Outrun Brewing Company

The beautiful mural on its facade caught my attention. I was supposed to take a bus back to Atlanta after hiking up the Stone Mountain. An almost 5 star rating on the Google Maps convinced me to give it a try and I must say the brewery really deserves such a high rating. Everything was perfect, from the decor, ambiance and service to the beers themselves. I asked for a four-glass beer flight, specifically the Dead of Night stout(funky chocolaty), the Japanese rice lager(crisp and tea-ish), the Key West kooler sour( very aromatic) and the Pink kolsch(authentic German) . They came in amazing colors and flavors. The best thing is that there is a food truck on its premise, so you can grab a taco or quesadilla to enjoy with the beers.

Incredible. This place does the converted garage/autoshop perfectly - with the 80s drive in vibes. The pastel, retro decor and 80s style is immaculate. The beer is diverse and absolutely delicious. Staff is friendly and engaging. Even the music is on brand - loud to keep the vibes going but not overbearing. Good thing this place isn’t in my neighborhood or I’d be here daily I’m afraid.

Loved this place!!! Retro look with a very friendly atmosphere. The brews are fresh, and staff friendly. Dog friendly location with a lot of outdoor seating. BBQ stand out front so you don't have to leave. Will be back for sure!!!

It's the combination of the retro vibe, tasty beer, and 'everyone is welcome' attitude floating around the place that makes this joint a spot to drop on your list of places to enjoy. We did.

Great, laid back local brewery that always has a great assortment of beers. Also, the outside patio is dog-friendly, which is a big bonus. Have been here several times, and never disappoints. Good food is available through a rotation of different food trucks. Today, they had True Street Tacos, which is my favorite so far. Top notch tacos to go with some great brews!

Good beer spot to head to after hiking Stone Mountain. The Taco truck that is here on Saturday has phenomenal tacos and quesadillas! I could eat 12 of the steak tacos and still want more. Fantastic!

Very cozy brewery! Enjoyed the vibe of the place especially since the culture stuff is largely Xennial related. Beer is very solid and tasty. Minimal parking out front, but there is a free 2-hour lot on Main Street that has a solid amount of parking and is only a short walk away. Staff is friendly and the bathrooms are clean. Definitely worth checking out if in the area.

Great find! This brewery has a fun vibe and the people were really nice. It was a hot day and we were allowed to sit inside with our pet. They also offered pet treats. What a bonus!!! The beers were good and they even had sours!!

Good beer is in the eye of the beer holder, but this place is the best brewer around for me taste wise. They seem to always have something unique for me on tap, as I lean more towards the summer ale / farmhouse ale / citrus flavors. (Hopheads - I'm sure I didn't use the correct terms, move along lol). The vibe is super upbeat 80's vibes. You know, back when there was a ton of great music, electric vehicles came with remote controls, and home ownership was no big deal. Friendly staff and crowd, great location, with upbeat vibes and a variety of craft beers. Easily my favorite brewery in the Atlanta area.

We love it here! The quirky retro vibes are so fun and every beer we've tried has been great. The service is also fantastic, and the man behind the bar is always so fun to talk to.

You better run not walk to Outrun Brewing! Ok, maybe not run, since it's a bit far lol but definitely make your way over asap! I'm surprised there are only 19 reviews (including mine) for Outrun! I saw it on social media and knew I had to try it. And thanks to some food pop ups that were going on, a few of us stopped by for beer and noms. The retro vibe is super cool and unique, there's definitely nothing like it in Atlanta. I love the dog friendly interior that opens out to the accessibly outdoor seating. I saw "smoothie seltzer" (the Food Court Fantasy) and almost peed my pants LOL. I had to try it ASAP, although I was also hesitant since I'd never had a smoothie seltzer. I love me some hard seltzers and I love me a milkshake IPA, but... from now on I will only drink smoothie seltzers. I ended up going back and buying a 32 oz. crowler to go. And the crowler can is super unique: the design looks like a rolled up VHS box. If Outrun weren't so far, I would definitely be here more often. But anytime I'm in the area and they have Food Court Fantasy on tap, I'm THERE.

Excellent. LOVE this place. Amazing beer, good food rotation, and easy to access. Perfect and delicious especially after a hike at Stone Mountain.

