The Stout Brothers - Smyrna

Stout Brothers is great! The selection is amazing, but beyond that, the atmosphere and staff are very welcoming and truly care about your experience there. They are very knowledgeable with their selections as well. Best part? Dog Friendly!!!!

So far, this may be the best craft beer selection I've found in Cobb County. Friendly service and a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

This is my favorite local Growler shop! The selection is always great, and they are very consistent with having the latest local brews on the shelf. Tap game is amazing, & I can always ensure I'm getting those special releases when I visit. Most importantly, the staff is so cool. Be sure to pick up some of that pimento cheese too when you visit!

Nice little place, wished they had their own beer. Decent selection

We stopped in on the day of a free concert and sadly on event days they don't do flights. That was ok though because they had one of my favorite breweries on tap..... Untitled Art. They're known for sours especially. So my fiancé got the Untitled Art Blueberry sour that was very close to a smoothie sour and I had a Watermelon Habanero Cider. They were absolutely amazing! The Stout Brothers had over 20 beers on tap so you'll find whatever you like and maybe even leave your comfort zones and find a new beer you'll grow fond of! Definitely stop on in and have a beer filled adventure next time you're in the area! Oh and P.S. some beers are priced at 8ozs but they'll ask you if you want a full or half pour. The half pour is the 8oz and the full is 16oz. That means if you do a full pour you'll pay double for the beer. Let's be honest though.... for a phenomenal beer you might as well have you a full pour! (Update after owner response) My fiancé and I will definitely be stopping in again and we'd love to take you up on that offer!

If you want to try different styles of beer in a very chill environment, this is the place. Liz is awesome.

It’s our go to date night spot. Great beer, great ambiance. Always has a unique beer list and the staff is very nice. We’ve been coming here for years and drive from Sandy Springs ..

Great beer ! The staffs are very helpful in choosing and I loved it ! This is my second time there… I highly recommend this place

This is the absolute best spot in Smyrna for a huge variety of beers. Everyone is always nice.

Hold uppp did you say chocolate beer,Chai beer well Betty is here !!! Came in and tried a variety of flavored beer my favorite was Chai me a river and caramel apple pie !! Got me a quick buzz and stole a few high scores on the GALAGA ,PAC Man machine while I was waiting 45 mins for a Jerk Salmon Sub at a nearby grill it was worth it all !!!!!

Stout Bros is easily one of my favorite spots to grab a beer in Smyrna...and here are a few reasons why! Location - Heart of Smyrna, in the beautiful Smyrna Market Village! This means that parking is plentiful with spots lining the streets or a few adjacent lots surrounding the village. Service - Always stellar! Every time we stop by, we always try a few different beers and the fellas working the counter are the most patient and friendly folks that clearly love what they do and love sharing their knowledge and expertise of all things beer with their patrons! We usually just tell them the variety of beer we are looking for, they recommend something that fits the bill and then we drink! And their recommendations have never been off, always spot on! Selection - To start, on tap they 40+ rotating taps of well known, obscure, local and far from home beers of ALL varieties! In addition to the beers, they have a few non-alcoholic things for the DD's and kids of the group. These range from cold brew coffee to popsicles. They also have a variety of snack foods from pretzels, popcorn, pimiento cheese, hummus to flatbreads and jerky! And if you decide you want something out of the can or bottle, they got you covered there too with a wide variety lining the shelves of the shop! They sell many varieties by the single can or pack. You can also grab a growler of your favorite tap beer! Layout - Not the biggest of places, but it is perfectly situated on the corner just one block off of Atlanta Road. They have a few high tops inside, along with a larger table and some window front counters if you are drinking in...and outside they have a few tables sitting along the brick sidewalks. Can't go wrong with either, both gives you easy access to your next tasty brew! Overall, really enjoy having Stout Brothers in the neighborhood for many reasons! Weirdly enough, once I wrap this review I am headed over there to get me a Saturday afternoon beer!

