This is my go to place for craft beer. Great selection and customer service. Extremely knowledgeable about their products. I'm a big fan.

Great beer selection and also has sours. Fun relaxed atmosphere. Great service with knowledgeable beer-tenders.

Great spot fo craft beers. Tables to hang out at, a bar area, and shelving with a good selection of beer. I'm always greeted when I walk in. They're always up for giving recommendations if you ask. I've never actually hung out here, but there's plenty of people to chat with. Growlers, flights, single bottles... you name it. Plenty of local beers and they already bring in beers from other places, as well. read more

While we were in Macon evacuating Hurricane Irma, we spent some time visiting all of the local beer places. They have some breweries in the area, but we really enjoyed our multiple visits to Growler Spot. The place has a great selection of beers on tap, sell single bottles both warm and cold, and the staff is incredible. It felt like home. We visited a couple of times and really enjoyed the other locals, and a few other evacuees, that we met while sitting at the bar. If you are in Macon and are looking for a good place to enjoy a pint or a flight (their flights are priced right) then I highly recommend Grower Spot. The next time I am in Macon, I know I will be stopping by. Cheers! read more

Awesome spot to grab a growler, flights or individual beers that you can mix and match into personal 6 packs. Have "take overs" every once in a while with great deals. Participate in "spot on" app and GA Ale Trail so additional discounts are always available. The only other reviewer of the The Growler Spot gave it 3 stars and based on his other reviews he always reviews awesome local establishments like wherever he is. Places like Burger King and gives them poor reviews. Interesting use of an app meant to aid people not familiar with an area of local establishments, not worldwide chains that everyone already knows about. read more

Great place to have a few beers with the locals without going downtown! Lots of options and nice friendly staff and crowd.

I really do love this place. It feels like family. The people working there know what I like and make great suggestions. I always try to get my fiends to go when they come from out of town. High recommend it. read more

Maybe my next visit will be an upgrade. This was my first visit to this place and while they do have a lot of beer, I am going to have to question "fresh" beer as part of their labeling. The other reviewer gave it a five start rating but really didn't say why. Looking at his reviews, he gives almost everything a five star review and most of his reviews are similar establishments. Go figure. Maybe he has a quest to just travel around the country with the sole goal of visiting such establishments to rate them? Who knows? Everyone has a story to tell about their experience. He gives it such a great rating but we don't know what that experience was. Hmmmm, question time. Good location, this is an off license drinking establishment, meaning you buy it and take it home, other than tastings. Beer that is on tap can be put in glass bottles called growlers which are filled, sealed and labeled. They have a very large selection of on tap beers. I tried three. Hate to say it but two of the three were either old or the bottom of the keg as both were somewhat bitter, a sign of a beer past its prime. The third beer that was within its prime I didn't care for but was probably a quality beer. I just didn't like it. The pricing is somewhat confusing. The "menu" of beers when I visited was printed on a printer that was fairly out of ink but I guess that was to match the pale ales. Wouldn't have hurt to put the price per beer on that list, but they didn't. The one guy who was working didn't know that a mild ale and that a brown ale are basically the same thing, that is in the modern usage. One is served on tap and the other comes in a bottle. The Russian Imperial Stout was good but it was past its prime within the keg. I assume Americans don't drink or like dark beers as much and this one beer had set too long. Some of the brown or mild ales were nearing their sell-by dates or past it. What happens is many people don't know what the beer is supposed to taste like and then when it has that rank taste which is somewhat stale and could add bitterness, they think that's how it's supposed to taste. Many people can't name the type of hops used and that's to be expected for those not in the business or a beer maker, but there is a difference between hop bitterness and end of keg bitterness. The growler bottle I thought was very reasonably priced, the beer put in it I thought was not. The staff was somewhat friendly and a bit knowledgeable. The main problem I had with the guy working the place was that I'm sitting at their little bar facing forward and he's standing, way, way to the side and I have to break my neck to speak to him or make eye contact. I understand the concept of let the customer see the view of the beer taps but to stand so far to the side is either not wanting to serve, work or just poor training on how to treat customers. If I want to look at the beer, I have to sit forward. If I want to ask about them, I have to totally move 90 degrees to where he's standing. They do have little glasses that give you samples of the beers. I tried three. I hated to try anymore and run down their stock but I have a feeling the kegs are mainly way past their prime due to the above of the employee trying to make employees break their necks to talk with him about the beer, the fact that the menu is hard to read because it's so faint or maybe it's the price. Could do a better job of displaying the prices. Maybe they learned their business practices from Walmart? The jar/bottle was six bucks for the larger size, 64 oz. The beers are priced differently but to fill that new bottle with the beer I chose was almost $28 bucks! Granted, if I go back with the bottle, it'll be about six bucks cheaper. But, hey, that's $20 bucks for five beers. That's without a tip. If I go to a restaurant, a cafe, maybe get a haircut, I expect there may be a tip. Why is there a tip in this? All he does is his job of telling what the beer it, give you a sample and then fill the bottle. I did give him a tip but I don't think I will on the next visit. Why? He gave mediocre service, stood so far to the side and far away that I had to do a 90 degree plus turn to speak with him, had a girl working there who was unable to do anything but show off her tight jeans because she was under 21. I will visit this place again and would like to give it a four or five stars. But, if it's the same old kegs that's been there since this place opened, I'm not spending $20+ for a beer that is stale, old, rank, undrinkable. I hope to be able to prove myself wrong but I fear I won't be able to and that the next visit will be the same stale batch of beer due to the slow process of selling and frankly, bad beer, not tot mention the stand away approach. The next visit will tell whether that pricey bottle I bought will continue to be used for beer or for cleaning supplies. read more

We have been going to this place since it opened. They always have a great selection of bottled and draft craft beer, and if they don't have something that you're looking for they can try to order it for you. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about beer. read more

This place is so cool! Great atmosphere, fantastic service. I loved almost everything I tasted and enjoyed hanging out with the employee that was helping me (Garrett). I really appreciated the service I received. Very fun, welcoming, and relaxing store. Would DEFINITELY recommend this spot to friends. Will also return. read more

Awesome selection and very knowledgeable help!!! Great selection to but too!! A must place to check out if you love beer and smiles!!

This place is amazing. A++ Service. I didn't buy any growlers because i was going to a pool party and you can't have glass there but the service was outstanding. The Bar man couldn't provide me with anything in plastic or aluminum so he actually walked me a few stores down to show me some nice local beers another store had. I was very impressed with the one he selected for me. If I'm ever back in Macon GA i will definitely be stopping here again. I may even go out of my way! read more

I went here the other day and loved it! I was served by a young man and I haven't had that good service in a long time. He was very attentive, friendly and fast! read more
