Today, Beer Street Journal will bring you a two part-er on the growth of one of Atlanta’s premier craft breweries – SweetWater. The 16 year old brewery is polishing off a multi-million dollar expansion that more than quadruples their production capacity. To give you a feel on how big this expansion is, here are some images on the installation of the new brewhouse. The massive, multi-level build is seen here just after the kettles were set in July, 2012. This is the beginning of the 400 barrel brewhouse that went live in February, 2013
