    Thrilla in Manilla
    Natalie A.

    A nice quiet tucked away brewery not far from Buford highway. Ordered the thrilla in Manila at 5:45pm on a Thursday while waiting for my husband to meet me for dinner. I was the only person in the brewery and got to enjoy a couple samples of their beers, chat with the bartender and listen to the good music (indie rock). They have a couple lagers, a DIPA and some spurs and seltzers (they call them sparkles) to choose from. There's some cool art murals to look at too. Worth a stop before or after Buford!

    low key vibes with parking and an outdoor space! My husband and I went on a Monday night about an hour before close and noticed they had some corn hole stuff as well. We had their sour and an IPA and was pleasantly surprised, both were good! They also sell some merchandise, including disc golf gear which I thought was rly cool. Definitely would come back, support local!

    I went to Contrast on Saturday, 5/27/23. It was a beautiful and sunny day and we sat outside. Plenty of outside seating, which is super cute with picnic tables and string lights in the trees. I got the Thrilla in Manila Sour and it was AMAZING. Probably the best sour I've ever had. 100% recommend!

    I've been meaning to check out the closest brewery to me sooner, but it wasn't until Coffeeman Cold Brew had a pop up at Contrast that I finally made an effort to stop by. And god knows why I waited so long, because the beers are super unique, and honestly hard to find outside of the brewery. During COVID, they were serving beers in ugly plastic SOLO cups, which was understandable, but forgive me for the ugly photos... my friend ended up buying a glass JUST so we could take some better pics (he bought a glass and a beer in a plastic SOLO cup, which he poured into the glass himself...). The things foodies do for good food pics... I'm not a sour beer drinker but really enjoyed the Paradise Melange V3. The DDH Fresh Eyes IPA was also a pretty easy drinking and juicy IPA to sip on while people watching. Can't wait to stop back in to try some more complex and exclusive beers... and hopefully in their gorgeous glassware next time and inside... hidden from the scorching heat of the sun!

    Great brewery in downtown Chamblee. There aren't many breweries in this area but this one has it all. Great selection of beers, foodtrucks and good music. Its a real good spot to sit and vibe with friends. At first glance, there doesn't appear to be a lot of parking but there are plenty of parking spaces in neighboring businesses and they aren't strict about parking. I highly recommend, even if you aren't a big beer drinker.

    So that's the cool little spot. You have some indoor and a lot of outdoor area to sitting. They have a little park bench area, kind of on a hill so you may want to be careful. And it's in the middle of a forest but the point is there is room. They got a couple games there like cornhole but most importantly they have beer. They make their own, they brew in the back, they only have a certain amount but what they have is pretty decent. It's real low key and it's around the corner so if you don't know you're going, You would definitely not even notice it's there. They have a sign that says brewery pointing to the back of the building so that's the only indicator lol. If you go in there though, the people there will talk to you and give you the ups and downs of each type of beer they have, whatever they have on tap, and they're super informative. I've been a few times and I haven't been disappointed.

    Bourbon barrel aged biggie stout - 2 thumbs up
    Helen K.

    On top of being a food lover, I've began to appreciate beer after our trip to Munich and Prague. Welp, just my luck. Added a new item to my gluttony. Contrast Artisan is small brewery but with bold flavors of beer to satisfy all of your cravings. My goto beer is a dark beer and I must say, the Bourbon barrel aged biggie stout is a doozie. It has rich bourbon flavor and just enough sweetness! Means a lot, coming from someone that doesn't even like bourbon. Today I was craving something light and I was in paradise with Paradise melange sour. Despite its name, not much of sourness, which i liked. Overall, it was refreshing, light, and felt tropical as if I was drinking mango juice that I think I unconsciously head tilted all the way back to get to the last drop. Point is, Contrast brewery has an option for you to satisfy your mood of beer. I've recently started my visit here, but I do see that they change out their beer options time to time. Contrast is a quaint brewery(maybe fit around 30 inside and out) that has friendly staff, simple choice of options(not much of food menu but liking the simplicity), and is dog friendly(extra kudos for this). Oh and they let you try a sample, so you can check out the good before actually ordering a drink. Very chill place to come and enjoy a nice wine glass of beer and a great add to Chamblee!

    Excellent beer, great vibe, wonderful service and atmosphere. Great for cornhole, and super close to the rest of downtown!

    Doesn't list on their site what has lactose and doesn't respond to your email asking about it. Why would anyone bother to visit?
