ASW Distillery, located in the Battery Atlanta just outside Truist Park, is decorated with Atlanta Braves gear, jerseys and other Braves’
themed items.
the project because of world events we are all too
familiar with: the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, in March
of 2021 they had their grand opening.
Here, ASW has cultivated its first hybrid column
pot still for the production of their Bustletown Vodka,
released in April 2021, and their Winterville Gin,
released in August 2021. Similar to the other locations,
the Battery location has its own unique extensive
cocktail list with featured cocktails of the week. As a
homage to being stationed in Braves country, Ralston
said there are often Braves inspired cocktails such as
last year’s postseason’s “Joc’s Pearls.”
Visitors taking a trip to the Battery Atlanta soon
can stop by ASW to sample any of its spirits, craft
cocktails and flights, indulge in some light bites or the
popular boozy slushies, take an informative tour of the
production space, or even host a private event. ASW
also has partnerships with some of the surrounding local
restaurants and patrons can get food delivered to their
tasting rooms.
“For any readers or whoever, (if) they attend games
and want to keep supporting the hometown distillery,
they can not only go to our Battery location before the
game, but they can also continue the fun in the stadium
at the Xfinity rooftop at our Airstream bar,” said Ralston.
This branded airstream bar is another part of their
Braves collaboration and is coined the “Winstream”
because “the Braves have a tendency to win down at
that park,” Ralston elaborated.
“We have really supportive regulars at all three, but
I will say the number of familiar faces we see at the
Battery is really awesome,” Ralston said when asked
what it’s like to serve the Cobb community. “So I think
that is probably a testament to, you know, the really cool
development they build at the Battery as well as just
people in Cobb supporting their local businesses.” Bartender Taylor Smith
