Red Hare Brewing Company

Georgia beer laws are nuts. So, for $ 14 I got a tour that included a pint glass and six half-​pint pours. You can’t buy beer by itself at a brewery in Georgia so you have to do it this way to get the beer. Staff was really friendly and gave a quick tour (although technically you could pay, skip the tour, and drink). They had eight choices available the night we went with many different styles. I deducted a star because I wasn’t overly impressed with the beers. Many seemed a little on the plain side. Great indoor/​outdoor space though and looks to be a fun place to go with a group and have a couple of beers. Add in the friendly staff and this place is worth a visit.

Georgia alcohol laws are totally foreign to me, so my experience at Red Hare was definitely interesting. For $ 12 – 14, you get a souvenir pint glass that entitles you to 6 tastings. Each tasting is officially 6 oz, meaning you officially get 2.25 pints. Not a bad value.
In reality, the bartenders usually fill your glass about ¾ of the way, so you end up with what amounts to 4 or 5 pints. And considering they are only open for 2 hours during the week (when I went), you could get pretty lit if you try to sample all 6.
The beers were good, although nothing really stood out to me. But the friendly staff, laid back environment, «free» tour, and «free» snacks all add up to a fun time before heading out elsewhere.

I’ve been wanting to try this place out for some time now. Had an opportunity last night with some of my work buds to make it over.
I have heard other people complain that the line was pretty long. But $ 12 for 6 beers, a free glass, and live music I would hope there would be! When we got there just after 5:30 and the line was fairly long. But, they have a giant connect 4 game in the middle of the line to play and mingle with others waiting to pay. took maybe 15 mins and met some cool people. Not a big deal in my eyes.
The band they had playing last night put on a really good show and the whole experience was on point. We spent most of our time outside playing cornhole and other tailgate games.
They also let you bring your dog which is pretty cool too.

Best brewery in GA!!! Great tasting beer and great tasting room allowing you to sample the beers. Live entertainment most of the time and sometimes food trucks in the parking lot. You can tour the brewery and walk along the huge tanks and canning line.

The beer is good, but don’t visit the brewery. They treat customers poorly. I waited 40 minutes in sub-​freezing temperatures because they only had 1 credit card machine. Also, they had heaters but did not make them available to people waiting in line. I will never visit again.

Love this place and their beer. Free snacks in the tasting room which is a first for me and awesome once you’ve had a few tasty brews. Only downside is the space is pretty small especially with all the people that are in here. Will be coming back.

I have not visited the brewery but I wish to do so. I have tried the Longday lager and I loved it. I will, next time in Marietta, visit to taste it fresh.

This was our second attempt to get here and experience the brewery and they had a private event that was not publicized so we were unable to enter. At least have the courtesy to let potential customers know so that they do not make their way through the god awful atlanta traffic only to be turned away. I have never had this problem at other local breweries. The location is small and has no parking and that’s with a private event forget about it on a regular day. Sweetwater for life. And then Monday Night. And then red brick. And then any where else…

Red hare is my favorite brewery in Atlanta. It seems every other brewery is set on ipa for every drink, but red hare mixes it up. Outside of the alcoholic brews, they have a root beer — it’s mad good. The tour is cool and informational, the people all seem chill and they have free snacks. My only complaint is it’s loud — this is a place I go with groups and it’s hard to talk unless you’re right beside the person.

I’m going to go ahead and say it. Best. Brewery. In. Atlanta. This brewery is my absolute favorite brewery to visit. The beer is awesome. The employees are super chill. It’s a great value. You get generous pours and there’s plenty of a/​c and seating. It’s dog friendly and there’s always live entertainment. This is just a great local brewery. Always a great crowd and great experience. I love the souvenir glasses and they’ve got some stellar options for beer. One visit I was lucky enough to get to try the s’mores beer with cookies and cream. It was fabulous. If you are looking for a fun brewery then look no further. Hands down better than sweet water and Monday night. Plenty of parking and space.

