SweetWater celebrated their 28th Anniversary on February 22nd, with live music, food plenty of beer.

For 28 years, SweetWater has been brewing in Atlanta – and a lot has changed since the early days. Having been to almost every birthday party they brewery has thrown for the last 18 years, the obvious- is that Tilray owns the brewery now, Shock Top is brewed at SweetWater, and soon – Terrapin Beer (at least Hopsecutioner) will be made on Ottley Drive for the first time. Two breweries that were once friendly competition are now one after Tilray acquired Terrapin from Miller last year. The stacks of Shock Top, once owned by brewing giant Budweiser was also a weird sight.
