Atlanta, must-find brews?

[agrazela]

Going to Atlanta for a business trip next week, what are the must-find brews? I am partial to ipa's with good malt / hop balance, but willing to try whatever's good.

Try the Wrecking Bar, Twians, 5 Seasons ( several locations). All are brew pubs.

Jekyll Brewing hop dang diggity is pretty good for the south. If you can make it to the Brick Store pub or the Porter Beer Bar you will be doing well.

Looks like Brick Store it is, will definitely try the oaked Hoplanta.

Thanks all!

Good call on Brickstore. Monday night brewing just released bed head, a coffee IPA. If interested, the pic shows what's on tap at Cypress in midtown. What part of town are you in?

For convenience, Wrecking Bar and Porter are a couple blocks apart.

Tonight at Wrecking bar, their RIS aged in a rum barrel.

At Porter tonight-Monday night Blind Pirate (dipa) aged on vanilla beans and Red Brick Hoptanta on Brett.

Good job visiting Atlanta during AmericanCraft Beer Week. How long you in town? The correct answer is through Saturday morning. Trust me.

I really should think about leaving the house tonight.

Unfortunately leaving Friday morning.

Hit the Brick House. Started with a Highland Gaelic ale, followed by a Founder's All Day. They just kicked the oaked Hoplanta but brought me the last half glass gratis (very enjoyable, wish they had more.). Enjoyed those with the grits and sausage appetizer (very nice). Enjoyed a Terrapin Maggie's Farmhouse saison then a Three Taverns White Hops ipa (fantastic!) with my chicken pot pie (which was not that great). Finished up with a Left Hand milk stout (also fantastic).

All in all a fine evening of beer tourism, thanks all for the suggestions.

Good job with three Taverns white Hops. They opened last year by a guy in our Homebrew club. Slightly biased.
