Episode 17 - Georgia Beers Part 2
We take on the Sweetwater Brewing Company, the second installment of Georgia beers sent to us by Jeff, aka Arkhamresident.
We take on their IPA, “Georgia Brown”, and award-winning 420 Extra Pale Ale. The results may surprise you. The flavor of one surprised us!

The Sweetwater IPA was the first IPA I ever had. I remember thinking it was way too hoppy and now after all of the super hopped beers I’ve had it seems quite balanced. Great beer all around IMHO.
The 420 may not be as good as I think it is but I’m a bit biased as it was one of the first craft beers I started on.
I really don’t like the Georgia Brown. After finishing off the other four I didn’t ship to you guys I started feeling a little bad for including it. I hadn’t had it before so I didn’t know how mediocre it was.
@arkhamresident - awesome that we came together on what we liked, mostly. I am craving more of that IPA. You’re right, so many are hopped unnecessarily, as if to just make life easier on the brewer. I found the grapefruit in this IPA to be awesome. Don’t feel bad about the brown - it’s good to have a variety of winners and losers - it keeps us honest!
@Erik Boles - It’s on the list, especially since we have a second with TedC ![]()






Excellent episode guys! Glad to see you are back after the break. Another great beer to try (you should be able to get it in PA) is the Breckenridge 471 Small Batch…tasty, damn tasty.
