6 Best Craft Breweries near Athens

“Enjoyable brewery! Had two beers while here; a hazy IPA and a ‘90’s IPA’..both were tasty for their style. The hazy IPA was a bit warm, but I’ll chalk that up to moving to a new space. The space itself is nice with a variety of seating options; most seem to opt for the bar area. Three totally closed off bathrooms and plenty of parking. I like this location more than the old one. Definitely worth checking out and supporting a local spot.“

“I love Figment! It's really nice to have a local kombucha brewery to support. The staff is very friendly and the kombucha is tasty. I have a 32 oz growler and can refill it for $12 which is way more sustainable and cheaper than buying cans--(which I do love that they package in cans). They always have a lot of interesting flavors that you can't buy at the grocery store. They also have a booth at the Athens farmers market virtually every Saturday which makes it that much more convenient to get a refill.

They also sell boutique-y pantry items in store which are cool for gifts and stuff.“

“One of my new favorite spots in Athens! The place is HUGE (indoor and outdoor) and the beer was good with a lot of variety. There is a ton going on here: Cornhole, Darts, multiple TVs, board games, and a stage for live music! Parking is super easy. The patio is dog friendly. There weren’t any food options on the menu (just snacks), but there was a pop-up stand on the day we were there serving tacos. No complaints about this place!“

“Best brewery in Athens, GA (maybe even all of GA)! Though I have since moved away from Athens, I think about how awesome the CC Brewery and Taproom is, and how unique (and delicious) the beers are. Really wish they had the supply chain to be stiocked where I currently live!“

“Amazing time!! Drew and his fellow bar tenders were more than accommodating as our rained out kids soccer tournament became a respite for the weary parents. Arrived on a Hawaiian Luau Saturday with live music, food, and $16 coupon stacks ($16=6 half pour samplers 😉 and a takeaway glass). Small town brewery feel in the middle of “Dawg” country. What else is there to say?!?“

“Amazing staff. knowledgeable and friendly. the oktoberfest was delicious“