The Smyrna Beer Market was the very first place we found before moving to Marietta, and it has been our most frequented place since moving here one year ago. My husband has a hobby of trying craft beers, and had to find the best place to get the best beers. They have a wide variety of beers on tap, which rotate frequently. They also have ciders & seltzers on tap, which are more my speed! Note that you can get your beer in a plastic cup and walk around, as it is open container in Smyrna Village! They also have tons of single cans that you can buy to take to go. They get some of the best beers from across the country, and receive new drops each week. Every new shipment they receive gets posted to social media, and if you see something you like, you better go in and get it before it's gone! Smyrna Village is the cutest area, and we love sitting at the Beer Market's outdoor tables on a nice day and drinking a few beers. All of the staff who work there are super friendly and knowledgeable, too. Definitely check it out if you're into beer!

What a fun place in downtown Smyrna. Big selection of drafts, around 50. Lots of great local beers. I got two flights (i was there a long time) and tried a bunch of different beers. Enjoy it. Liz helped us out and was a great help. The shop itself is small, they have a few outside table. I would guess in the summer after work and on weekends it might get crowded. A nice gem in my town and I know i'll be back!

What an awesome place! Melanie took care of us: excellent customer service, very knowledgeable! The beer selection is fenomenal. Today there are 35 different beers. In addition they have snacks and other products for purchase. The ambiance is wonderful, very friendly. Definitely a spot worth returning to!

It's a cool place yo grab a beer laid back relaxing chill Environment it's worth you checking it out if I'm the area

We found this place looking for breweries. This is not an actual brewery but has TONS or should I say gallons of beers to try. Sooooo that it what we did! I had two different ipas, both delicious and my fries king buddy had two stouts, one was really sweet and both were strong!!! We sat outside. We wore masks inside, I do t know if they are required or not but saftt first even when it comes to drinking!

Located in a corner of Smyrna Village, I present to you The Stout Brothers. At this point I'm a local: here for the beer and all the puppers that other people bring. Their selection is incredible, ranging from IPAs to Ciders to locally made wine. All the beers they have are on the wall color coded so you know what you're looking at. I do like the ciders, so automatically I know I'm looking for the light orange writing. They offer pours in multiple different sizes and even ask if you prefer glass or plastic. Plastic is nice if you plan to stroll around the village. Plus if you are really diggin a beer, like I was with Forest Moon Basil infused Cider, you can even take a growler of it home. They also offer cans of beer individually for purchase against their back wall. This is a nice feature when you want to try something but don't want to commit to a whole 6-pack. Seating outside is scarce. I'd say there are about 5 tables out front and a few inside. But due to COVID a lot of people would prefer to be outdoors which leaves their tables occupied.

This place completely rock! My sister, brother-n-law and my son attended the 2018 Taste of Smyrna and this place is where we came to find cold beverages. I dont drink beer often, however, I do enjoy a nice cold beer from time to time. This place is pretty cool. My sister and I discovered our new favorite beer that we have yet to find anywhere else and at $10 a can, this craft beer will be a treat from time to time. Recommendation: You should definitely try the Ace Space Blood Orange beer, we are hooked! The place is pretty cool, they are pet friendly, and very clean, my only complaint is that there was only one person running the show! He was bearded and funny so that kinda made it ok-LOL! if you are in the area, you should definitely check this place out .

I really like this little store tucked into the Smyrna Village. You start with buying a $6 growler that comes in either 32oz or 64 oz. You can sample 5 or 6 beers for $7 or get a $1 off by checking in on social media (of course I did). They are technically a store that sells everything such as big green egg products, rubs, spices, wines, and even beer ice cream. The main item you'll want is the beer. They have dozens of beers on tap that you can fill up a growler with and take home. The growler will last 24-48 hrs one opened but if left sealed it can last a couple weeks. Beers cost anywhere from $8-$25. Depends on if you want a 32oz or 64 oz and which kind of beer. They have plenty of different priced beers to pick from most of them are going to be amazing craft beers. We took home a 64oz growler of : Harpoon Ufo Pumpkinbeer Stone Sorry Not Sorry Peachy IPA We sampled them, loved them and took them home. Can't wait to come back.

Stout Brothers is one of my favorite places to grab some craft beers. Whether you fancy a stout, IPA, ale, or even a cider, they are sure to have something to please your palate. The staff is very friendly, and will be happy to offer up their recommendations. They have quite the draft selection to fill your growler. But, you can also have a flight, half pint or full pint while you are there. There are of course, plenty of bottles and cans, ranging from your more common craft brews to rare and/or special ones. So if you are a craft beer fan, stop by Stout Brothers, you won't be disappointed!

