Beer is consistently exceptionally good, usually with a decent variety of choices. Space is small and cozy, and open to the outside. Branded disc golf equipment available for purchases, and there's some used equipment and a practice basket set up in the parking lot. Also a grassy/tree'd outdoor seating area. One of my favorite breweries in Atlanta (if not my favorite).

Awesome local brewery! The staff was friendly and super knowledgeable.Highly recommend the Thrilla In Manila sour, it's one of the best sours I've ever had.

Great selection of beer: IPAs, sours, and stouts. Bartender was very knowledgeable.

My first time here as a vendor. It’s a nice space, staff was awesome and came out to talk to us. A great vibe. The Berry Citrus Sparkles seltzers is delicious. I look forward to hanging out here during the spring and summer months.

Consistently fantastic brews. One of the best breweries in ATL. Love the annual Fresh Hop IPAs ?

So that's the cool little spot. You have some indoor and a lot of outdoor area to sitting. They have a little park bench area, kind of on a hill so you may want to be careful. And it's in the middle of a forest but the point is there is room. They got a couple games there like cornhole but most importantly they have beer. They make their own, they brew in the back, they only have a certain amount but what they have is pretty decent. It's real low key and it's around the corner so if you don't know you're going, You would definitely not even notice it's there. They have a sign that says brewery pointing to the back of the building so that's the only indicator lol. If you go in there though, the people there will talk to you and give you the ups and downs of each type of beer they have, whatever they have on tap, and they're super informative. I've been a few times and I haven't been disappointed.

Great brewery with a fantastic rotating collection of beers that leave you with a greater appreciation of the classics.Service: Wonderful dude up front with a wide range of knowledge on the beers at hand and could give a recommendation in a heartbeat. Also, very loose with the pours when getting a taste for a beer or two. Incredibly nice when someone fell and gave the brewery a good vibe.Ambiance: Has some party games at hand to play with friends and outdoor seating for a different vibe from the cool, concrete vibe inside the brewery.Plenty of parking available and a decent amount of seating

Looking for a place to relax and share a beer or seltzer with friends, Contrast Artisan Ales offers an open indoor and exterior setting for your enjoyment. Offers activities, corn hole frisbee golf, with seating indoors, umbrella seating, tree covered seating. With in house brews and seltzers on tap, Contrast takes their small footprint to make a large impact in serving the customer. Great service with deep knowledge and excitement of their products the staff shows investment and value in service to the customer. Snacks/food are offered but are not their prime focus. Highly recommend for a great after dinner or before dinner local spot in Chamblee.

A hole in the wall style brewery. Obviously they spent their money on making good beers. This is my 3rd time here and finally adjusting to the mom and pop vibe. Good beers with wide selection. Also sparkles (seltzers and sours). Give it a try!

A nice quiet tucked away brewery not far from Buford highway. Ordered the thrilla in Manila at 5:45pm on a Thursday while waiting for my husband to meet me for dinner. I was the only person in the brewery and got to enjoy a couple samples of their beers, chat with the bartender and listen to the good music (indie rock). They have a couple lagers, a DIPA and some spurs and seltzers (they call them sparkles) to choose from.There's some cool art murals to look at too. Worth a stop before or after Buford!
Great beer and atmosphere with a focus on disc golf ?

I'm giving 3 stars because parking is a bit tight and there's not a lot of indoor seating, but the offering is pretty decent for such a all place. We only had time for 1 so I opted for the Margarita Sparkles. Tasted like a marg but lighter. I would get it again. And hubby enjoyed the pale ale.

Nice small fest. Plenty of plants for sale. Interesting jewelry. Friendly people.

The brewery density in the midtown area I can't even count. Though as you venture further out the brewery diaspora has not commenced and it's a rare site to find one. I like the location of the spot, and the vibes. It has a local feel with the workers feeling like just a neighbor filling up a beer for the local destress at the end of the day. I rate breweries more on ambiance than beer, so this place hits home for me. The beers are also solid as well, and for the nuanced discourse about the hops the neighbors can help. Overall any local joint where I can get a chill beer is high on my list, no problems with parking, no over priced beer, I think I've found my spot. Cheers.

I went to Contrast on Saturday, 5/27/23. It was a beautiful and sunny day and we sat outside. Plenty of outside seating, which is super cute with picnic tables and string lights in the trees. I got the Thrilla in Manila Sour and it was AMAZING. Probably the best sour I’ve ever had. 100% recommend!Small parking lot, but we were able to easily find a spot. There was also a small food stand right outside!
