Meander Brewing Company sits in Buford, Georgia, and it does something most breweries would shy away from: it embraces sour beer with the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy shop. The lineup reads like a masterclass in tartness, each pint delivering a tang that feels intentional rather than an after‑thought. It’s the kind of boldness that makes you question why anyone would ever settle for a boring lager.
The bar itself is a spacious playground for adults who appreciate good company and good beer. There’s ample room to move about, and a surprising array of parking spots ensures you won’t spend the evening circling for a space. Meander has struck a clever partnership with the local food stall Italian Pie, so you can chase those sour sips with a slice that actually complements the acidity. Behind the scenes the brewery has poured money into top‑tier equipment, a move that guarantees consistency and showcases a genuine commitment to craftsmanship. (If you enjoy a brew that’s both daring and well‑executed, Meander is worth the trip.)
Meander Brewing Company is praised for its diverse range of beers, including sour options and a variety of IPAs, with some reviewers particularly enjoying the kölsch and cream ale styles. The brewery's welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and dog-friendly space are also highlights.
