Figment Kombucha/The People's Pantry Brewery •
1085 Baxter St, Athens

“I was next door at the bookstore and my husband came to Figment to check them out. Then he called me to come and try their kombucha. The server was very nice and gave us four samples to try: Orange Blossom, Ginger Lemongrass, Coffee & Biscotti, Strawberry Guava. I've never really been into kombucha but theirs were pretty good and not as sour as I expected it to be. The Orange Blossom, the Ginger Lemongrass and the Strawberry Guava were very good but the Coffee one definitely wasn't for me. My favorite was the blueberry lavender one. They didn't have it on tap, so we got a can to go.“

Southern Brewing Company Brewery • $
231 Collins Ind Blvd, Athens

“Great beer in an open friendly setting. The indoor and outdoor areas are dog friendly, kid friendly, all friendly. There appears to be a really cute cat, taking care of things after hours I'm sure!There was a great selection of styles available when we visited and each were very well done: märzen, Irish red, hazy IPA, standard IPA and schwarzbier. The märzen had a lovely spice twist.“

Creature Comforts Downtown Taproom and Brewery Brewery • $$
271 W Hancock Ave, Athens

“Breweries are no longer uncommon, especially in lively and nuanced towns like Athens. So, to shine, breweries must have remarkable beer and a unique vibe. With a broad selection of high quality beer, dim lighting, and droning music, Creature Comforts checks all of these boxes. Being from out of town, I stumbled upon this place by asking a random student of UGA which brewery would be considered the ‘can’t miss’ spot in Athens. Without hesitation, he said Creature Comforts. Clearly, the students here have exceptional taste.“

Terrapin Beer Co. Brewery • $$
265 Newton Bridge Rd, Athens

“We are new to the area and went for the first time for their Wake N Bake off. We had a great time. The beer was awesome, the food the different restaurants came up with was amazing. And the people were so nice and helpful. I am currently in a wheelchair due to a broken ankle and one of the vendors helped me into and out of the ladies room (I couldn't get over the threshold). We bought some beer to take home and will be back soon. We live about an hour and a half away“

Athentic Brewing Company Brewery • $
108 Park Ave, Athens

“The beer here is excellent, there is something for everyone's taste. The part I like best is they don't only make IPA's. They have plenty of toasty brown beers (my favorite), and even alcoholic slushes. Even a non-beer drinker can find something for them here. The best part of Athentic, however, is the atmosphere. It's the sort of place where locals bring their dogs. More families than frat bros come here. It's a good place for when you want to hang out but not yell to be heard. The staff is friendly and professional.“
