I’m not going to hold back or be modest here. Sweetwater 420 is THE best Pale Ale I have ever tasted. Now this moment isnt the first time I’ve had 420. I’ve been drinking it for the past 2 years but have also been drinking local beers in every city I visit. I’ve had my fair share of pale ales and tonight was a definate reminder that Sweetwater 420 likes to dance on my pallet.
Currently the brew is only available in regions near Atlanta, GA. In 2002 Sweetwater was voted Small Brewery of the Year at the Great American Beer Festival and Kevin McNerny was voted Brewmaster of the Year. SweetWater brews have won numerous nationally recognized awards at both the World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival. Distribution is limited due to interstate alcohol laws; the primary market for SweetWater is Atlanta and the surrounding area. However, SweetWater is distributed to other areas of the Southeastern United States, at least as far as the Nashville, TN, Asheville, NC, Greenville, SC, Birmingham, AL, and the Florida panhandle Tallahassee west into Pensacola. In all markets SweetWater is available on tap as well as in a bottle.
My retirement may include a distributorship of Sweetwater 420 in the central FL area so watch out for the goodness!
