A Solar-Powered Bar From Monday Night Brewing and ASW Distillery Opens at Lee and White in West End | Eater Atlanta

"A new solar-powered outdoor bar housed in a converted shipping container at the Lee and White complex, opening May 20 just in time for the Lantern Parade. Built as a joint effort from neighboring breweries and a distillery, the bar is equipped with ten solar panels capable of capturing up to 4,000 watts per hour and a lithium phosphate battery backup to power low-energy refrigeration, appliances, and LED lighting into the evening. Open Friday through Sunday, it pours eight Monday Night beers on draft (including Taco Tuesday, Dr. Robot, and Blind Pirate) plus six canned beers, while the distillery serves cocktails and frozen drinks such as an Old Fashioned, gin and tonic, piña colada, and bourbon and Coke. The setup also includes a can-crusher recycling system that routes emptied cans to a glass chamber for collection by Recycle for Good (benefiting Habitat for Humanity in Atlanta) and six free, corded phone-charging stations powered by the solar system." - Beth McKibben
