Tonight, we went to the SweetWater Brewing Company to take the tour and sample the beer. SweetWater is an awesome local beer company. In fact, this is the only location where they make and bottle the beer, which is very impressive considering how many locations you can find it in the Southeast. They're not big on over-expansion since they really do care about the quality of the beer.
It's free to take the tour and to get a small cup, which gets you 6 tastes of beer. Or for a small amount, you get a keepsake glass and 3 refills. We opted for the freebie, which was still plenty and totally delicious! My favorite is the SweetWater Blue (with a mild blueberry flavor) and Adam likes their IPA. The tasting room is kind of fratty, but we'd still highly recommend it, especially for an after work happy hour date!
They used to let locals help bottle the beer and pay them with as much beer as they could carry home for their services, but the IRS has stepped in and won't let them do it anymore!
Dank Tank is for new samples they try out at the brewery. The most recent one was called "Donkey Punch". They get pretty silly with their names!
They won't notice if I just borrow one of these boxes, right???
um, where are the other 7 days...
