Sweeter California

SweetWater Brewing Company recently announced expansion all across California. The march west includes the opening of SweetWater Colorado in Fort Collins plus the acquisition of passed around San Diego beer brands, Alpine Beer Company and Green Flash Brewing Company.

The Georgia based brewery is the nation’s 11th largest craft brewer and is turning 25th this year, both impressive numbers but I don’t think if you asked California beer fans to name five out of state breweries they would like to see here that SweetWater would make the list except for Marvel movie crew members who shuttle from L.A. to Atlanta.

Sweetwater of California?

Sweetwater Brewing of Georgia has plans now to build a second brewing facility somewhere on the West Coast by 2017 with California getting the odds on favorite status. Will the encourage other Eastern breweries to eye the west?

There are also longer range plans to add a Midwest/Central brewery as well.
