From the Sweet n’ Sinful Facebook page…

Sweet ‘N Sinful has enjoyed 10 great years being Avondale Estates’ bakery, helping our friends and community celebrate weddings, birth announcements, birthdays, and beyond. Unfortunately, rising costs and circumstances beyond our control are forcing us to close our doors temporarily, beginning January 31, 2015. After regrouping, we look forward to relaunching our brand and bakery. Thank you so much for all of your love and support.

It’s brew-time in Decatur/Avondale!

As was mentioned by spreak in a comment yesterday, Wild Heaven Craft Beers has applied for a conditional use permit to build out a brewery at 135 Maple Street in Avondale Estates.

The Avondale City Council’s agenda for its June 24th meeting includes this item “Board of Mayor and Commissioners Public Hearing re: Conditional Use Permit Application for Wild Heaven Craft Beers located at 135 Maple Street”.

From the city of Avondale Estates “City Happenings” email…

It’s official! Wild Heaven Craft Beers has signed a lease on an 8,000 square foot building at the end of Maple Street next to the MARTA tracks with plans to renovate the vacant facility into a world-class brewery in Avondale Estates. Congratulations!

“We’re hoping we can be a part of reinvigorating the downtown, especially in the wake of (the Publix development) falling apart,” said Nick Purdy, president of Wild Heaven Craft Beers. “Our brewery is meant to be a destination, with tours, tastings and live music – so we hope to bring lots of people into Avondale in the coming years.”
