Red Brick Brewing

While in Atlanta, a quick glance at local deals in Groupon brought my husband and I here on a Sunday a couple weeks back. Green Bay Washington game was on and the vibe was super chill. We had missed the brewery tour yet we got a private one nonetheless. Service was fantastic (wish I could recall the guys names) and the 6 beer tasting tickets hit the spot. No regrets whatsoever.

Fun times!
Had an awesome time here over the weekend! We got there near opening time on friday and it was not too crowded yet, and we weren’t sure what to think. That changed quickly though, it got pretty crowded, yet there was never a wait at the bar. You may think the place is tiny when you first walk in, but this is one of the only brewery I’ve seen that opens the warehouse, and lets people hang out right were there beer is brewing, which is pretty awesome. There was also a live band playing, making it a little more exciting.
As for the beer:
I got a little worried when I didn’t find many light beers on the menu, but after trying several different kinds, I ended up liking just about everything I tried. My 2 favorites were the Divine Bovine, Chai Milk Stout, and Southern Roots, a Sweet Potato Brown Ale. I just saw that they also have a Belgium Ale, I will definitely have to go back to try this when it’s on rotation! Also, the staff here was super laid back and really nice.

Came here with a Groupon deal with a friend. It was my first Atlanta brewery tour and had nothing to expect, except that I had forgotten everything that was said on the tour as I was unfamiliar with craft beer. The tour wasn’t much of a tour either as we only stepped a few steps inside the brewing area since there was a dangerous process going on further in (something about glass colliding and flying out). Only 3 beers were being served at the time, but for some reason, on that day, one of the 3 was out. So we only sampled 2 of their beers — the Hoplanta and Laughing Skull Amber Ale. This was surely a disappointment, but the ping pong table made up for that. Despite the severe beer variety, playing ping pong helped pass the time in between the two. The beers themselves weren’t bad, but did not turn me into a craft beer lover. If I ever go back, I will call ahead of time to make sure there’s more stuff running on tap.

First brewery tour I’ve ever been on. They’re not actually allowed to sell alcohol. Instead they sell you ticket stubs which you can then use to redeem samples of beer. I purchased a Groupon for the tour, a souvenir pint glass, and t-​shirt for two people for $ 31 so it was well worth it. The tour itself isn’t extensive since it’s not a massive brewery, but the beer is good and the people are friendly. Their lobby-​type area has a ping pong table which is really fun and the seating outside is great on a sunny, breezy day.

This was my second visit to Red Brick, the first being for a NYE event. The most recent visit was on a Friday from 530−7pm for their tour and tasting. I chose ‘option 1′ which was around $ 12 (don’t quote me) for their brewery tour, 6 drink tickets, and souvenir glass. The high gravity 9% beers cost 2 tickets, while normal 4−5%ers were 1 ticket each. The pours were ¾ pours for those who are doing the math. I enjoyed the live band outside and thought it was cool that a food truck showed up and so did a man with his own grill. My lack of 5 stars is because we waited until 7pm for the tour and were disappointed by not seeing even one tour being given… not sure what happened there. Plus, it was really hot and clammy inside the area where the beer was actually brewed. A positive to end on was the fact that there were 3 bars total, one with all the beers and the other two serving some more popular brews. Do visit and do be prepared for a good time!

I love local breweries (work at one myself) and I have no idea why it took me so long to get over here to Red Brick Brewing when it’s only 4 miles from my home.
Lovely environment and great patrons. And the brew masters and workers there are so friendly and welcoming! Totally make you feel like you’re at home. On Thursdays they do trivia too where you can win things like free brewery tours and t-​shirts and other things… and it’s free to play to boot.
There’s a wide variety of beers in the tasting room here. I loved their Imperial Stout and their Beard Envy (heavier beers) but Hibiscuwit is quite lovely too: lighter but with sophisticated taste. if you come with a group, I think you’d find everyone would find something they’d like here.
Definitely will be back! I’m just ashamed it took me this long to get here in the first place.

This is a super chill place to hang out and sample some beers. They have trivia on certain nights that can get very crowded. On the crowded days, the space can get pretty cramped. There’s a decent sized parking lot in which they hold their annual Craft Beer Festival. It was a great event with plenty of beer, live music, and games.

