Crooked Culture Brewing — Restaurant in Cumming

Crooked Culture has become my go-to spot since they opened in the City Center, and for good reason. Living just 6 miles down the road, I've made this place a regular part of my routine, and every visit feels like coming home. Trisha, Jonathan, Keith, and Patrick greet me by name every time I walk in - it's that kind of place where you're not just another customer, you're part of the family.

What sets them apart isn't just their amazing craft beers (though they're knocking it out of the park in that department). It's how they've built relationships with other local breweries, creating incredible collaborations that showcase the best of our local craft beer scene.

The location is truly the crown jewel of Cumming City Center. Whether you're relaxing in the indoor space with the garage doors thrown open, taking in the view from the upstairs patio overlooking the center, or enjoying the side patio across from Myth & Legend - there's always a perfect spot to soak in the atmosphere. Watching dogs play while sipping on a craft beer just hits different here.

As you drive into the City Center, Crooked Culture immediately catches your eye - it's become one of the most iconic spots in the area. You can't miss it from the street, and that first glimpse always draws people in. It's more than just a brewery; it's become a landmark.

Patrick and his family took a huge risk opening this place, and as a small business owner, that's no small feat. They've created something special here - a place that brings people together, serves exceptional beer, and adds real value to our community. Now it's our turn to support what they've built. Thank you, Crooked Culture, for showing up every day and making our community better, one craft...

A hidden gem that punches way above its weight—Crooked Culture Brewing is hands-down the best brewery in Georgia, and arguably one of the top-tier craft beer experiences in the country.

As someone who’s spent years in the fine dining world, from James Beard kitchens to Michelin-starred service, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for nuance, balance, and intentionality—and This One Slaps delivers all of it in liquid form.

This 10% ABV Triple New England IPA is unapologetically bold. On the nose, it hits you with a wave of sweet, wet hay—earthy yet inviting—a prelude to the tropical explosion that follows. Riwaka and experimental hop HBC 1019 shine here, creating layers of citrus, mango, and melon wrapped in a soft, creamy mouthfeel. There’s a touch of sweetness, but never cloying—just enough to elevate the hop character and make you pause after every sip.

The brewery itself is beautifully curated—thoughtful design, chill but elevated vibe, and creative events that keep the energy fresh without trying too hard. Out back, Dominic’s New York Pizza serves up the best wings I’ve ever tasted—no exaggeration. Perfectly crisp, seasoned to perfection, and paired with world-class beer, it’s a culinary one-two punch that’s rare to find.

All this, nestled inside the Cumming City Center, makes for a truly unforgettable experience. A harmonious partnership that showcases the best of what Georgia’s food and beverage scene...

Beer is good; however, wish they would improve the environment for those of us conversationalists who actually want to visit with each other while having a beer. Main room is extremely loud especially during game night and second room with couches is also an extremely loud echo chamber making conversation very difficult. Our group of 8 all agreed. Besides high noise level the sun was brutal in both rooms requiring sunglasses while facing the windows. Some type of noise absorption tiles, fabrics or rugs and shade is needed to help with these issues. Finally, when the hot sun went down around 8:30pm we could go outside to enjoy conversation at a table. The mango pineapple hard seltzer was the favorite among the ladies...
