"Wild Heaven is widely respected for building the groundwork for Georgia’s craft beer scene by contract brewing before opening their own brewery and putting Avondale Estates on the map a decade ago. This brewery continues to pour year-rounds like the Emergency Drinking Beer, ATL Easy Ale, Euro-Style Pilsner, and the Sunburst IPA, plus seasonal odes to traditional European styles and Garden Beer collaborations with Atlanta Botanical Garden. Their spacious West End BeltLine location is a special treat since the famed El Tesoro operates an outpost here. Sipping craft beer while chomping on some of the city’s best tacos feels like mastering life." - dennis malcolm byron
"Wild Heaven has opened a third location of its brewery and taproom in partnership with Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. The 93-seat taproom also has a courtyard and a fireplace. Wild Heaven favorites like Emergency Drinking Beer and Sunburst IPA are available, plus head brewer Josh Franks will release exclusive beers here. A full kitchen with an onsite smoker ensures Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q will sling plenty of meats and treats. Local Georgia wine is also available. The brewery’s new location is an upside amid many Georgia breweries closing recently, including Elsewhere Brewing and Eventide Brewing." - Henna Bakshi
"Launched in 2010 in Avondale Estates, Wild Heaven is another one of Georgia’s early craft beer pioneers. Now with a second location at Lee and White, the brewery expands its seasonal selections, like the Garden Beers and Happiest Hour series and other brews, including the BeltLiner saison. The beer garden behind the brewery in West End is hard to beat on a pleasant afternoon. Head in to grab coffee at the counter inside the taproom daily from Finca to Filter or tacos, mulitas and burritos, from El Tesoro in the afternoon and evening." - Eater Staff
"The Lee and White taproom and beer garden along the Westside Beltline trail is a collaborative brewery space that houses a coffee counter (Finca to Filter) and hosts restaurant kitchen partnerships, most recently a takeover that pairs the taproom’s beers with a Tex‑Mex menu. To celebrate that partnership the brewery released Lager Libre, a Tex‑Mex lager garnished with lime and added to its lineup. The operation is also expanding its offerings and footprint, planning a combined brewery and distillery under a farm winery program and partnering with a well‑known barbecue operator to open a brewery-and-smokehouse concept with on-site smoking, a taproom serving beer, wine, and cocktails, and a bar overlooking the brewing facility." - Beth McKibben
"The second location of this Avondale Estates brewery opened in 2019 along the Westside Beltline trail in West End, and the sprawling beer garden here is one of its best features. Flanking the Beltline, and running the length of the brewery, Wild Heaven’s beer garden includes both shady and sunny spots fashioned with casual conversation areas equipped with Adirondack chairs and long picnic tables perfect for gathering groups of friends (or meeting new ones.) Order European-style pilsners, a Belgian saison, and even a porter spiced with nutmeg, cardamom, and coffee called Garden Beer from the taproom or container bar outside. Pair that beer with a shrimp po’boy, brisket sandwich, or mango habanero wings. Pop by in the mornings for coffee and pastries from Finca to Filter inside the taproom. Dogs on leashes welcome. Family friendly." - Beth McKibben
