“Atlanta United is thrilled to bring our fans Rowdy Peach IPA as part of our partnership with SweetWater Brewing," said Garth Lagerwey, President and CEO of Atlanta United. “We share SweetWater’s commitment to innovation, and this collaboration is a tribute to the passion and energy of our supporters. We're excited for them to enjoy it while cheering on the team as we enter an important stretch of the season.”
