Last Friday (the 15th) James and I decided to give one of the other local micro tours a chance. We've done Sweetwater countless times, I'm not sure why we didn't venture away sooner, but I'm glad we did. The place was pretty crowded by the time we finally got there at 6:15 (doors opened at 6) and continued to get even more crowded all the way up until 7. Seven dollars gets you a pint glass, as well as 6 bottle caps that you can redeem for beers...not a bad deal at all.
The bar area is a little smaller than Sweetwaters, but the waits were never too bad. And the beer was all delicious. My favorite of the night was their Winter Brew with the Peachtree Pale Ale in close second. We also got the chance to talk w/ all the guys that work there. None of the people there were brewmasters or anything, but they all knew a helluva lot more about homebrewing than Jamie and I, so it was fun to shoot the shit with them. We ended up hanging around until close to 11 (places 'closes' at 8) before heading out.
If you haven't read anything on the entire blog, please read this! If someone ever offers you $30 to eat two hop pellets please please don't take that bet. Yeah, it might seem like a good idea after 7 or 8 tasty micros, trust me, its not. Lets just say that I brushed my teeth two times the next night still trying to get the taste out of my mouth. Also, all day Saturday I though I had hops poisoning (ps, they are poisonous to dogs), turns out it was just the Flu. Lucky me.