It seems like Atlanta is in the middle of a booming period of beer with breweries popping up left and right. Most of the breweries so far have it got right, but some have fallen short. Sadly, I find that Red Hare has fallen quite short.
Red Hare Brewing is a brewery that is located in a light industrial area in the southern part of Marietta. It’s a little difficult to get to from Atlanta, as you are left with Über or Lyft to get you there and back safely, and this can get expensive with how far it is from the city. Now, this isn’t necessarily a problem because from what I’ve observed the three or four times I’ve been here is that almost everyone here is from Cobb County anyway. And that is where I get a little culture shocked. Most of the breweries in Atlanta are filled with younger people who have beards or eclectic clothing, are coming in after work, or are middle aged adults just looking to mingle. There’s a great mix, and that’s what I love so much about the breweries in the Atlanta area. Red Hare draws in a conservative, largely middle aged, Caucasian crowd. Now, this is certainly not a bad thing at all, it’s just got a very different vibe that I’m not used to. If this is your crowd, though, you’d totally dig it here.
But…the beer. The «craft beer» here is not very crafty. Every beer I’ve tried tastes like someone has been brewing it in their personal garage as a hobby. Even when they have special events, their special beers just don’t taste like what they say it does. Maybe it’s because I’ve been spoiled by the crazy beers I’ve tasted in my life, but I believe craft beers should take a risk in their taste profiles because that’s what sets them apart from the run of the mill, big company beers you find at college parties and in your dad’s basement fridge. Thus, if you’re looking for a «craft beer» experience that doesn’t push it over the edge, then maybe this place is for you.
Finally, I’m still not very fond of their brewery space, despite their recent upgrades. Their place is very small, and not very well ventilated. Last summer, some friends and I went to an event there on a particularly hot day, and wow. I have never sweated more in my life. They often have live music from local bands, which is a nice touch if you’re into that sort of thing. Outside, they have corn hole and a ring game, but it’s hard to play with how crowded it gets.
Overall, this is not a great brewery when compared to the other options we have here. But, like I said, if you dig a more conservative feel in your brews, then head out here.

This place has really grown. This was my second visit here and I love how they’ve added more areas to mingle and more artwork to look at. They had 1 bartender but when the line grew, they added a second. Well organized!
For $ 10 you get 6 tastes which is a pint glass filled ¾ full. Perfect place to pre-​game before your next stop. Great for hanging with friends and meeting new ones.
My only complaint is they no longer do the tks and now to wristbands. Lame! Everyone else does the tks, it’s a tradition!
They also need to give clear instructions for parking. They offer very little onsite and you don’t know if it’s safe to park at the businesses nearby.

What a fun place to hang out with your friends. 10 bucks to get a nice glass and six beer tickets.

This brewery has a great local feel to it and a good beer selection. When you come for the tour it’s $ 10 for 6 generous samples and a pint glass. There’s a patio area that’s dog friendly, has games, and live music. One piece of advice would be to bring a chair if you’re planning on sitting outside. There isn’t a lot of seating inside or outside

The beer here is pretty darn good! 6 tickets for $ 10 and pint glass! They have the typical two hour window. The place is currently under renovations (but still open).
Be careful! If they give you a normal pour and you don’t «like» it, they will say they «have» to take another ticket.

I visited Red Hare recently, but was not terribly impressed. I happened to be there on a very busy night, greeted by a huge line of people waiting to get it, and it was hard to hear yourself think inside! They’re in the middle of some construction, so the floor and walls of the building are mostly bare. The women’s restroom was a little weird, with two stalls and no stall doors.
The beers were okay, but nothing to write home about. I had tried the Long Day Lager and Gangway IPA beforehand, so I skipped those and went for the more unique beers. Everything more or less tasted like something I’d had before.
The brewmaster/​beer geek who conducted the tour was very funny and knowledgeable, and I hate that our tour was abbreviated due to the mass quantity of people at the brewery. The brewery tour is the typical «pint glass and six tasting tickets» deal. If you have a Peach State Ale Trail card, you can get $ 2 off the $ 10 price tag anytime!
Outside there are a couple lawn games, and plenty of good places to stand around (if you could find a place to stand) and enjoy your beer. A few people had their dogs with them, and there was a designated «pet walk» area.

I visited the Red Hare Brewing Company for a tour and tasting. This place is awesome, the staff is very friendly, and the beer is excellent. It is very cool seeing the process from start to finish. I support like to support local breweries and Red Hare is one of my favorites.

I must say that we were really digging this place until the woman in the front that checks in their guest gave us such a bitchy attitude that it pretty much ruined the whole experience for us.
$ 10 for a free glass and six drink tickets, and FREE for a small plastic cup with four tickets but their people in the front dont really treat you too well if you go for the free cup … and lemme tell you what happened …
We came here during their 3^rd year anniversary and the place was packed. Mind you, this was our second time visiting the place.
We came in towards the end of the event and when we came to the front, the pregnant woman immediately said «$ 15» — we then told her we didn’t want the glass and would just like the free pass. Well you know what that witch did? SHE THREW THE TICKETS AT US. She just threw it at us in such a rude, nasty attitude and turned her back and walked away. My husband and I were IN AWE at this nastiness that we just looked at each other. Given that there were far too many people than that place can clearly handle and everyone was sweating like pigs inside, I can understand some frustration with their staff but what she did was just unacceptable. It took us a moment to brush off her rudeness and tried to have fun, but after about 45 minutes fighting in line to get a drink, we gave up and left with a very awful memory of this place. We really enjoyed their beers and have seen their beer in stores, but we refuse to buy it.
Too bad, hubby and I used to brag about this place, but I guess that’s that. I cannot wait to try other breweries around here where I am sure they will not treat people like us so crudely … I mean, if they have sore feelings over «free» beer tickets, then why not just remove it?

