Virginia-Highland's Diesel Filling Station has boycotted SweetWater brews. Due to the local brewery's "exclusive craft beer sponsorship" at Turner Field— which apparently means that also-local breweries Terrapin and Red Brick no longer have a presence at the stadium, much to the chagrin of some fans— the VaHi bar will allegedly no longer offer SweetWater products. Stay tuned for updates. [AJC]
UPDATE: The fact-checking beer aficionados at Beer Street Journal talk to Aramark, SweetWater and Diesel to clear this up. Other craft beers aren't banned at the Ted (in fact, Terrapin will be offered again soon), and Diesel's lack of SweetWater apparently has nothing to do with the 2014 Braves season. [BSJ]
