The Atlanta Beer Beat sheds light on news of brewery openings, special tappings, firkins and one-off batches, bottle releases, dinners, pairings and more!

We’re just like the rest of the country now: walk into a brewery, go straight to the bar, order a beer and pay for it. It’s almost too easy!

Check out our Atlanta Beer Beat Calendar!
