The '420' Extra Pale Ale offers a complex blend of herbal, floral, and citrusy aromas from the Cascade hops.

The dry-hopping enhances the ale’s crisp and refreshing finish, making it the ideal choice for those who love a hoppy yet easy-drinking beer.
Brewer's Background:
SweetWater Brewing Company was founded in 1997 by Frederick Bensch and Kevin McNerney after their journey from Colorado to Georgia in search of a market with less competition. Having gained experience at multiple microbreweries in California and Colorado, they brought their craft to Atlanta, where SweetWater quickly gained recognition. By 2002, the brewery was named Small Brewery of the Year at the Great American Beer Festival. Despite playful rumors surrounding its name, '420' Extra Pale Ale remains the heart of SweetWater’s lineup, known for its iconic hop-forward profile and laid-back vibe.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve chilled at around 45–50°F (7–10°C) to enjoy the beer's crisp hop aroma and balanced flavors. It pairs well with spicy foods like tacos or buffalo wings, grilled meats, or even hearty pub snacks like pretzels. Ideal for outdoor barbecues, game nights, or relaxing afternoons.