I’m not really a beer person, but I do enjoy coming out to Red Hare to spend some time socializing with friends. Believe it or not, you can have a good time here without drinking any of the beer.
If you happen to like beer, you’re in luck. For $ 10 you get a pint glass and six tickets to sample their beer. Note: you don’t actually have to buy a pint glass to sample their beer. You can get one of their white plastic cups and they will still pour you some beer. You can also use the plastic cup to grab some water as well. They always have a cooler of water at the end of the bar. Add some ice to the water cooler, please! They also have root beer if that happens to float your boat. I’m really weird and am not a fan of root beer either.
They usually have music playing either inside or outside during the hours of their brewery tours and tastings. I prefer to stay outside when the weather allows because the music is way too loud inside the building to have a conversation. The patio outside has a few tables (more tables, please!) as well as a bocce ball court and cornhole. Drinking people seem to really enjoy cornhole.
Their parking lot is on the small side, but there’s plenty of parking in the lots of surrounding businesses.

I had the wonderful opportunity to check out Red Hare a few Saturdays ago for a special Unilocalers preview of Red Hare’s newest brew, the Cotton Tail Pale Ale (say that five times fast!). Typical entrance fee is $ 10 ( Unilocalers received a $ 2 discount before 2 PM) — which includes a tasting glass (yours to keep) and six drink tickets (for which they fill the glass to slightly over halfway), which is more than enough to get you hydrated if you catch my drift.
Overall, I quite enjoyed the brews, particularly the new ‘Cotton Tail’ and their thrice hopped brew (the only one on the menu to cost two tickets). The staff is quite knowledgeable about their product — as they should be — and seem to be genuinely interested in helping patrons find the perfect taste for them. I love that they also offer their own concoction of root beer (non-​alcoholic) as an alternative for those who aren’t maybe the biggest fans of beer or for the DDs — plus it looks exactly like one of the other brews in the glass so I could still pretend I was one of the cool kids!
Another aspect that I love is that dogs are welcome, both on the patio and in the bar area — and people definitely took advantage. Also on the patio is live music from local bands, a few games, and even the Yumbii food truck — good thinking Red Hare! When the brewery tour is about the begin, an employee makes a lap around with a large sign announcing the tour, as it gets pretty loud inside. Despite Red Hare looking quite small on the outside, the brewery is large. At first arrival, I was concerned about parking — there’s only about eight spaces in their actual parking lot, but free parking is available at the surrounding businesses/​offices. Red Hare is definitely worth a visit; It’s a fun, cheap way to spend the weekend with friends.

1^st time and it was a beer tasting and I started out with the lite and worked my way down to the darker lagers but this is a fun place to hangout and the sun came out and people went out on the terrace and there were games and a band called The Acorns played along with the Yumbii food truck and a Atlanta Hawks truck with basketball hoop and cheerleaders. Now this is not all the time but we all enjoyed ourselves and the staff was pleasant and gives you plenty of info about their products. Will be back when ever i’m in the Marietta area again.

I usually never drink beer but I must say I really enjoyed Red Hare! It’s a small place in Marietta with many beer choices. This was actually a Unilocal event as well! The crew was there taking photos on Santa’s lap!
For $ 10 you get a Pint glass to take home with 6 drink tickets! Doesn’t get much better than that! I went on the brewery tour, which I heard mixed reviews about but wanted to check it out for myself. I liked it a lot and learned a lot!
Definitely enjoyed coming here and definitely recommend it!

I really enjoy this place, for a lot of reasons. In the back of my head, I’m worried too many people will find out about this little gem and it will be forced to leave Marietta — please don’t go! Stay, please!
I just returned from one of their Saturday afternoon tastings (and I was the driver today, so you can trust my review — just sample glasses for me today!) First, the beer is great, and I’m not even really a beer person. My favorites are the Chocolate Porter (mmm, so yummy!) and the Watership Brown, and today they even had real root beer! I dislike IPAs but my IPA-​downing friends really enjoy the Gangway IPA. So yeah, the beer is solid.
The second reason we have 9 Red Hare beer glasses in our cupboard is because of the atmosphere. For $ 10 you get a beer glass that they fill six times. You take your glass of goodness and find a comfortable spot in the brewery to wait for a tour, or stroll on out to the patio where you can play some corn hole, bocce, or listen to the live music playing (which honestly is pretty good. Today they had two guys, one that sounded like Bob Dylan and the other sounded like Jon Bön Jovi. I realize this implies cacophony but it somehow worked really well.) The crowd is laid back, friendly, and similarly wanting to just hang out for a few pleasant hours in the sun with a good beer.
There are other reasons I really like place. They host a lot of volunteer events and give part of the proceeds to the charity, and the owner is pleasant but always working his butt off. This afternoon, I saw him cleaning up spilled beer AND behind the bar serving, and yet he was still pleasant enough to give a nice smile and say hello when he walked past. I come partly just to support his work ethic.
The other fun thing is that there seem to be an inordinate amount of red-​haired people present. Something about the brewery name, perhaps, that encourages the comradery? :)
I have no doubt I’ll be back. Cheers!
