(PRESS RELEASE) ATLANTA, 2025-Jul-31 — /Travel PR News/ — Delaware North, a global leader in hospitality services, is proud to unveil ASW Flights + Bites alongside two new Starbucks outlets at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s Concourse B. These additions enrich ATL’s culinary landscape by showcasing Atlanta’s acclaimed craft spirits and providing convenient coffee options for travelers on the move.
To commemorate the openings, the airport hosted a spirited “Concourse Crawl,” inviting passengers to explore all three venues. “Welcoming ASW Distillery and Starbucks to Hartsfield-Jackson truly elevates the passenger experience,” said Chris Chila, Vice President of Operations for Delaware North Travel. “With ASW Flights + Bites, we celebrate Atlanta’s vibrant distilling tradition and support local producers, while two Starbucks locations ensure that every guest can refuel with their favorite handcrafted beverages.”
Situated near Gate B33, ASW Flights + Bites features an array of locally distilled bourbons, ryes, and vodkas crafted using premium ingredients and time-honored techniques. In its tasting room, travelers can unwind over curated cocktail flights and small-plate pairings.
Jim Chasteen, Co-Founder and CEO of ASW Distillery, remarked, “Introducing our award-winning Fiddler Wheated Bourbon and Resurgens Rye at one of the world’s busiest airports is an incredible opportunity. We look forward to sharing the soul of Atlanta—one pour and one plate at a time—thanks to our partnership with Delaware North.” His co-founder Charlie Thompson added, “ATL gives us a global stage to connect with thousands of visitors and carry a taste of Georgia back home, laying the groundwork for our future expansions beyond U.S. borders.”
The two Starbucks cafés, which opened in March at Gates B15 and B28, offer the full array of Starbucks Rewards and mobile-order capabilities. Guests can place their orders via the Starbucks app and have their beverages ready the moment they step off the plane.
“Delaware North’s collaboration with ATL Skypointe is redefining airport concessions by blending local flair with world-renowned brands,” said Tyronia Smith, Deputy General Manager for Revenue Development and Management at Hartsfield-Jackson. “These new venues exemplify our commitment to delivering memorable experiences for every traveler.”
