Back in the day, when I lived in Atlanta, I was introduced to a locally brewed pale ale. Sweetwater 420 is my interpretation of heaven in a glass! The love affair lasted quite some time; then came the abrupt ending with my relocation to North Carolina. I longed for the sublimely, hop-laden concoction...something about spring time, it conjures the craving. I often reminisced upon the many balmy Monday and Thursday afternoon brew tours that begin at 4:20. Pint glass and drink tickets in hand, myself and many others would stand patiently in line at the kegerator disguised as a psychedelic van. Ahhh...good times.
I was pleasantly surprised recently, when I bellied up to a neighborhood bar. To my great pleasure, I spotted the all too familiar fish tap head...Sweetwater 420!!! I couldn't believe it! The gods were definitely smiling in my favor! Although we in Charlotte were enduring winter's last stand, I saw a ray of sunlight shining brightly on the tap line. I did not hesitate for a single second..."yes, please, Sweetwater 420!" My friends think I'm insane. As an added bonus, my grocery store also had Sweetwater Blue in bottles!
Yeah, life is good.
