Guide Review - Atlanta Brewing Company
Atlanta Brewing Company tour and tasting nights attract the 20-and-30-something crowd for happy hour gatherings. The $7 admission fee buys four taste tokens and the bartenders pour generously. The brewery offers four to six seasonal beers on tap, featuring their popular creations like Red Brick Ale, or my personal favorite, Blonde.
Enjoy throwing back a few at one of the many tables, settle in on a couch in the lounge or take the drinks outside and bring your own tailgate games. Many Fridays there is live, local music in the tasting room. You have the option to head in to the brewery for a behind-the-scenes tour of how the beers are made.
