Buckhead Pub Brings Back a Beloved Shot and Rolls Out New Summer Sips and Snacks

Buckhead Pub Brings Back a Beloved Shot and Rolls Out New Summer Sips and Snacks

Beginning this month, Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant is rolling out a summer drink menu that features new and traditional beer-based cocktails as well as Guinness Mixers.   Fadó is also bringing back its infamous Pickleback – a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey followed by a shot of fresh pickle brine – and will celebrate by hosting a Pickleback Tweet-Up on June 8.

 “People often mistakenly believe Guinness must be heavy, warm and high in calories because of its dark color,” says John Piccirillo, the director of marketing and development for Fadó.  “When in fact, it’s actually served cold, contains less alcohol and has fewer calories and carbohydrates than most brands.  It is hard to mess with a good thing, but we wanted to encourage guests who don’t normally order a Guinness to give it a go.  Guinness mixers have been viewed by many as their personal gateway to the real thing,” he adds.

ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech outfielder Kyle Wren has been named to the 2011 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America Team, as chosen by Collegiate Baseball.

Wren, a freshman from Peachtree City, Ga., started all 63 games in centerfield and concluded the 2011 season as the ACC-leader in hits with 90. No Georgia Tech player has ever led the conference in hits.

He batted .340 in his first season on the Flats, with 57 runs scored, 11 doubles, one home run and 32 RBI. Wren also had a conference leading seven triples, stole 16 bases, and was named to the All-ACC First Team.

A graduate of Landmark Christian in 2010, Wren recorded a hit in 50 of the 63 games this season and reached base safely in all but seven of them.
