10 Best Breweries in Douglasville

"Wild Heaven Beer has an original Avondale location and a second location in the West End. The taproom at the West End also doubles with their taqueria (Fina). In terms of excellent duos, craft beers and tacos are firmly in second place, ahead of the sun and moon, and behind Bill and Ted."

"A post shared by Wild Heaven Beer (@beerwildheaven) on Feb 9, 2020 at 9:20am PST. Here’s what one reviewer says about Wild Heaven West End Brewery & Gardens: “Great staff, beer and venue. I came across Wild Heaven during a recent visit to Atlanta."

"Now owned by Canadian cannabis company Aphria, the longtime Atlanta brewery still feels local, with socially distanced drinking in its mask-mandatory taproom, where wings, boiled peanuts and more are steadily coming off the line in the rear kitchen. The latest brews include the H.A.Z.Y double dry-hopped IPA and the Oasis line of hard seltzers, packed with electrolytes and vitamin C. The Woodlands Project, located next door to the main brewery, continues to be the place for experimental barrel-aged, Belgians and sour beers."

"Although gathering in Sweetwater’s taproom is currently off limits, you can still enjoy the local brewery’s various beers to-go. From 12-7pm Wednesdays through Sundays, call Sweetwater to place a drink and/or food order, and then head over to the brewery for curbside pickup.What to drink: 420 Strain Mango Kush, a wheat ale with hints of mango and hemp."

"And, it fits with their backstory of white collar workers turned pro brewers who became successful enough to open their Midtown brewery, as well as their second location, the Monday Night Garage. MNB is a dog friendly brewery, so if you're craving a cold beverage and you got no one to watch Fido, you know what to do. They are a little too far South to brew Puppers Beer though."

"One of the most popular breweries on the Westside, Monday Night started as a men's Bible study group that brewed at home on weeknights. Today, they have a lineup of excellent beers available in their taproom and events like discounted pint nights."

"A non-alcoholic ginger soda is very popular with kids, who are welcome to visit with parents. Lots of places to play games, like cornhole and shuffleboard are available. Leashed dogs are invited, too."

"This small Grant Park brewery launched in 2011 just up the road from the retail and restaurant complex the Beacon on Grant Street. Eventide has become part of the tight-knit community here and hosts food truck Fridays as well as regular neighborhood gatherings like trivia and the Grant Park farmers market during the winter."

"Soft drinks are available for kids, who are often seen enjoying the outside areas at this brewery in Grant Park. Families picnic on the lawn, and dogs are welcome, too.Hours: Wed. 4-9 p.m.; Thur.-Fri."

"Not far from Atlanta's oldest attraction, Zoo Atlanta, Eventide Brewing was launched by a group of friends from a beer kit. They have weekly tacos and trivia nights along with other fun events."

"Fresh ingredients are the key to this westside brewery, where local art hangs from the walls (sometimes quite psychedelic), and beers have become broader in flavor and scope — take the new Havana Night guava sour or the new, year-round Game Night hazy IPA. Second Self has also jumped into seltzers with the Rudi’s brand of ginger turmeric, cucumber basil, and other flavors ready for purchase in cans. Watch for restaurant pop-ups here."

"Second Self Beer Company is a craft brewery in West Midtown Atlanta, GA. We believe layers of character and flavor can be built to be greater than the sum of its parts. Our no-compromise approach to both ingredients and techniques ensures a quality craft product for our consumers."

"Founded in Woodstock in 2014, this European-influenced brewery is named for the Protestant reform movement. The co-founder is an evangelical pastor who is quite tolerant when it comes to the buzz juice, as fans who love Reformation’s year-round beers, like Stark toasted porter, Jude tripel, and Cadence Belgian ale, can attest. With locations in Canton and its newest specialty production taproom and beer garden in Smyrna, the brewery also sells limited brews like a cookies and cream stout and a rosé ale, and have Grand Champion BBQ as a next door neighbor for hungry brew fans."

"With a second location in downtown Woodstock and a third location in Smyrna, Canton's Reformation Brewery is building a strong ATL presence. A summer cornhole league sounds fantastic (Woodstock taproom). Reformation brings in food trucks and pairs their delicious craft beer with live music events."

"This all-ages brewery in Woodstock is especially kid-friendly on Sundays. Whole family events, like game nights, bring together kids, parents and grandparents around entertaining board games and drinks. Look for their locations in Canton and Smyrna, too.Hours: Sun.-Wed."

"Brewpub Best End Brewing opened in September 2019 at the Lee + White complex in West End just off of the Westside Beltline trail.

"The highly rated 18,000-square-foot brewery in the Bolton area has a taproom that is open daily. Enjoy Scofflaw's popular Basement IPA at one of their events like yoga classes."

Details of current and upcoming exhibitions here."

"The Center for Civil and Human Rights is a powerful, moving museum that ties the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s with the today's global Human Rights movement. Visitors can tour a number of permanent and temporary exhibits, including the Morehouse College collection of MLK memorabilia, an interactive gallery of the Civil Rights Movement and a human rights exhibit that encourages onlookers to identify with modern-day activists around the globe who are being persecuted in their own countries. Expect to see emotionally raw images and portrayals at this new Atlanta attraction, watching, seeing, hearing and interacting with history in an intimate and modern setting."

"Inaugurated in 2014, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights has quickly become one of Atlanta’s essential experiences. The museum champions the struggles and achievements of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s, and shows how that period still resonates in contemporary events. There are some spine-tingling exhibits relating the Jim Crow era at “Rolls Down Like Water”, like a recreated lunch counter sit-in with earphones simulating the taunts and threats that were directed at activists."

"People drive to and then stand in line for the birria tacos here. Slowed-cooked and stewed, try the crunchy taco dorados dipped in red sauce stuffed with beef, goat, chicken, or jackfruit birra at this counter-service spot. Make sure to order a side of consome for dipping the tacos and an aguas frescas, too."

"Open since 1931, this historic venue has hummed at the heart of Buckhead’s nightlife for nearly 90 years. 10.5 Miles from Hotel Colee. 3110 Roswell Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305"
