Ed Sheeran bartends, serves drinks to stunned bachelorette party
Ed Sheeran gave fans the “Perfect” surprise over the holiday weekend.
The Grammy-winning musician surprised fanatics at a local brewery in Atlanta Saturday in between weekend shows of his Mathematics tour.
Sheeran gave fans the “Shivers” when we casually walked out from the kitchen and stepped behind the bar at SweetWater Brewery around 3:30 p.m.
As word quickly spread through the open-air brewery, the small bar was surrounded by fans giving the musician their orders as he poured beers — free of charge and on his own tab.
But the red-headed star also specially signed one congratulatory canned drink for lucky local lady Caroline Tuttle, 25, who happened to be celebrating her bachelorette party at the beer garden.
“It felt like a dream!” she exclaimed when contacted by The Post.
Her older sister and maid of honor, Victoria Wallace, 28, also told The Post that while the brewery tour had been planned for weeks, Sheeran’s appearance was a complete but “amazing surprise.”
“We walked up to SweetWater and a small chalk sign read, ‘Special Guest 3:30-4:30,’ and I thought, ‘Oh cool, some live music. The perfect vibe,’ ” she recounted.
Once the group of women was alerted that Sheeran was serving drinks, the bachelorette party made its way to the front of the bar and told the star why they were celebrating.
“Her friend grabbed her hand and ran to the front of the bar and told Ed it was Caroline’s bachelorette. Ed then poured her a growler and signed it: ‘Have an amazing Bachelorette Party! Go team!’ ” Wallace told The Post.
“After the first surprise, he hopped on their small outside stage and performed two songs. It was intimate, completely unexpected and such an amazing surprise.”
After serving several glasses of brew, Sheeran walked over to the bar’s small outdoor stage and performed “Perfect” and “Eyes Closed” for the intimate afternoon crowd.
The musician then thanked the stunned audience and said that he had put his card down to cover the tab for the next hour.
“We found beer right where we are. Our bud Ed Sheeran dropped in to SweetWater Taproom today to buy a round for all the Galway Girls (and those of us from ATL, too) and play some hits from his new album, Subtract,” the brewery posted on Facebook.
“We couldn’t think of a better way to get the holiday weekend started than with some hops and harmonies with Ed!”
Right after he left, Sheeran posted a video to his own Instagram, giving a quick peek into the surprise.
“So I’m in Atlanta, and I’ve been told there are some breweries that are good in Atlanta so I’m going to go to this brewery, serve some beers, play a gig, and then buy everyone in the beer garden drinks,” he announced. “Beers on me.”
The video shows short clips of Sheeran touring the facility, pouring some brews and serenading the crowd before his Saturday night show at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Lucky bachelorette Tuttle’s mother, Carey Tuttle, even commented on the Instagram post writing: “Thank you for signing my bride-to-be daughter’s beer! What an unforgettable bachelorette weekend for her and her girls! Class act, Ed!”
Sheeran’s pop-up performance comes as the latest of several surprise appearances by the British singer-songwriter as he travels the US to promote his tour, a new album “Subtract” and his four-part Disney+ docuseries “Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All.”
