SweetWater Brewing demolishes adjacent building to make way for e

Employees of Atlanta-based craft brewery SweetWater Brewing Co. today watched a demolition company tear down a building adjacent to the brewery to make room for a major expansion. SweetWater, which owned the adjacent building, operates in Atlanta's Armour Circle Industrial Park near Piedmont Road.

"The expansion will mean more upgrades and more space to continue serving the community," said spokesman Steve Farace. "It's all about the quality of our beer, and the more beer we can sell in our backyard the better."

SweetWater, which markets itself as environmentally friendly, said that nearly 98 percent of the destroyed building will be recycled.
