Atlanta, GABreweries

One of Atlanta's most recognizable breweries, home of the 420 Extra Pale Ale. The taproom near Midtown pairs its year-round and seasonal lineup with shareable food and a large outdoor space for events, drawing everyone from after-work crowds to weekend festival-goers.

A West Midtown location on the Beltline built around Neapolitan pizzas and outdoor firepit seating. Monday Night has expanded well beyond Atlanta, but The Grove remains a popular gathering spot along the Northwest Trail for walkers, cyclists, and groups settling in for a few pours.

A Summerhill brewery built on Belgian and European brewing traditions, pouring lagers and ales alongside Belgian frites and schnitzel. The lemon-pepper wet wings are an unexpected pairing with the beer list, and the two-story space stays busy on game days near the old stadium grounds.

An Upper Westside brewery known for a wide range of IPAs, lagers, sours, and barrel-aged beers, plus rotating slushies, seltzers, and draft cocktails for non-beer drinkers. It now operates two Atlanta locations, keeping a broad list that gives every kind of drinker something to order.

A Toco Hills taproom pairing Wild Heaven's Emergency Drinking Beer and ATL Easy Ale with ribs and pulled chicken from Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q, making it as much a barbecue stop as a brewery. The combined format lets one group split a beer flight and a barbecue plate in the same booth.
