Terrapin Beer Company

Amber and I decided to be brew bunnies today! Terrapin brew s as follows: Wake ‘n Bake Cinnamon Roll, Vapricot, Liquid Lunch (chocolate peanut butter Porter w/​Raspberry notes), Rye Pale Ale, Liquid Bliss, Walking Dead Blood Orange, Tiara Moo Hoo, Rye Cubed, too many beers not enough time!!!
I’ll take any «Wake ‘n Bake» on tap Oh My!

I came here for the tour and had a blast. The tour itself is a bit short (seemed like it lasted ten minutes tops… and half the tour was about Georgia’s beer laws). They were not making beer, so maybe that is why. From that perspective, it was a bit disappointing. The tour did only cost $ 12 and included six six-​ounce samples of beer. The bartenders were extremely friendly, as was the tour guide. All in all, I would say it was 100% worth the money. Maybe I need to come back for the tour when they are making beer.

I know the trendy thing in Athens right now is to go to Creature Comforts and claim it the best brewery in Athens and I think CC is great but after recently going to Terrapin for the first time in 4 years or so I have to say that it is the best brewery in the city. Remodeled interior, a more and varied selection of beers to choose from and a huge outdoor area that is dog friendly. You can’t go wrong with either brewery mentioned above but for me if I have to choose one to go to as of now, my choice is Terrapin.

Our friends hosted their rehearsal dinner here and it was fantastic. They imprinted their last name on all of the cups that we all took home. The beer was delicious and the servers were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely would recommend a visit here to anyone in Athens.

So PSA if it’s your birthday is within the week or weekend you get the gift of free entry and craft beer into this wonderful rustic heaven of craft beeeeeah! Yes folks this is liquid gold. I’ve tried multiple options; Liquid Bliss and Maggie’s Peach Farmhouse are my picks! A nice way to spend an hour or so on a Sunday afternoon! Being some food, sit back and enjoy craft beer and a little live music!

What a neat place to spend an afternoon! Went there on Saturday and they had live music, games outside, and, of course, beer. Because of odd liquor laws they can’t sell you beer but they can sell you a tour and gift you beer (in the form of a glass and generous sample pours). I like the rye pale ale and the golden ale best, but I’m not an IPA guy.
The suggestions I’d make to them would be to have more seating space in the back and more shade! On a summer day you’re basically cooking outside, or standing room only inside.

We’ve been going to terrapin for years and it really is a great place to hang out. Make sure you get there early because when UGA is in there is always a line. I’ve gotten spoiled this summer because the lines are short but now that the students are back it will be crazy crowded! If you’ve never been add it to your list!

I’m not a beer chic but this is my dad and brothers favorite tap. I do not recommend the blueberry nor the Wake-​n-​Bake but the family had a good time even in the July humidity. They need to insulate the tasting room, too loud but good people and dog watching.

At Terrapin, all your dreams come true. Live music every night, you are allowed to bring your pets (and even your kids if you have them) and get to drink some of the best IPA’s around.

Delicious. Hands down best brewery in GA. There are some experimental brews that you can’t get in stores, so that’s pretty exciting. Otherwise, getting the classics from the source is a fun experience.

I’ve visited Terrapin Brewery twice now. The place has been renovated since my last visit. No more porta-​potties, yay! The refurbished facility is quite pleasant, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. $ 10 for 8 beer samples (approximately 4 oz each) is a good deal. So far, I haven’t been able to make it through all eight samples.
Bring cash if you want to get through the line fast. I also suggest bringing beach chairs, blankets, and food — make it a picnic! That’s what my friends and I did. We sat underneath a shady tent and kicked back for a few hours listening to the live band. Lots of fun.

Did the tour and it was a good time. I got to see the brewing operations and caught a glimpse of the bottling and barreling operations too. I’m not one for IPAs too much (and that’s what Terrapin is good at) but they’re so good at it that I enjoyed everything I tried. Big lawn area in the back with crappy live music, picnic tables to sit at, and smoking pits for those who need to enhance their drinking experience.

This is a wonderful brewery in Athens, GA. Currently under construction but I have been pre-​construction and this is a very nice place! They have tons of delicious beer, great tours, and a great outdoor area. Bring your dogs! $ 10 for a cup with 8 pours to taste! And you can keep the glass! It doesn’t get any better than that!

I enjoy visiting Terrapin as often as I can while in Athens, Ga during the summer months. You can opt for the 10.00 glass or the 12.00 commemorative glass that allows you 8 samples which they mark on your wristband. Sometimes there will be three spots where you can get your beer samples. Liquid Bliss is my new favorite which is a chocolate peanut butter porter that smells Devine and taste fantastic. While we were sampling we had the pleasure to listened to Tre Powell an awesome performer who has you groovin to the music. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to visit again. The only thing I would like to see is maybe doing a free post card station at the brewery like New Belgium does in Colorado and expand the merchandise to even more items that’s really about it.

$ 10 for 8 samples. EIGHT SAMPLES. Hell of a value. The selection was pretty scarce considering the amazing beers Terrapin has to offer, but there were still around 6 choices.
Show up early– like 5pm. We got there at 5:30 and the line was already wrapped around the building. if you bring cash you get to walk through a separate line that goes much more quickly. If you only have a card they do let you get cash back so you can tip the bartenders, which is pretty sweet.
The outdoor area is amazing. It’s huge and there’s a stage with live music. There’s also a food truck, corn hole, and disc golf. This is probably my favorite brewery I’ve been to so far. The only reason I am docking it 1 star is because of the tremendous lines and the lack of bathrooms (port-​o-​potty only). It’s definitely worth a visit– bring your dog and show up early!

