Abide Brewing Company ~ Newnan, Georgia
The Abide Brewing Company in Newnan, Georgia is the very definition of the word small. In fact, Abide is the smallest Nano Brewery in Georgia and opens only a few days a month for tours and sampling.

Their year ’round offerings are all ales with ABVs ranging from 5.2% to 6%, including the Local Pale Ale, Coweta Common Ale, Brown’s Mill Brown Ale, and Asian Persuasion Ale. Several rotating seasonal beers of various varieties are available periodically.
Buzz Talk – Montford Misfits ~ Charlotte, NC
The late Andy Warhol once commented “Don’t think about making art, just get it done.” In Charlotte, North Carolina, Brian Egger and his partners at Montford Misfits are doing just that. They’re making art and it’s popularity has expanded so much you see their creations in restaurants, bars, breweries, and bottle shops all over the state and beyond.
You may not have heard of Brian or Montford Misfits, but if you’re a patron of craft beer establishments, you’ve likely seen (and even commented on) their custom beer maps that adorn walls and entryways everywhere.
Buzz Talk: The Three Spirits Brewery ~ Charlotte, NC
With a wide array of comfort beers always on tap, as well as very little emphasis on the overly popular IPA’s that are readily available everywhere, the Three Spirits Brewery, located at 5046 Old Pineville Road in Charlotte, North Carolina is unique in a region teeming with exceptional breweries. But, it’s not just the beer that makes Three Spirits such a draw; it’s the story of the people behind the brews that ranks this brewery among our favorites.
