Tucker Brewing Company Nominated For USA Today’s 10Best

TUCKER, GA — Spring is fast approaching. And while the pandemic still makes socializing at local bars and pubs tricky, the beer garden opens up much broader possibilities for social distancing while imbibing.

In keeping with that spirit, USA Today has tasked a team of beer connoisseurs and taste experts to nominate beer gardens across the nation that are worthy of being highly regarded on 10Best.com. Tucker Brewing Company in Tucker made the leaderboard.

Now it’s your turn. 10Best is an ongoing reader’s choice award. That means it’s up to you to decide if your hometown or neighborhood beer garden should be one of the Top 10.

Here are the nominees in the Atlanta metro:

• Tucker Brewing Company, 2003 South Bibb Dr., Tucker
• SweetWater Brewery, 195 Ottley Dr. NE, Atlanta

Tucker Brewing specializes in easy-to-drink pilsners and lagers, which visitors can drink in the 8,500-square-foot outdoor beer garden. In Buckhead, SweetWater Brewery offers visitors an array of seating options — from picnic tables to relaxed Adirondack chairs — and a food menu featuring many items made with SweetWater beers, such as 420 Extra Pale Ale Boiled Peanuts or wings with BeerBQ sauce.

Check out the rules here if you like, then log on to the leaderboard and select which beer garden you want to vote for.

Voting closes at noon on Tuesday, March 16. The final list will be announced on Friday, March 26.
