The tasting room in the current location is incredible. There’s not a better production brewery I’ve every visited that is more inviting to visitors. That being said, this is a brewery first and foremost. It’s a great place for a tour, but after you pass the front room, it’s just concrete floors and brewing equipment, just like a brewery should be.

Good hang-out spot and pre-drink locale. A - Inside, too loud and crowded; Outside, live music, nice patio S - About as nice as they can be when they’re dealing with as many pours as they do S - It’s Sweetwater... of course it would be nice to have more choices and it would be cooler if the dank tank wasn’t twice as much as regular brews F - N/A V - Still a cheap date! O - Cool spot, maybe not as cool as when it was off Fulton Ind, but we all gotta move up sometime, right?

After a failed attempt to visit here, we showed up 45 minutes early and were able to get in with much ease. The staff was really friendly and informative. All the beers on tap are available elsewhere, but that’s okay. It’s a good selection anyway. The building is large, clean, efficiently set up, and decorated nicely. The tour of the actual brewing facility was pretty neat. For 8 bucks I got an IPA glass and 6 tickets for beer samples. Not bad. I’m really glad I got to visit one of the brewing meccas of the southeast. I had a fun time. Recommended

I stopped in for a Friday tasting session and was thrilled with it. They had a live band, a great crowd of beer lovers, and dogs...everyone was invited to bring their dog; pleasantly unexpected. The beer selection was excellent and their new tap/tasting room had a great ambience. If you live in Atlanta or happen to pass through on a Fri, you have to stop!

This is a pretty cool place, went there for first time 4-6-09 for their "better late than never" X-Mas party! Had a live band and lot’s of people there. Mellow mushroom had awesome $1 slices of pizza. Will come back again on a regular day to see how it is. Pretty cool that you can bring your K-9’s w/ you there.

Obviously they only sell Sweetwater beer but the selection of beer and ambiance is great. I had a blast going. They actually sell you an $8 glass with tickets to try their beer. I got an awesome drunk!

A fun tour, a beatiful and large tasting room, the best place to meet people in Atlanta. Well staffed, beautiful women. Free tatsing or at cost for large samples in a glass. What more can you ask for?

Nice setting for a tasting and/ tour. Very nice bar and good folks. Too bad Georgia is trying to keep places like this from serving much of their own beer. No growlers, 2 pints, etc.

This is the first brewery I have been to for around ten years since I went to Busch Gardens. The tour takes about 20 minutes and I took it threems times and every time it was hosted by a hot girl. Speaking of hot girls the bartenders are hot. Just ask them questions about hummers and donkey punches. LOL. Since they can’t sell you beer you can buy a glass for $8 and it comes with 5 or 6 tickets for free beer. I was able to get more because my friend and I recieved around 6 more tickets from these business people who had some corporate event going on there at the time. We also got there name tags so we could go over to their are and take their food (the brewery doesn’t serve food). This annoying queery guy there caught on to us and called us out but we didn’t give a shit because we were drunk so we continued to take their food. Ha ha. They were out of their Road Trip beer so now that gives me an excuse to go back.

A little out of the way, but good beers served in a nice atmosphere. I’ve been here several times for the Cask Ale event.
