Hive

Top choice in Georgia


With 78 taps topped by funky, totem-pole-evoking ceramic handles fired by Tire City Potters across the street, Augusta's hophead stomping ground keeps things stylish, local and craft-dedicated. Current selections are scrolled painfully slowly on the gastropub's electronic board – you're better off with one of its tablets or consulting its real-time list online at www.hiveaugusta.com/tap-list.

In addition to nationwide craft suds, there's wine, mead, kombucha and sodas on tap.