You can find Outrun Brewing at 5368 E Mountain St, Stone Mountain, GA 30083 this is a half-block from Main St. There's street parking available but easier to do the free parking at the Municipal Parking lot on the other side of Main and walk a block. I believe the building used to be an old municipal garage used to maintain the city's vehicles (could be wrong but someone indicated it was) - it features big roll-up doors which really brings the outside in and vice-versa. The bar is towards the back center with a small brewhouse with exposed bright tanks along the right. You basically queue up for a beer or two - there's also additional seating outside which is often quite busy, with picnic tables and a large patio. I first heard about Outrun Brewing on Facebook towards the end of 2018 - I believe they opened in 2020 - I attended the grand opening (somehow managed to lose the photos I took of that visit). This is a small batch brewery that specializes in a full range of beer products for local consumption - I don't believe they distribute and if they do it would probably be kegs to local restaurants and crowler shops. I've stopped by several times to sample their current offerings - they refresh fairly often. I also managed to pick up some bottles from a brewery-only release. The people I talked to visiting the brewery seem to be locals - there's another brewery nearby (part of a German restaurant) but the beer I've sampled there leaves much to be desired - Outrun on the other hand is fairly exception and worth trying. I like their fruited sours the best, but have also enjoyed several others: '89 Kalani Fruited Sour - 4.5% ABV - Refreshing fairly easy drinking citrus Berliner with mild notes of guava, passion fruit and orange. Pretty color and fairly juicy into a dry finish. Members Only NEIPA - 6.2% ABV - Quite good NEIPA, super hazy and juicy, citrus notes of grapefruit, orange and a touch of melon with a touch of hops throughout. Piney finish. Night Drive Stout - 6.4% ABV - To get that extra dark flavor, this stout is only brewed under the darkness of the night. Night Drive has a roasty yet smooth and chocolaty flavor that will make you feel like you're cruising under the stars. Passing Dream Fruited Sour - 4.5% ABV - With so many heavy BA stouts out there it's nice to get one competently made - a bit bigger than easy drinking, great roasted malt flavor with notes of chocolate in a full body. Madame Gazelle Fruited Berliner Weisse - 4.5% ABV - Quite tasty distinctive blackberry and sweet Passionfruit in this fruited sour, creamy body and dry finish. Espresso Flamingo Pastry Stout - 8.5% ABV - Neapolitan stout with notes of sweet chocolate, vanilla and strawberry in a medium body and sweet full finish. Service has always been good here and the beertenders are always good for a recommendation based on your personal preferences.

Outrun has become my team's go-to hangout after practice on Sundays. Love DJ and all the great staff there! Early on in our visits, they became curious about the sport we were practicing and after learning more details, the owners decided to sponsor our team - how cool! I love the spunky atmosphere here. Everything is in my favorite color (pink!) and the interior is bright, modern, and smart. The bench tables are great for group gatherings with A/C on the inside, or grab a table underneath an umbrella outside for warmer relaxation. They really did a great job of transforming both the interior and exterior spaces to make the area warm and inviting. Also, pro-tip, the Food Court Fantasy is the best thing on the menu. We'll continue coming here to support this great business!

10/10 beers, 10/10 atmosphere. I just happened to stumble upon this bar after a hike. I was parked pretty far from Stone Mountain, where there was free parking, and on my way back with a friend, we stopped at this bar. We were so thirsty. I have no idea why we thought it would be a good idea to hike Stone Mountain with no water during the summer in Georgia... but on the way back to the car we were dying and stopped to grab a beer and a large cup of water! I am so glad we forgot our water bottles because this was such a great find! It is kind of hidden on one of the streets with houses and a few other local businesses. The area doesn't seem super busy, but this brewery feels like the kind of place everyone goes to hang out in your favorite tv show or like the local hot spot in a movie. The decor is so cute, the beers are amazing, the price is really good, but the atmosphere was my favorite part. They have plenty of tables inside and out. They have cornhole (you just have to ask for the bags at the bar) and they had a small stage where they have performers on certain nights (we met a guy there telling us about how he'd be performing on the weekend). In addition to all of that, the staff was so friendly. They let us try a few samples to see which beer we liked best, and they spent time just chatting with us as well. We aren't from the Stone Mountain area, but we had to make a trip back a few weeks later just to visit this place again! I definitely recommend the Starjammer (I believe that is the one I got the first time. It was the sour that they have as a slushie). The second time, I wanted to go for something not frozen, so I got the 2089 Kalani, which I also loved and highly recommend!