It is definitely crowded but I greatly appreciate people of red brick brewing Company for hosting the Georgia beer craft Festival. They maintain everything very well had very friendly staff all throughout and I can say that without a doubt they have some great individual beers as well!

Good beer + good people = 5 Stars! Enjoyed our visit to Red Brick. Their 21^st Anniversary beer is top of the mark. The tour was fantastic and very informative, but admittedly, it’s hot as helles in the brewery. Incredible Groupon deal made this an even better visit, but know this, Red Brick should be on your Bucket list!

Had the most awesome time this Saturday afternoon with my boyfriend. Came to visit the brewery with a Groupon I got for $ 29 that was on the verge of expiring. We got two tshirts, glasses, and twelve tastings that were actually almost full beers. Can’t beat that with a stick!
Lots of people and a really great live band. We will definitely be returning. Oh! And God bless that gentleman selling lamb burgers outside the brewery. Lorrrdd finger lickin’ good.

Pragmatics:
–Location is odd. Just be vigilant when navigating to here; it can be easy to make a wrong turn and wind up lost.
–Parking is plentiful.
–when you enter the brewery, turn right immediately to find the cashier where you buy your tickets.
–you get kicked out at 8pm for some reason. (Some law?)
–loud. Due to music. Difficult to converse.
The Gist of Things:
–Go in, buy your tasting package [beer glass, 6 tickets] for $ 12.
–Some beers are 2 tickets others are 1.
Highlights:
–beers were awesome. Personally, I really enjoyed their stout.
–they list the IBU (international bittering units) next to each beer so you know how bitter each beer is. Useful for those who don’t like bitter beers. And yes, they do brew beers long the whole spectrum of IBU, so you’re sure to find one that suits your palette.

Great beer, but they were out of almost all of them.
I am from Colorado, where we apparently have very liberal craft brew laws, so coming to Altanta was a little shock. Tasting hours were from 1 – 4, and you pay $ 12 for a pint glass and 6 tickets. I agree with everyone, 6 tickets was MORE than enough!
What was a bit disappointing, was that they were out of all but 4 beers when we went. Luckily the ones we had were very good (Especially for the Chai beer!).
I would go back, if I travels take me back to Atlanta!

Excellent beer that they allow you to sample for just $ 12. They give you a nice souvenir glass and six tickets with each one getting you a pour of beer. The size of that pour really depends – sometimes, they’ll fill up just half of the glass, other times, they’ll fill it up almost all the way. If you want to ensure that you’ll get a full pour, that’ll cost you two tickets. Regardless, it’s an excellent value for a sampling of really good beer.
When we came, they were serving a brown ale, an amber ale, a stout, and an IPA. They ran out of the stout shortly before I got a chance to try it but the three others were solid. The IPA wasn’t quite as hoppy as I expected while the other two tasted more like a typical amber and brown ale. I thought they were all really good and found myself coming back for multiple servings of the brown ale.
The place is a little off-​the-​beaten path in an office park that we never would have found if if weren’t for our friends who live in the city. They have a lot of space, including a patio out in front where someone set up a grill while we were there. It was pretty crowded but not packed with both other beer drinkers and lots of cute dogs!
We went on a «tour,» which mostly just consisted of a brewery employee giving us an overview of Red Brick’s history and its current operations. Unfortunately, he didn’t walk us around the facility. In addition to focusing on all things Red Brick, he also went into some detail about Atlanta’s beer scene and Georgia’s crazy liquor laws, all of which was really interesting. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d love to come back and try that stout!

Hubby and I took my dad and his wife here while they were visiting from out of town. We got the Groupon deal, which was perfectl! We all had a ball. The alcohol tasting was plenty enough-​We should have taken Über :) The souvenir glasses are great quality… The tour is not really a tour per se, since you are standing in the same area in what feels like a warehouse while the guide talks. None the less, super fun and the guide was funny and very knowledgeable. If you haven’t been here, grab the Groupon and go!
Don’t forget to take Über or have a friend drop you off so you can drink all your pours with no guilt!

Not much of a beer drinker, but I didn’t like the beers they served. Not my style. Lot of people seem to like it – not necessarily for their beer, but for their «tastings» offer, and «perks» you get doing the «tastings.»
Good tour, though. So bring your out-​of-​state folks here if they are into the brewery tour thing.

