding.

None of their beers are out of this world good but it is a very good middle of the road type beer and isn't crazy expensive.

Danktank and 420 are solid. Georgia brown is good as well

Don't get me wrong, I love sweetwater, i drink the hell out of it

I was more saying you wont see any award winning or extremely sought after brews.

I do think a couple of their catch and release/dank tank side projects are pretty damn good.

I prefer the blue for just normal drinking.

They need better beer selection @ the Ted.
HF burger was pretty tight.