«Good morning, inn keeper. Two beers for two weary travelers!» — Django Unchained (2012)
I love a great brewery. On a recent trip to Athens, we decided we should visit Terrapin and for the love of their Moo-​Hoo alone, I was game. I was just thrilled to get a pint glass, to be fair.
The parking was insanity — we had to park behind the place and cross a rocky field to get there, but I survived after some stumbles (not gracefully) and we ended up standing in the craziest line to get our glasses and wristbands. The hallway was hot and muggy and not meant for so many people to be standing in it at once.
We got to the first guy who checked our IDs and felt he was a comedian, but instead ended up insulting everyone (comments on weight loss, age, license pictures, etc.)… yeah fire that guy. But then we stood in line number 2 — to get the glasses and pay. Finally, one of the women announced that if you are only buying a glass — come to her — Yes, that many people were buying merchandise! Thank heavens. And line number 3 was the wristbands. Oy.
We get outside and it was a somewhat pleasant day — we grabbed chairs and found a shady spot and enjoyed ourselves and the beer. However, there was a woman crooning and her voice and guitar playing was probably fine had her amp and speaker not been turned up to a deafening level. The best parts of the day were definitely when she was taking breaks. Sorry.
As for the beer — no Moo-​Hoo was on tap (not the right season), but the did have Liquid Bliss. Hello my Peanut Buttery friend. I also enjoyed the Maggie’s Farmhouse — which was a Peach blend. No — it was not because of the name. Fruity and delicious. The Rye Cubed was foul in my opinion — but that type is beer is never meant for me anyway.
A good time was had by all. And Kudos for having King of Pops on the premises.

Nice concept for a tour. Pay $ 10, get 8 samples in your new pint glass, listen to live music, enjoy the outdoor style seating and scenery.
Beers are pretty good. All in all a good time and worth the money. I would probably enjoy a standard tap room there in addition to the «tour.»

The last time I was in Athens a friend and I tried to drop in on a Friday night, but they were at capacity. Luckily, this time, we were able to make it in, and have a decent amount of time to use 7 out of 8 samples.
The atmosphere here is very laid back. You’ll spend most of your time outside, in a fenced in area adjacent to the warehouse. There are a couple of food vendors, several tables, and a live band. It’s a great space to hang out and sample a diverse array of brews when the weather is nice.
Tours depart every few minutes, and it’s pretty interesting to see inside the facility, even if it is tough to hear what the tour guide is trying to explain most of the time. The coolest aspect of the tour has to be the room where they age some of the brews in big wooden barrels. Tours only take about fifteen minutes, but keep in mind that it might cut into your sampling time if it’s a super busy night.
$ 10 gets you a pint glass that you get to keep, along with 8 sample «credits» (you can opt for a full glass fill for 4 credits, but it isn’t worth it, considering 1 credit gets you ¹⁄₃ cup). The brews themselves are quite good, and there’s a diverse, rotating selection, so it’s easy to find at least a couple that you like.
Overall, it’s a great place to come, kill time, hang out with friends, drink beer, and meet dogs.

Athens is damn lucky to have such a fantastic brewery! I’ve lived and vacationed from coast to coast and have always made it a habit to seek out and try the local craft beer from whatever city I’m in. Terrapin ranks amongst the best in both quality and fun happenings on site.
This is one of the best deals in town: $ 10 for a pint glass and 8 pours from their 6 – 10 rotating taps. They hold events pretty regularly, the pint glass designs are constantly changing (I have a pretty colorful and amazing collection in my cupboard), and they often have casks and infused beers on the tour to try.
It’s also a great place to hang out with friends and possibly make new ones. Very dog friendly too, you can bring chairs and footballs, and there are a few sets of cornhole if the mood strikes.
Always try the seasonal or side project beers since they’re here and gone in no time. And tip the pourers!

Terrapin is a really good time every time. Pay $ 10 for a lovely pint glass and get a wristband worth 8 «4 ounce» pours. 4 ounces is the minimum you get per pour. A lesser known secret of the brewery is that you can get a tasting cup and 10 tickets for free! I just discovered this hidden secret. Free beer. No catches.
Terrapin has its classic beers available, but they are always cooking up seasonal specials and twists on their classics. For example, the dos cocoas is a chocolate stout but at the brewery you can get it plain or infused with jalapeño it you are adventurous with your spiciness. The brewery is a great place to sample beers that you wouldn’t normally order or purchase.
The brewery is open every Wednesday through Friday from 5:30 to last call at around 7:20. On the weekends they usually have two people pouring inside, four at the main outside bar, and two additional tents with coolers and special bottled beers. Lines can get a little long but the wait is fun and gives you time to consume your previous drink. They also have live music almost every weekend and often times there are vendors in the garden area. The garden area is perfect for dogs too!
Parking is available in the lot or on the street just past the brewery. Terrapin is a great atmosphere for a relaxing and fun afternoon. For $ 10, you can’t really beat it.