I love this place!. Beer! What more can you ask for! It's great little neighborhood spot that carries a nice small selection of local beers, new releases and often has special meads and wine on draft. It can make for a great Friday chill-out spot. You can get a flight to try somethings out, you can also get some crowlers filled which is pretty cool. Also, you can get a to-go cup and walk outside. You can get singles here of the beers so look out for those too when you want to try something without having to commit to a whole pack. The draft board is color-coded to you can look for beers in the style you like. And they always change it up so you definitely can get your share of new beers to taste. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Glad I have them as my local beer spot!

I had a ball in this place. The server we had, named Meg was amazing. She was super attentive to us and we are a little crazy bunch. They offer an array of different beers that you can try or taKe some home in a can or bottle. They also sell popcorn in there from Poppa Corns (yum!) I enjoyed the service and the different flavors they offer. I'm not a huge beer person, but I enjoyed tasting the various brands. Will definitely come back!

This place is great. They have outside seating for dogs and plenty of board games. Don't forget that the village is open container so feel free to carry that amazing beer outside. They have over 20 selections of draft beer and even cider and a few wines. Come check out the village in Smyrna and don't forget to grab a beer for the walk. There's a few restaurants close by to go along with the beer of your choosing.

Now that I've been in town for a while, I'll tell you there are plenty of other places around to have good beer. I've been here about 4-5 times in the last month, and my experience goes downhill each time. The guys behind the bar serve up an attitude with their beer and it sours things up in the wrong kind of way. I can't even tell you how good their tap selection truly is, because they never let me try anything before I buy. Their beers are priced at about $1-$3 more per pint than you'll find elsewhere, so I can't justify more than one or two beers per visit. And, last night I was in there and watched the bartender pour generous samples for himself and a bunch of guys up the bar, which is super shitty considering I've been denied each time I've asked to try something before buying it. On a recent visit with my in-laws, we bought 4 drinks which rang in at about $45 for a round. I asked if I could have a small cup so I could take some pretzels to our table outside and share (they have these jars with free pretzels) and the bartender tells me I have to buy a bag if I want to have more than one pretzel. Are you freakin kidding me?! We just spent $45 on FOUR DRINKS and you can't throw in a little snack to soak up the booze? The Village Tavern a few doors down has a decent selection of beer - if I'm back in Smyrna, I'll be taking my beer business there.

These are knowledgeable, super friendly and this a nice place in downtown Smyrna to come a get a flight.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. They have a brilliantly-curated draft list, available for on-site consumption and/or growler fills. There isn't a massive selection of cans/bottles, but what they do have is usually comprised of rare/limited releases. They also don't hold anything back from their singles selection -- this is probably my favorite place in the Atlanta area to mix a 6-pack. Everything is always fresh, no expired beers here. I'll continue to frequent this place as much as I possibly can!

If you're looking for an easy place to hang for a couple hours with a wide selection of beer then Stout Brothers is a great choice. The crowd is cool and usually local. You can get a flight, pint or growler. Indoor and outdoor seating is available but the place can get crowded and there's not a ton of seating. I'm perfectly comfortable coming here solo she's having a beer.

I'm a bit late in reviewing this as I went here 2-3x about a year ago. I was looking at some old pictures and it reminded of how good this place was. This is a must stop for local beer drinkers and those traveling through Georgia. They have an awesome selection of hard to find beers, beer ice cream, hops, and other great products. The guy behind the bar is a beer guru and will give you the complete run down of every selection on the board. Tell him what like and dont lilke and he'll pick the right beer for you. You feel more like you're hanging out at a friend's house sampling from his fridge rather than being at a store. If I end up back in Georgia I will definitely being heading here again.

This is my favorite Atlanta-area beer store. Their selection is well-curated. It isn't not the biggest, but it is full of rotating hard-to-find gems. Their tap list is always amazing & they fill crowlers. Their customer service is A+, the employees are friendly & helpful, and never judgmental. This is what really sets them apart from other quality bottle shops in the area. They sell tasty snacks. Get that crab dip! They sell good hot sauces. If you haven't had Truff, go get some!

