Boisterous microbrewery with tours, taproom, live music, dog patio

























"Atlanta’s largest craft brewery is also the pet-friendliest, with an expansive, fenced outdoor space with turf and gravel floors, low-slung Adirondack chairs to easily hoist your 60-pound lapdog onto, and picnic tables for your pup to nap under. Order large portions of wings, big sandwiches, and pizzas at the counter and drinks from a draft list of 24 at the bar." - Su-Jit Lin
"As one of the nation’s largest beer companies, SweetWater is everywhere, but they do a good job making sure their home base in Midtown shows patrons a hell of a time. The location is more like a complex, with a completely redesigned taproom, merch store, full kitchen (try the Big Kahuna fish sandwich), and a turf-lined beer garden, where you’ll find a cornhole field and a live music stage. And besides their assortment of IPAs, stouts, lagers, and legendary 420 Extra Pale Ale, there are award-winning one-and-done collaborations and experimental innovations like their Georgia Aquarium-partnered brew. SweetWater also pours selections from acquired breweries Alpine, Green Flash, and Montauk, plus the Oasis electrolyte-infused seltzer line." - dennis malcolm byron

"Now owned by Canadian cannabis company Aphria, the longtime Atlanta brewery still feels local, where wings, boiled peanuts and more are steadily coming off the line in the rear kitchen. Brews include the H.A.Z.Y double dry-hopped IPA and the Oasis line of hard seltzers, packed with electrolytes and vitamin C. The Woodlands Project, located next door to the main brewery, continues to be the place for experimental barrel-aged, Belgians and sour beers." - Eater Staff

"Atlanta Brewing Company will relocate to the former Atlanta Visitor’s Center Location on Upper Alabama St. They will transform the 8,600-square-foot space into two distinct parts: a brewery open to tours, and an indoor/outdoor taproom featuring 20 beers and a “phantom kitchen” with rotating chefs." - Sarra Sedghi

"The taproom serves as an accessible venue for pop-up events tied to the local chef community; it was chosen as the site for an upcoming SG Chophouse pop-up where attendees are encouraged to simply show up and be fed, with no tickets required." - Beth McKibben
