SweetWater Brewery

SweetWater Brewery is located at Ottley Drive in Atlanta, Georgia and is approximately 16 miles from the city's international airport. The brewery began life in Atlanta in 1997 when it was formed by two former roommates at the University of Colorado and eventually moved to its current location seven years later. Now there are several beers brewed here and visitors can take a tour of the place or plan a private function here.

Hosted tours of the brewery take place every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 5.30pm to 7.30pm and Saturdays from 2.30pm to 4.30pm. The tour lasts approximately 30 minutes and is followed by sampling of the beers. So long as visitors are over 21 they can sample and buy some of the merchandise. Occasionally live music is performed at the brewery on Fridays.

The active ales at the brewery include an extra pale ale, a light style wheat ale with a hint of blueberry and an American brown ale and there are seasonal ales produced here too. Visitors will find parking at the brewery and as part of the stay here they are given six drink tickets and get to keep the glass. There are a couple of Japanese eateries within a mile of the brewery as well as a delicatessen on Peachtree Road.