I really liked the vibe of this place, we didn't realize it was dog friendly so we'll be bringing the pup next time! The bartender was knowledgeable and helpful, while also managing to help several customers at once. They have a little snack menu too, which we didn't take advantage of since we popped in for pre-dinner happy hour. We will definitely be back!

Soft Drink Refill Speed: N/A Pretty much what a tap room should be. The servers are knowledgeable, the clientele is chill, and the selection is big. There's games and TV and some seating outside, so it's a good place to kill a few hours. There's also a small selection of beers for sale, and many of the taps are available in growlers. I don't believe they're covered by the open container rules in downtown Smyrna...

Very friendly staff as soon as you walk in. Tons of beer selections - definitely cannot go wrong with a $7 flight!

This is a cool place - but you really have to know what it is: It is a beer/win bar with snacks that is dog friendly. Not the most comfortable place ever, not much seating - really more of a "growler" shop than anything else, but if you're okay with that, then it's perfect for you. Great beer selection, and the dog friendly thing is *great*!

I tried a Blood Orange Pilsner Beer, it was awesome, cold and served in a nice glass. Plenty of options, I'll definitely visit again

Really had a lot of fun here on a Friday night. We found it just by walking the square and decided to stop in and share a meat platter, pimento cheese, and 2 flights (5 pours each) to start. Most of the crowd was well under 30, but the staff was totally helpful and accommodating to us in our 40s. Saying that to say that it doesn't feel like you have to be a certain age to enjoy yourself and feel comfortable here! I enjoyed this place more than a brewery in that I was able to try multiple beers from different local breweries. Each brewery they represent gets several brews on their menu, so you have more ability to get a feel for that brand. I'm comparing that to how a lot of places will have only one beer from a local on the menu, and you can't really get a feel for the brand from only one brew. The "rules" are posted at the top of the menu board. The color coding for the menu is located in the center of the menu. Read those two things first and then the rest is pretty easy. Wine and food menu is to the far right.

What a jewel! Loved being able to taste so many great craft beers from all over the country for just $12! A Flight of 5 beers for $6 (with social media check in). The beauty is the "beer tenders" are so knowledgeable and share so many great craft beer stories. When you make your selection from the extensive list, the beer tender prioritized each beer in drinking order, from start to finish. No seats. Standing only. Very small place focused on selling 32/64oz growlers from the ever changing selection.

My date and I came here on a Saturday evening since we've been talking about it for some time. I was amazed by this store. We came in at the right time for someone to help us out. There's a chalkboard with all the beers on top and it's fantastic how they're all color-coded with the type of beer they are. The best part was the tasting. One can do a total of 5 tastings a day, but since I was there with my date, we shared our choices (which was plenty!) so we tasted like 10 different beers. This place even had sour beer available, the Duchesse de Burgogne, which is something I definitely recommend trying if you want something different. It's kind of like wine and drinking vinegar. We came out with a growler of the Lips of Faith brew and a smaller growler of the Original Sin hard cider - it's kind of like a sweeter champagne which I'm sure most women would love. Don't throw away or recycle your growler after you're done. You can always go back for another one without having to pay for the price of the jug. Service was great. I have nothing bad to say about this place as Mike gave us our space to try our flights and then he would come back to help us after helping others. The store actually became more full after we were there, but there's plenty of standing space at the bar. They even have 2 iPads to the side for you to read more about the available brews. Browsing and drinking, this is a pretty awesome place to go if you want a craft beer or something out of the ordinary. Psssss...mention that you checked in Foursquare, Facebook, Yelp or what not, and they'll take $2 off your purchase!

we got our first growler from here a few weeks ago and we enjoy visiting this place in general. everyone is super friendly--staff and other neighbors alike. discovered honest abe cider in watermelon habanero flavor here and LOVED it!! so much so, that that's what we got the growler in. i like that you can also custom pick variety packs of the canned beers and try a bunch once you get home. bonus points for Smyrna being an open container area so you can sip and go at your leisure!

This place is a great place to get a growler fill. They pretty much only do small batch limited releases, so this is the place to get your special something. Very small, cozy place. I was given great recommendation and l wasnt led astray; they're very knowledgeable about what's on tap. Two TVs to watch whatever is on- watch social media for the expected game of the day. Parking can be difficult, but that's literally everything in this shopping plaza.

