and my friend's brewery, gets a couple of mentions in the article
billy beer or nothing for us
Why bother with local brews? I thought everyone in Georgia wanted to drink Coors.
not just a timeless classic but arguably responsible for the craft beer craze of today. Billy's love for homebrewing caused Jimmy to relax laws that began a homebrew movement which lead to craft brewing.
I have a game I like to play when I'm up there. It's called "how much Spotted Cow can Dub drink in a week."
I kept an unopened six pack (NOT for the taste) for a long time, but several years later it got dropped during a household move. Kept the empty cans, for nostalgia.
i got turned onto them when i first moved to atlanta. they have been around for a really long time and have always had a great beer list and great wings.
I'll agree on Great Beer list but I find the food to be awful. Wings are the best bet but not close to the best wings in Atlanta
yeah, i am basing my wings thoughts on many years ago and it was relative to what i could find in atlanta back in the 90's early 2000's, i haven't been to a taco mac in forever. i have a hard time finding good buffalo wings, but i have an expectation that i will get something on par from wings and things on the strip. for a long time, we had a good wing trailer in east point that had passable buffalo hot wings, but the lot they parked in got bought up to put in yet another family dollar. a lot of great smoked wings options and tons of what i am told are great lemon pepper wings down on the southside, but i don't really like lemon pepper.
Max's pizza right by the aquarium has the best Lemon Pepper wings I've ever had. Jr Crickets can be good but hit or miss. 3 Dollar cafe is still the most consistently good in Atl but it has been a long time since I've had them. For something unique and a bit healthier R Thomas has baked wings that are amazing. Lemon Pepper is an Atlanta thing now since JR Crickets Lemon Pepper Wet was featured on the show Atlanta (which you and everyone else should be watching, fantastic especially for people like you and I who've lived in Atl a long time)
we have been watching atlanta, it's a pretty good show. we are 2-3 episodes in so far. i've been getting my wings at pit boss in hapeville for the past year or so, they were #4 on creative loafing's best atlanta wings list. they are smoked and you can get hot or mild bbq, teriaki or lemon pepper. they are the bomb.
last year I think. His daughter runs the place now. My daughter and I were in the area as she had to do an assignment at the High Museum for school. R Thomas is still as good and weird as it ever was and the Birds seem to be doing well too since his passing. His daughter is said to be dead set on keeping the place in tact. My daughter had never been but wants me to take her back soon
