Well, I never met a beer I didn't drink. And down it goes". - Norm Peterson, Cheers…read more I'm not a beer snob. I'm as ok with a tall boy PBR as I am with a craft IPA. With that being said, when I do check out a new brewery, I am a bit more critical. RockSolid Brewing is indeed rock solid when it comes to its beers. While there were no real standouts, they were all easy to drink and enjoyable. The Linger Longer Lager was crisp and clean, but lacked some depth. The Beez Knees was a very easy to drink blond ale. Phenomena was a very decent IPA. My favorite beer of this visit was the Summer of The Cicada shandy, a tasty wheat beer and lemonade brew. The brewery is big and fairly spartan and could benefit from a makeover. Service was great and super friendly. Great place to hang out if your hanging out in Ball Ground.

We stayed here to enjoy dinner and a couple of cold ones.

We ordered food at Ball Ground Burger Bus although there are other options and you can certainly bring your own food too. It's totally ok to eat here just don't make a mess. Nicole and I both tried the Bohemian Hazy which looked great but for me could have been a tad more hoppy (perhaps dry hop the recipe a little more?). We enjoyed the local art on the walls and all the activities that this Brewery sets up for locals on nearly each day of the week. I love that it attracts runner with a Humpday 5k! Now that is awesome! Had a nice time here.

After visiting the nearby Gibbs Gardens, I decided to check out downtown Ball Ground--a charming…read morelittle town I somehow never knew existed, despite living in Georgia for over a decade. While exploring the main strip, I came across Dot's Fine Wine and Craft. I was hoping they offered wine flights (they do, but only on Thursdays), so instead, I opted for a tasting. They have four wines on tap that rotate regularly--usually two whites and two reds, if I recall correctly. The ones available that day weren't quite my personal taste, but the experience was still great thanks to the welcoming staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The shop itself has a laid-back, cozy vibe with plenty of space to sip and explore. Their selection of wines and specialty beers is impressive--and for those just browsing, there's no pressure, just good conversation and even better recommendations. Now, let me give credit where it's due--Todd, the owner, is a force of nature. My fiancée is very particular about her wine, but once Todd started talking, she was sold. He makes the rounds, connecting with every guest, and his deep knowledge and passion for wine is infectious. Between him, his wife, and lone employee who was shaking and moving the entire time we were there, they've created an experience that's polished, personal, and memorable. If I had to make one suggestion, it would be to add another wine slushie machine. Every time I went for one, it was still chilling--though in their defense, the place was buzzing with activity due to a downtown festival. Dot's isn't just a wine store--it's a destination. They also offer: Thirsty Thursday Wine Flights (4 for $15, waived with a $45 purchase) Monthly Wine Club Private Tastings & Cellar Consulting Wedding & Event Bar Services Wine and Beer Growlers Rotating Frozen Sangrias, Frosé & Wine-Based Cocktails Charcuterie, Wine Gifts & Accessories I've visited plenty of wine shops across the state, but Dot's truly stands out. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just curious, it's absolutely worth the trip. You'll likely leave with more than just a bottle--you'll leave with a great experience.

We wanted to try their pizza. So we did. It was very good. Nice crust and ample toppings. I wasn't sure it it was going to be enough so we ordered their sample appetizer. Great thing was it was Tuesday and 1/2 off appetizers. We chose cheese curds. Mozzarella sticks. Pretzels and potato skins. All were excellent! In reality it would have been a meal for both of us.

We all pre registered on line plus we arrived early to take advantage no lines or crowds. This is a shotgun and clay disk range, you can bring your own shot gun to use, they don't mind. We had a great time maneuvering through the site on our golf cart. Taking full advantage of all the great views and training. Our security trainer was very information on how to stand, hold the rifle and site the disk. We were a party of six with 10 rounds per section. Each section the disk came from different angles to be shot at. After a few hours we moved our party towards the restaurant. Where we sat on the outdoor patio taking in the view and watching others shoot. Our waitress was kind and very informative. She helped us make some desirable selections. We had the garland sunrise and a blueberry lemonade cocktails. The appetizers we had loaded tots( delicious), rock shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. All very filling! Moving on to entrees threes beer battered fish and chips, onion soup, shrimp and grits. Giant burgers and fries, chicken sandwich and onion rings, and pulled bbq platter. We were not disappointed with any of it. ( thank you chef). We ended our visit with photos on the lawn near the archway with the blue ridge in the background. Apologies to our waitress I didn't catch your name, we sure hope we were not too much
