Scofflaw Brewing Co

Top choice in Atlanta

LoginSave

Named after the hard-to-pronounce word for those who said, 'F-you!' to Prohibition laws and continued drinking anyway, Scofflaw Brewing Co's 30-tap brewery is producing Atlanta's most experimental IPAs and stouts – brewmaster Matt Shirah came up at California's Lost Abbey and Russian River Brewing, the latter famous for its world-sought-after triple IPA, Pliny the Younger. Motto? 'No Bullshit. Just Beer.'

The large, open-space brewery is rife with picnic tables and there's a festive outdoor fairy-lit patio that welcomes rotating food trucks on Saturdays.