So the growler shop concept is a thing here in the ATL. And there are many, but not all are run well, or always have an interesting selection. The fellows at Stout Brothers seem to do both well. Located at Smyrna Market Village, make a point of wandering in and perusing their 30+ (sorry, I didn't count... boo!) taps. For now they allow small tasters of 3 ounces each in flights of five for $7.00. The idea here is you can try differen tbeers to get a sense of what you actually want to buy before you have buyers remorse when you try that super-duper-sour that peels the enamel off your teeth and you realize that's not at all what you had in mind. So big props for the tasting, and you should definitely take advantage of that. Their beer list is color coded by general beer style whicih really simpifies it for you if you have a specific style you are hunting for. Looking for an American Wheat... there it is. Stouts? Oh, that's in red. Sours? Oh those are yellow. Simple, Brilliant. The mix of taps spans the bigger craft guys we all know to many of the smaller and newer breweries. They've been around long enough to have established good relationships with the various distributors in town which gives them a better than average chance to get one of the two kegs of that super-special-limited-release-blood-organge-watermelon-wheat-british malt-double ipa-dry hooped and infused with cocoa nibs you've been looking for. No, seriously., they often get some unusual stuff that you might not ever see again. Pricing is a little steep IMHO, but that's generally true at any growler store. Their overhead is there and they don't have a big food or bar revenue stream to help offset. The store is clean and well organized. They also have a selection of single bottles and cans that you can buy as one-offs, or make a sixer for yourself. They also seem to have a side-piece interest in smoking and grilling. They are a Big Green Egg dealer it seems, although I've not purchased (yet) any BGE stuff there, so can't give a POV on that. There is also a small but interesting selection of rubs, spice mixes and BBQ sauces. There is also a deli case that usually has a few items from Heywood's Meat Market up in Roswell. Stop in, grab a taster flight and explore the amazing rainbow of flavors that beer offers. Even if just to educate your palate. It doesn't ALL have to be 420. Honestly.

Overall, nice bottle and tap selection. OK atmosphere. A little strip-mallish. The service is generally not any good. The bartenders seem to think that they know all. The tap list color coding seems like a good idea, but in practice is not great. Better to just organize all the styles together. Prices are a bit high. I think that I've been to somewhere around 100 beer bars or breweries and this is in the bottom 5 in service quality, friendliness, and communal vibe.

So glad a place like this opened in Smyrna. Stout Brothers has an incredible selection of craft brews that seems to be ever changing (if you follow them on Facebook, you can know when new stuff comes on tap). The staff always seem to be very knowledgeable and helpful on recommending based on what you like. Does it cost more than going to the store and picking up a 6 pack? Of course (depending on what you get), but you are able to get beers that are rare and are not always available anywhere else in Atlanta. Whenever I have company in, I always seem to take them here to do a beer sampler. (HINT: if you do a social media check in, you get a dollar off the sample card) If you live in Atlanta and like beer, you have to make a visit to check this place out.

This was one of the first places we found when we moved here and I liked it a lot then. We kind of had a hiatus from going and then all of a sudden we started going almost every weekend and it's even better than before. I love it here. Good staff, phenomenal beer selection, great snacks. Just a really good place.

Excellent selection! They always have shelves filled. I appreciate some of their suggestions! They know their product! Great staff! I will return

Finally was able to stop by and pick up a growler this last week for my husband. I was given excellent assistance in selecting a beer and enjoyed my chat with the owner. I was thrilled to be able to use a growler we already owned, not having to buy one specifically from their business. I will definitely return for more!

The weak, the lonely, the happy, the grateful, dogs, children, all walks of life are welcome here. It's like coming into your frat brother's apartment to try some of their best beers in their fridge. They'll teach you, rough you up and make you better for it, and they'll lend an open ear when you are feeling sad. It's the most epic place to taste a beer and take some home. It's like a hipster cheers where everyone knows your name and gives you beers to try so you can buy a big jug to take home. It's more than a beer tasting, growler buying experience, it's your home away from home. My only request is to install a step rail so I can lean on the bar like I'm in an old-fashioned western movie getting ready to get in a brawl.

