6 Best Craft Breweries near Cumming

“Crooked Culture has become my go-to spot since they opened in the City Center, and for good reason. Living just 6 miles down the road, I've made this place a regular part of my routine, and every visit feels like coming home. Trisha, Jonathan, Keith, and Patrick greet me by name every time I walk in - it's that kind of place where you're not just another customer, you're part of the family. What sets them apart isn't just their amazing craft beers (though they're knocking it out of the park in that department). It's how they've built relationships with other local breweries, creating incredible collaborations that showcase the best of our local craft beer scene. The location is truly the crown jewel of Cumming City Center. Whether you're relaxing in the indoor space with the garage doors thrown open, taking in the view from the upstairs patio overlooking the center, or enjoying the side patio across from Myth & Legend - there's always a perfect spot to soak in the atmosphere. Watching dogs play while sipping on a craft beer just hits different here. As you drive into the City Center, Crooked Culture immediately catches your eye - it's become one of the most iconic spots in the area. You can't miss it from the street, and that first glimpse always draws people in. It's more than just a brewery; it's become a landmark. Patrick and his family took a huge risk opening this place, and as a small business owner, that's no small feat. They've created something special here - a place that brings people together, serves exceptional beer, and adds real value to our community. Now it's our turn to support what they've built. Thank you, Crooked Culture, for showing up every day and making our community better, one craft beer at a time.“

“Worth the quick trip outside of Helen. This brewery has a nice chill atmosphere and decent seating up at the bar with a wide selection of beers on tap that should interest even the selective palette. I enjoyed their many selections of pilseners and lagers with a favorite for their dunkel.

Service was friendly and engaging. No food here but there was a food truck (make sure you check on the days)

Again, don't miss this place if you're staying in or around Helen, it's worth the stop“

“First visit and enjoyed the vibe & food not to mention how close it is to my home.
The restaurant is very large and has two floors. Apparently an area to accommodate large parties as that evening, they were hosting to a soccer group. Unfortunately I didn't take pics of the interior, next time and then I'll update this review. There is ample parking in the outside lot. When we visited, they were not serving beer. Something about the brewery (the actual brewery for H&H told them they couldn't serve beer at the moment). It's the new building just a stones throw from restaurant.
They do have outdoors dining downstairs for those who bring their pup, plus a large bar on the main floor. Seating is booths and tables. Very casual dining! Our food was pretty good. The Brisket Melt was yummy but a bit too greasy for me. Apparently it a fan favorite so of course we had to try it.
Our son-in-laws Buffalo melt looked great and he said it was. Also the servings were very large and enough to share. Loved the giant pretzel!! It wasn't too greasy like some I've enjoyed. Our server was kind and attentive. I would have to assume that it can get pretty noisy, but on the night we went, it wasn't very crowded except for the soccer group but they were pretty separate from the main dining facility. I'd have to say, with a BIG group to feed, our orders came out pretty quickly. Love that this brewery is close to our home so we will definitely return.“

“Everyone was so friendly. Food was so good. Yummy drinks. I can’t wait to come back here.“

“some of the best beers I have ever had!“

“My company had an event at the Alpharetta location in December to celebrate the Holiday season and an acquisition we had recently completed. We brought members of both our existing company and the company we acquired. I don’t know where to start to say how pleased everyone was with the experience!For starters, the appetizer spread was out of this world. I highly recommend the crab dip and any oyster Jekyll serves you. For those less seafood oriented, those falafel things were great too.We had an incredible support staff for the event, and the managers checked on us often to ensure we were having a night to remember. And that’s exactly what we had! My newly merged team bonded over flights of great beer, tasting things together, and a few favorites rang true. Don’t skip the hop dang or the cooter brown. The seasonal stout with peppermint was a great taste as well! My personal favorite was the coffee version of the cooter brown, and several others on my team agreed!Kudos to the Jekyll team for making this first event with our new team one that we will always remember. We will definitely book another event here. Ask for Molly, she did a great job understanding our needs and not only accommodating them, but exceeding both our needs and expectations.“
