Decent place close to the Yonah Preseve MTB Trails. (This use to be Tantrum Brewery.) Vibe was cool and beer selection was pretty robust. The hazy IPA's were decent. Had the snow Ghost and Crocs and Socks. But pretty decent. The winner of the day was the food truck. Drastic Aztec made some dreamy birria tacos and birria nachos. I'd go back just for the food truck. But the beer was pretty decent as well. read more

This spot is located near Cleveland and their parents branch is I think in Cummings Ga. The beer selection is amazing and they brew everything from lagers to stouts to sour. I had thr oat stout and it was fantastic. The seating is abundant and you can get great views of yonah mountain from both inside and outside. They have food trucks all weekends and this a perfect spot after a grueling N GA mountain hike. read more

This was our first trip since the change to NoFo at this location. It was still the super cool location with, in our opinion better beer since it is NoFo! We got there early so got a great seat. Good cold beer with great service. I started with a flight. Then ended up with a couple of the Hefes. The food truck that showed up was great. The band was setting up when we left. Overall a great place to hang out and have some good beer! read more

First off, I was very impressed by the cleanliness and upscale look of this brewery. Even though they tailor to the post hiking crowd it isn't dingy at all. Great selection of beers and seltzers. We brought our own food and enjoyed a brew on the patio with the pup. It was perfect with the views of Yonah Mt. Even though we brought our own food they do have food trucks on specific days but it's nice to bring your own grub too. Will be back with friends when they come to visit! Thanks NoFo read more

Absolutely top notch service with staff that knows about the beer they are serving. The Cleveland locations has a full calendar of events with practically something going on every day so check out the webpage. The beers to me were average as nothing really struck me as uniquely impressive. They do have a selection of beers to accommodate almost everyone offering lagers, wheats, ales, sours and so on - my favorite was the Snow Ghost a pretty good hazy IPA. read more

Excitement is an understatement when discussing the continued evolution of American micro brew culture. It is loaded with experimentation, authenticity and small business owners who deliver great pleasure to their neighborhoods. For those curious wonderers, NoFo stands for North Forsyth where the first brewery was established. This location is quite new and has a spectacular selection. The wheat ale is phenomenal and Dunkel is amazing. Arguably the best part is the beautiful furnishings inside and the spectacular outdoor area in the nature. Few experiences can rival slowly sipping a pint while looking at a green field and trees. Folks here are pleasant and the taco truck food is amazing, from the queso to the fried chicken taco. Being right at the exit from Yonah mountain trailhead, one simply can't ask for a more effective way to re-compensate the carbs after climbing a mountain. Cheers! read more

First time here glad to be able to find a red lager. Beer is good and priced well. 16 brews on tap all the time. Very clean and dog/child friendly inside and out. They have bought out another owner and took over the business. You would expect bigger TV's to watch football game but apparently football is not a big thing in this bar. My server Sarah was outstanding example paining the difference in the beers and sizes they serve. read more

There's the bar, a few high top tables, and a nice long picnic table for communal drinking. There are plenty of tables outside. The beer flight I had didn't really have anything that was exceptional. I was told some Germans thought their version of an Oktoberfest was good, but not in my opinion (although I am not German, I do drink a lot of German beer). The Mom-in-Law really liked the Irish red ale (which the beertender admitted was more of a scotch ale). The Lanier Lager and the stout were probably the best of the bunch. I think the beer is still good enough to come hang out and check out Fergus and Hamish, the cows.

My wife was also pleased with her chicken biscuit and cheese grits. The grits were a little different for me, very creamy and a bit sweet, added some salt and butter and they were wonderful. Very good grits. Now to the highlight and I say it because my household keeps talking about it, the grits fritters were so very good. Everybody loved them and we debated on who got the remaining 2 because there were 3 of us and an order had 5. :) Can't wait to get back to this place to try some other options.

First, it has probably the best selection of beers on tap in the city. Second, they have lots of TVs that were all tuned into various games of college football.

Now, it's not a particularly big spot, which adds to the charm in my opinion. And they don't have their own bathroom. You have to walk a bit. But none of these are even remotely deal breakers.
