"Longtime friends Jack Poole and Chris Shapiro plan to open Mutation Brewing Co. in Sandy Springs this winter. The brewery takes over the former Taqueria Tsunami space on Roswell Road. It should offer between eight to 12 beers on tap, to-go growlers, and hard seltzers once the brewery is fully operational. One drink that could make the opening menu at Mutation is a take on a Peruvian drink called the chicha made with purple corn, according to the AJC. Seating around 250 people between the taproom, U-shaped bar, partially covered patio, and a rooftop bar, expect food from Roswell-based Spiced Right Barbecue and a hidden speakeasy bar, which will initially be used for private events, but could eventually open for late nights. As for the patio and rooftop bar, expect those to be dog- and kid-friendly and include large-scale lawn games like Jenga and Connect Four." - Beth McKibben