This is such a charming brewery in the historic Stone Mountain neighborhood, I'm so glad my sis lives in the area and recommended we stop by for a visit. It is a brewer owned and operated small-scale brewery that focuses on approachable and highly drinkable small-batch brews.   I stopped by on a lovely Sunday with my family and ordered the Outrunner 3 IPA, it had some nice citrus notes. There was about 6 options on the menu the 5oz was $3.99. You also have the option to order a 16oz at 5.99 or a 32oz at 12.99.   You shouldn't have a problem finding a seat, there are several benches on the property and I believe there was also seating available inside the space. It was a very retro beachy, 80s vibe to it.   Service was okay, not great just okay. It was just a strange energy that I picked up, the employees really didn't' seem interested in telling us about the beer or engaging in conversation. My group was excited to try the place but maybe it was COVID or possibly because it was the end of the day. Like I said it was okay, they weren't rude or anything.

Set in the Stone Mountain Village area, this cute brewery packs in a punch with its bevy of beer offerings. I personally am a gose fan and I was so surprised that they had one on their menu. Their IPAs are great as well and you can take home a growler( no 6 packa available tho). They have li e music and food trucks on their grounds which is an added bonus. A great stop after your sweaty Stone Mountain hike.

The beer is great! The service is great! Cool location in downtown Stone Mtn. with hipster vibes. Now the food trucks in the parking, that's another story. Both times the food has been trash My latest error in trying the bbq food truck was a complete disaster. I ordered the barria chicken nachos. It barely had any chicken, the cheese tasted fake & most of the chips were broken up crumbs. All this for $16+$2tip totaling $18 for the absolute WORST nachos I've ever had. While I will definitely continue to enjoy the great experience at Outrun Brewery, I'm FOREVER DONE with whatever trash food truck in their parking lot

FOLLOW THE NEON to Outrun Brewing Co where flash backs to the excess of the 80s and playing a racing arcade game are encouraged. Grab your favorite neon shirt, a boom box, and crimp your hair, we're reliving the "best" decade. Night Drive Stout, 6.4%. A drinkable and rich chocolate forward beer, smooth and delicious. Liz's fave, of course. 89 Kalani Sour with passion fruit, orange, guava. This is a shout out to owner and brewer Ryan's Hawaiian heritage. ALOHA! Lo-Fi Lager is only 3.4% ABV but a light and drinkable lager that still has a wonderful flavor to enjoy all day. Jackets Not Required IPA: John's fave was a hazy inspired IPA with tons of flavor and slight butter on the back. While at Outrun, enjoy the Flamingos. Big Trouble in Little Beer Saison. Slightly rustic and slightly sour, but finishes smooth. We love that it was founded Outrun as a testament to the amazing decade that's the 80s, love wrestling, arcade games, and founding breweries in cities that need the community. Outrun your expectations!

After a six mile trail around the mountain of stone there is nothing better than a pint from this spot. Great atmosphere and fine selections for craft beer. We had already enjoyed a meal nearby and left room for an afternoon stop here. Will be back again

Party of 1... Pop in pop out... 1st time visit This place has been on the list to check out for awhile. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon after running some errands. They have a very small parking lot right next to the property. When I arrived all spaces were taken, but I was lucky enough to find free 3 hour street parking close by. The place has great energy as soon as you walk up, with ample indoor and outdoor seating. They have a nice selection of beers and the bartender let me try a sample. I decided to order their hazy IPA called "Continue?". The beers are very reasonably priced. I took it and sat outside at an umbrella covered table. Perfect setup for me. I don't think Outrun serves food themselves, but there was a 3rd party vendor with a table setup selling plates. I ended up ordering a second beer and when I returned to my table a couple was now sitting there and we just ended up sharing the space. I noticed a DJ booth and a small stage for live performers. I am sure as it gets later in the day they have some musical entertainment. This place is kid friendly with a few video games available to keep them busy while the parents sample the beer. Not only kid friendly, but also pet friendly. I will definitely be coming back!

