We’re thrilled for more of Atlanta’s football and soccer fans, as well as the community at large, to sip their favorite SweetWater beers while taking in the fun at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.” 

“We are excited to partner with our hometown brewing company, Sweetwater, “says Vice President, Partnerships, AMB Sports and Entertainment, Dana Harple. “We are purposeful in bringing local Atlanta businesses inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, not only to support locally owned businesses, but to expose guests from all over to the best of what Atlanta has to offer, Sweetwater is a premier example of Atlanta’s finest, and we are proud to have them in the family.”
