We were present at SweetWater Brewery‘s tap takeover at RFD last week. The Atlanta based brewery also did a tap takeover at Rustico in Ballston, so now you know two local places to get their beer on tap.

My favorite was the 420 (Extra Pale Ale), but I was also a fan of the Georgia Brown–I do tend to enjoy browns. The LowRYEDer IPA is very good, and is nice to try a beer of that style (rye IPA). We also tried the (non rye) IPA, with Cy stating: “The SweetWater Brewery IPA is VERY hoppy. The label says kick in the teeth hops.”  Cy’s comments on the 420 are: “It is Bitter with citrus and sweet undertones. ”

We previously sampled the Blue (made with a high quality blueberry extract), which neither of us were huge fans of, but we can see how it could become quite popular. You can definitely taste the blueberries flavor in the beer.

Cy and I ordered RFD’s BBQ pizza, which was good, but contained bacon that we just could not taste. So, maybe the bacon isn’t necessary when you already have pulled pork, BBQ sauce ad cheese on a pizza.
