15 Best Craft Breweries near Sandy Springs

“Every time I come here I leave the night drunk and full of laughs, haha. I love their wide selection of beer & seltzer options, and their bartenders are amazing and always easy to talk to! We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and they were extremely accommodating!! We had about 15 people and were able to reserve one of their private rooms. Their on-site food vendor was A-MAZING and definitely went above and beyond both in food and customer service. 1000/10 would recommend this place whether you are just wanting to hang with a few friends or bringing people together for a celebration!“

“We LOVE Pontoon! They always have something new. The staff is AMAZING.Try a slushie! #SlushieQueenGonna miss this place. :( my husband and I made this our Saturday spot when we first started dating...and this is where we got married.Please go support them before they close!!!“

“Lillie was an amazing hostess (with the mostest)! She guided us to the beer that best fit our needs. This place is a hidden gem ? and you definitely need to check it out. Oh and if you’re looking for a basic beer (stop judging) Fiesta is delicious!“

“The service and ambiance were amazing. I came alone and Heather made me feel comfortable, I did the full axe throwing for the full hour and almost master it. Amber was amazing at the bar, kept an interesting conversation and kept me feeling comfortable. A fun and yet relaxing place. I highly recommend.“

“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).“

“Love this place! Right near where OG red brick used to be this brewery has a squarely German school of brewing focus and execute classic styles well like crystal weizen, doppelbock, they’ve got a Nz Pils that is so good. Staff is super friendly. Top marks“

“Charming venue with fun, passionate staff and overall nerdy camaraderie! Drinks are not as sweet as I prefer, but I had tried the experimental flavors; I do recommend the house Ethereal (peach). I would come back with friends to play the board games!“

“Great selections of brews for all palates. They also sell Brewing supplies for home brewers. Sometimes they host cooking classes. They've added a Teacher's Lounge full of pinball machines, had so much fun. They will have tourneys every other Tues. Check out the schedule.“

“Love coming to Variant!! I love that they always have some delicious sours on tap, and really great seltzers too. So much more variety than your typical brewery menu. Lots of fun events here from Plant Shows to Trivia to Pumpkin Carving/Gingerbread decorating in the cooler months. I love that there is something for everyone, including NA options like sodas and kombuchas. Great atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Most highly recommend for an elevated beer drinking experience.“

“What a gem! So glad we stumbled onto this brewery. Large indoor outdoor space( can easily accommodate several large groups), dogs aloud in and out... plenty full parking... incredibly staff... board games. What more can you ask for? Food variety is limited to pizza and 2 salads. Amazing drinks! I loved the lavender lemonade! Overall: a fun experience.“

“. If you love cider, you will LOVE Urban Tree. If you don't love cider, Urban Tree will make you LOVE cider. Hands down the best cider I have ever had.. The staff are always Incredibly friendly, even the bouncer, and all interactions are easy-going.. Depending on when you're there, it can be quiet, which can be a pro or con. Additionally, it's in kind of a strange building, but don't judge a book by it's cover.. I always like to conserve money, so I don't go crazy when I visit, but definitely reasonable prices.“

“I've had Scofflaw beer before but have never been to their brewery. Located in the West Midtown area, we made a hike here but thought was worth it. It was a super cold afternoon so there was virtually no one hanging outside. Their outdoor area had a big tv screen, bocce set up, basketball and tons of tables. Would make a perfect hang out spot once the weather warms up. They had tons of tables inside as well and the center of the public area of the brewery is where you can order your beer. As I don't really drink, they had options of hot cocoa and hot cider where I ordered the cider. They also had bags of snacks like chips or cookies for $1. They had a few TV screens inside as well. People here are super friendly. Will definitely come back here just to hang out once it gets warmer again.“

“This location is situated at The Works in Chattanooga, so there is a vast parking lot available. The first two hours are free. I quickly found an available spot and took the short walk over to Scofflaw. This location is a nice size with seating everywhere and plenty of beer to choose from. We approached the counter, and Wifey asked about a lager and then the wheat, but they were out of both of them. She decided to try an IPA instead, which she enjoyed. I ordered a flight with a few variations of the hazy IPA and a brown ale. We took our beers and went to the front near the grass. We drank our beers and did some people-watching. This place is definitely kid and pet-friendly. We enjoyed celebrating GA Beer Day here and will definitely be coming back.“

“Absolutely love the team at Gate city brewing. I decided to book their back taproom for a private event for my brothers proposal party. I worked with Grier directly and she was an absolute rockstar to work with. She would respond immediately every time I had a question or concern and it was super easy to book the space and no hidden fees, etc. The day of the event, Becca and Bartender, Jay were amazing to work with as well. They served all my guests with smiles on their face at all times, and never once gave us any trouble for the 4 hours we were there. Highly recommend working with them if you’re looking for a low-key event space!“

“Approaching the brewery, I noticed they had a huge parking lot, but it desperately needed repaving. There were potholes everywhere. I quickly snagged a spot, and we entered the Tap Room. The place was huge with seating everywhere. They have a stage for live music. The website said someone would be performing from 3-6, but when we arrived, the band was packing up their instruments at around 5:15. Wifey and I, along with a group of fellow beer enthusiasts, didn’t miss the band and were chatting it up, keeping the night going. SteadyHand has a nice-sized bar, and we came here specifically looking for the Cloudland Hazy IPA, but when we checked what they had available, it was not listed. Wifey ordered a Lager, and I opted for a DIPA called Gimme the Lup. We took our beers and joined the group. We were good after one round and headed out. We would definitely return to try some other options.“