If you appreciate craft beer, Stout Brothers is the place for you. On any given day they have 48 beers, ciders, shandies and sours on tap. They will sell you a flight so you can taste several of their offerings which is a lot of fun. The guys who work there are very knowledgeable about beer and that's super important to me. We've been there two or three times to have growlers filled (and refilled!) and we always do a tasting every time because their beer selection changes all the time. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected to enjoy something called Jekyll Pineapple Habanero IPA but that's the beauty of being able to buy a flight - you can branch out of your comfort zone and try things with no commitment. Turns out, it's delicious! Anyway, for you beer peeps, you gotta swing by Stout Brothers one of these days and see what you're missing!

One of the best beer selections OTP. Great staff that can help you find whatever you are craving. The inside is dog and kid friendly. Also, the surrounding area is open container, which makes grabbing a beer and hanging outside even better.

I want to start by saying I have been to this bar previously and had an amazing experience which is the only reason I am giving 3 stars and not 1. Today I had a horrible experience 100% based on the bartender working. My friend asked for a recommendation on a beer only to be told "I don't have one". Then he asks what is your favorite beer " I don't have one." Server was very rude and pointed to a color chart and said here are the types of beer. Then I was interested in a very expensive cider and I asked if I could taste it, he said no I could buy a flight if I wanted to sample a beer. Side note there was also no atmosphere, no music playing. Overall a very negative experience and the server was so rude. If I had not been pleased with the expert prior to this one I would probably not return.

Stout Brothers is a great spot to sample craft beer. The staff is friendly and not pretentious, so you can learn about the beers they have as you sample them. They have a great selection of growler and crowler sizes, so you can take home as much or as little of your favorite brew as you'd like. In addition to beer, they also sell snacks and specialty items like the pickled green beans my wife loves in her Bloody Marys. If you love craft beer and are in the Smyrna area, get over to Stout Brothers and check them out. You won't be disappointed.

This place is super nifty. Be warned you can only do one flight, they are not a bar, so pick 5 and then buy some to go home! The flights were $7 I think? It ends up rounding out to a full beer. They have A LOT of selection and are manned by a beer loving staff. They had some great recommendations and suggestions for us. Also when you buy beer they have growlers to be filled and they are priced pretty well. I would definitely go back!

What a little gem in a quaint little town! This place had over 60 beers, cider and mead on tap! Plus they sold wine too. A flight was $7 for 5 selected beers. They also had a great mix of beers, i.e. IPA, Pilsner, Belgian, Porter and Stout. The pumpkin mead was fantastic! Very light and refreshing! Cool atmosphere.

Fantastic experience today & I'm really glad because this place is in my 'hood & I want to like it!! Last time here the chaps behind the bar were not so friendly but this time... They were Rockstars!! Friendly, knowledgeable, funny... Just awesome! I don't like beer but they suggested I try a cider& guess what? Delicious!! Then they suggested a raspberry lemonade thingy & I loved it & guess what??? It was beer!! So we bought a few bottles & bought a jalapeño pimento cheese spread that I cannot wait to try! What a great visit to Stout Brothers!!

This is a great place to grab a really good beer. They always have a versatile selection and to test out a flight of beers (5 total) is ridiculously cheap. Bartenders are awesome and friendly and will provide a good recommendation if you don't know where to start. I'll definitely be coming here regularly!

We stopped in on Saturday night and had a few beers, great selection. My husband is a big craft beer fan so we will definitely be back

Stopped in for the first time last night and man, what a nice place. Absolutely fantastic growler selection and plenty of bottles to choose from as well. Not to mention the fine selection of non-beer related items. I highly appreciate their selection of craft bitters, syrups and tonics. Friendly staff, and even though we missed out of samples his knowledge was more than enough to help us make some choices. Will definitely be back! Only con I'll put is that the growler prices are pretty expensive compared to other local stores by easily a couple of bucks. I'm assuming it's just the area again, but we'll probably be sticking more with bottles in the future.

This place is the shit, and Michael is the man. If you want to expand your palette and your mind, check this place. Your dome is about to be blown.

Absolutely love this place. Amazing, friendly staff and they really know their stuff when it comes to great beer and Big Green Eggs.
