well, it was fun while it lasted but now i'm back.
for those who might some day travel through atlanta hartsfield-jackson airport (ATL): i can highly recommend the sweetwater brew house (beeradvocate) in Terminal B. ATL is set up like a long tunnel with a train to shuttle you around, so it's easily accessible from the other terminals too.
the food is as pricey as anywhere else, but the portions are HUGE; the nachos + popcorn shrimp combo is definitely pub grub for > 1 person. but really the main draw is that they serve their own brew, which is of good quality and surprising to find in an airport. i sampled the "420 West Coast Pale Ale" and the "Brown Ale". both were good but the pale ale was definitely the winner between the two.
