There's a Good Reason for it's Recent High Ranking!!!
Overall: we went on a westside ATL brewery tour and I had heard great things about Firemaker and also read that they were named the #2 new brewery in the US recently. It did not disappoint!! We visited about 5 breweries on our excursion and this was definitely one of the absolute best. All the beers we had were good. Cool vibe and seating on inside and out and strong customer service. Food truck was also awesome as well!
Brew: great variety for such a new brewery. We did a couple of flights (note to some other breweries, definitely a turnoff not to do flights) and were very pleased with all the selections. We had Lazy (7.5), Hazed (8), Thai (8.5), and Curry (7) and all were very strong. Honestly, we could have spent a lot more time in this one if we weren't trying to hit a few more.
Interior/Scene: very cool interior and patio space available. Located on a budding area of the westside of ATL and a beautiful view of the ATL skyline from the patio area. Can't beat a life-size cutout of Kevin Costner from Bull Durham to greet you as you walk up either! Food truck there was also fantastic. We got the kielbasa hot dog and we could have hammered plenty more food if we hadn't been on the move. They have an ATL United room, I assume for shuttles for the game, and there was a game in town that night (win!). Cool logo and branding.
Service: customer service was prompt, friendly, and helpful. They definitely can get busy pretty quickly, but they get your order and brew just as quick.
Overall: fantastic new brewery that is rapidly rising on the ATL...

And then there are the unicorns like Fire Maker that have the absolute best of both worlds. I consider myself a regular of this establishment, and a proud one at that. They frequently update their lineup, every employee is friendly and knowledgeable, and it's just a fun place to be. If you want to watch a game on TV, they got it. If you don't, they're not dominating the space. I'd tell you to ask for a specific person, but they're all simply wonderful. John, Austin, Myles, Chloe, Daniel, and Tracy are all fantastic. Sometimes the brew crew comes out to finish their day with a drink and they're all amazing too! Whether you're there just to hang and enjoy a delightful brew or take part in one of their fun trivia nights, Fire Maker Brewing is the place to be. I moved to Atlanta in spring of 2020 and Fire Maker is one of the spots that has really made me able to call this city home. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I LOVE THEIR PEOPLE. I...
Read moreThis place has so many different areas where you can hang out and they even have two different bars. We really appreciated the fact that you can sample most things and that they have different size options. The prices are great too! We were able to affordably enjoy a few different drinks each. I really hope they keep their prices because that will definitely keep us coming back. For instance, they made a simple but delicious cocktail for us for $8.50, while the brewery down the street charges $13+ for the same thing.
They also have so many extra little things that are such a fun bonus like build your own seltzer, build your own cocktail, spin the wheel for a prize, and find the dragon for a free drink. It’s a fun place to be. We took a bag of board games and stayed for a few hours, but they also have some board games there. So glad to have...