Despite the fact that I do not love the beers that Red Brick puts out, this brewery offers one of the best brewery tours I’ve been on– beating out multiple New Orleans and other ATL breweries.
Why? Because they know their stuff!
We bought the scoutmob offer ($ 24 for two people: tour, t-​shirts, pint glasses and all the beeer!), and although it was a bit of a rip-​off considering the tour and tastings are free (you pay for the pint glass if you want larger «tastes»), we had a fantastic time! It was worth it to me just to drag me down there to visit.
Our tour guide was personable, intelligent, and engaging with the group. He answered every question easily, or found out the answers for us. Although the tour is not very long or very immersive (I wanted to walk around and touch things, but I guess we really can’t do that anywhere), it was informative and I can honestly say I might actually pass a beer quiz.
The facility is great– reminiscent of a neighborhood bar with a fun little outdoor area (dog-​friendly!) — can you say drunken’ cornhole tournament?!
I’d definitely go back with a group.

Red Brick Brewery is a good option if you’re in Atlanta. 10 dollars gets you on the tour and a pint glass with four tickets. Each ticket gets you a beer from their tap.
If you want to come solely for the tour, you need to time it exactly right. The tour is not long and you stand among the vats and don’t move much.
If you want to socialize with friends and have a good time, come anytime. They have a couple couches and plenty of table space. There’s ping pong indoors (along with a gift shop) and cornhole outdoors. Come and get your drink on with friends or enemies at Red Brick Brewery!

Red Brick Brewing is a solid choice for a couple of hours of fun with friends. Georgia has that weird law where a brewery can’t sell beer directly to customers on site, so Red Brick sells a pint glass with four vouchers for ‘free samples’ for ten bucks. Each voucher gets you half a pint of one of their available beers, and sometimes a bit more! That’s a great deal for ten clams, especially since the beer is cool and you can learn a lot about beer from their tour. The tour guy gives one of the most succinct and thorough presentations on how beer is made I’ve ever heard.
Ping pong and tables are available inside, and in the brewery itself, too. Food trucks and BBQ make up the whole range of available food, so don’t come with too big of an appetite, but the beer and atmosphere of fun will make Red Brick a place you go back to again and again.

I have to admit that I was skeptical when my friends invited us to meet them here one random Saturday afternoon… but I was curious, so we went. The location is as far back on Defoor Hills as you can go, so it’s industrial. That seems to be a developing theme with new breweries, but I digress.
More people were there than I expected, which was a nice surprise. $ 10/​each gets you a pint glass and six healthy pours. The atmosphere seems genuine; you can tell that they actually brew beer here because the seating area is out next to the tanks. The selection is great and I’ve been remiss to have ignored them for so long. A couple of IPAs, a double IPA, a tasty stout and a couple others I can’t honestly remember, were the selections of the day. What I do remember is sitting there in disbelief that I was drinking really good craft beer produced by the same company who mass-​produced that awful Killian’s ripoff back in the 90’s.
For those of you who remember the original Red Brick Ale, you should definitely come try on the persona of the new Red Brick brewery. It’s not only refreshing, it’s reassuring, to know that old school institutions like this one can change for the better.

Went for a tasting and tour on a Wednesday night. They offer a glass with 4 tasting tickets for $ 10. My husband and I went while on vacation, for what better way would you get 8 full glasses of beer with $ 20?
Walking in, they have a nice chill outside patio, then a small shop with t-​shirts and such, and then a bar area stuffed with high tops and couches. During this particular night, they had 4 selections offered. We tried each of them with our 4 drink tickets. My favorite was the Dog Days; my husband preferred the Hoplanta.
The tour was subpar. You walk into the warehouse and stand in the middle of it for 30 minutes while getting the history, how to make beer, etc. I think the tour guide had a tough time controlling the drunks in the crowd and their idiot questions. I probably would have been happier skipping the tour as it was hot in the warehouse and farther away from the beer.
Like I said before, not bad price for beer right from the source, but there are better tastings and tours in the area, if that’s what you are looking for. If you just want cheap beer and a bar-​like atmosphere after work or class, this is it.