Retro, seating socially distant inside and out, employees wearing mask, 5 beers at a time and they rotate out and a great atmosphere with arcade Sega, corn hole and flamingos. Need I even say more.. but I haven't even told you about the beer. Great tunes at the right subtle volume adds a great vibe to the vibrant, full flavored beers. There is a flavor for ever beer type lover from saison to stouts and all the IPA's in between. Each one leaves you with a surprise mouthfull of flavor and saying, "wow." A friend and I stumbled upon this brewery after hiking Stone Mountain- a perfect treat after good hike. There is plenty of shady and sunny spots to socially distance and enjoy the old mechanics store meets retro costal vacation spot to meet your needs whether alone or with group. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is the perfect escape to enjoy a good pint of bliss. I am not usually a stout drinker on such a hot, summer day, but after trying the selection offered today - it was my pic and I don't regret it! This is an amazing addition to this area and I will look forward to visiting each time I come this way.

Great, simple, old school! Love! Nice setup with just the right amount of chill! If you are visiting Atlanta, come this way!

This place is such a great community hidden treasure. Great people, great food, great beer. They have trivia during the week!

Cool 80s-90s vibe. Great sour ale Princess Papaya. Do check them out. Thanks for hosting us for the run today.

Visited here several times and always had a great experience. Their beers are unique and I really like the retro ambience. Will definitely be back!

Great brew choices, especially sours! And the service is good as well. Nice, casual atmosphere for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Stop by today for a beer to kill time , one beer turn two I enjoyed myself felt at peace relaxing mind and body felt beautiful enjoyed the atmosphere, the bartender was very nice all around just go chill and enjoy some beers if you loved beer.Tc

Great beer and very nice vibe. Love that they allow dogs and had a lot of fun. I wish it were a little larger with more inside seating but this is a great location.

This is a magical gem! My friend Joey has been telling me about this place for ages...and finally, the stars aligned and we made it. Absolutely worth the wait! The vibe here is so chill and they have great outdoor seating...plus some tables and a sofa inside for additional spaces to relax and enjoy the fabulous beers this place has created. And let's be clear...this beer situation is so delightful. I like beer; period. But outrun is really and truly crafting some amazingly fun and inventive beers. I'm totally a fan. They've got a nice pale ale (player2) for a refreshing session situation, and the sours I had were absolutely off the chain. I foolishly decided I wanted to try the Japanese rice lager (also delish) to wash down the empanadas (they pair up with some pretty awesome small businesses to provide snacks) and when I went back in, they had sold out of the cherry lime sour that I was hoping to try. That just enhanced my zeal to return. I ended up leaving with a 32oz Crowler of Passing Dream, an amazing plum sour that made my heart sing. Go for the beer and be captivated by the neon and the retro vibe. It's a grand time.

This place is so cool! Outdoor seating, live music, good beer, cool vibe, great service. Will definitely come again!

Amazing selection of Georgia's finest beer. Loved the Strawberry , Passion Fruit Sour and the Food Court Fantasy !!

Outstanding beer, great atmosphere, great staff. Wonderful experience all round! Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.

Such a nice brewery! Although limited time, me and my boyfriend LOVE the sour berry blast! Amazing!

Ordered 3 beers, unable to finish any of them. Imagine drinking an alcoholic version of a popsicle you didn't want. Hazy style beer can be enjoyable, but not when used as a crutch for lazy breweries. The retro theme is something you'd really want to like about this place, but the sparse decorations against the bare white walls and weirdly open brewing space with no division from the public leaves an impression of a half-assed venture from start to finish. Anywhere else is probably better.

Visiting from Southwest Florida, we are using our family vacation to tour different breweries in Georgia and North Carolina. We were disappointed in our experience at Outrun. We felt that because we had our two children with us we were not welcome. We understand breweries not wanting rowdy kids around so we visited between the hours of 2-4, there were a total of four other patrons in the establishment, and our children sat with us and were quiet and respectful. I asked about the haziness of the IPAs and was told impatiently that all their beer is considered hazy. I asked if they had any west coast style IPAs and it appeared they didn't know what I was talking about. The concept of the brewery is cool, and has lots of potential. The beers are juicy and have that artificial syrup taste to them. Was disappointed in our visit.

Great beer ! Amazing service! Love the way it's decorated too! The pitmaster beer is one of my favorites very refreshing
