Eventide Rising

Atlanta welcomes @EventideBrewing, and adds to its embarrassment of Craft Brewing riches!

Atlanta brewery launches first beers 

On Jan. 7, Eventide released its first two beers, an a American Pale Ale and a Kölsch Style Ale, at Six Feet Under in Grant Park.

The Atlanta-based craft beer company was formed in 2011 by Nathan Cowan, Haley Cowan and Geoffrey Williams after the three met at Georgia Southern University in 2001. Mathew Sweezey, the company’s vice president of marketing, was introduced to group though a mutual friend of Cowan.The company started with a bank roll of less than $200,000 after the group took out second mortgages on their homes, along with investments from friends and family, to raise the capital, Sweezey said.

“We love and pride ourselves in that the roots of Eventide Brewing stem from a homebrewing project,” Sweezey said. “We aren’t trying to compete with the other breweries in Atlanta because we are more of a neighborhood brewery.”

I can't wait to visit!  My next visit to Atlanta is going to be pretty crammed full of brewery tours...
