Well, I never met a beer I didn't drink. And down it goes". - Norm Peterson, Cheers…read more I'm not a beer snob. I'm as ok with a tall boy PBR as I am with a craft IPA. With that being said, when I do check out a new brewery, I am a bit more critical. RockSolid Brewing is indeed rock solid when it comes to its beers. While there were no real standouts, they were all easy to drink and enjoyable. The Linger Longer Lager was crisp and clean, but lacked some depth. The Beez Knees was a very easy to drink blond ale. Phenomena was a very decent IPA. My favorite beer of this visit was the Summer of The Cicada shandy, a tasty wheat beer and lemonade brew. The brewery is big and fairly spartan and could benefit from a makeover. Service was great and super friendly. Great place to hang out if your hanging out in Ball Ground.

We ordered food at Ball Ground Burger Bus although there are other options and you can certainly bring your own food too. It's totally ok to eat here just don't make a mess. Nicole and I both tried the Bohemian Hazy which looked great but for me could have been a tad more hoppy (perhaps dry hop the recipe a little more?). We enjoyed the local art on the walls and all the activities that this Brewery sets up for locals on nearly each day of the week. I love that it attracts runner with a Humpday 5k!

They have a really good in house chef that has a very good menu selection, from salads, sandwiches, wood fired pizza, mussels, and the wings are fantastic. TV situation - a feel of a sports bar yet also highly craft beer spot feeling, I like that you can catch a game on a really good sized TV here but still have a good solid chill vibe. Service - always on point, always have what I need there, friendly service as well. Pro Tip - make sure to check out the patio overlooking the lake, it's a beautiful spot to each outdoors!

You can see the beer being brewed right in the seating area. Yes, ask the owner how it's going he's going to share with you. If you need to get out for the night stop by, get a pizza next door ( they will deliver it to you too). Come hang out have a beer or seltzer, this is the place to be in the weekends. When it warms up the outdoor seating will be perfect too. I highly recommend this hidden gem. Cheers!!!

Well it definitely was butt-cold out when we visited Grumpy Old Men Brewing, but luckily it was warm inside, and there was indeed plenty of beer!

My brother and nephew are in town and they looked this spot up for lunch, so we came by today…read more Plenty of parking, right off exit 16 on 400. We sat upstairs with a group of ladies playing mah jong which was cool to see. The host Gabby was nice, after greeting us we were seated in a booth and began looking at the menu. Our server was Taylor, who was friendly, helpful, and really good at her job. Never needed anything bc she was great! I started with one of their blackberry ciders, my brother got a sour. For an app we ordered a giant pretzel and it was delicious. Whole grain mustard and gooey cheese were served on the side. Hard not to want to eat more than one. For entrees I went with a Reuben with a side of tater tots. The Reuben was tasty, they shred the corned beef up so it's easier to eat, and you get consistent bites every time. Their 1000 island dressing is KILLER. It's definitely homemade and I ordered a side for my tots. Nephew got the salmon BLT with sweet potato fries, and my brother got the Philly cheesesteak with tots as well. Once he tried my suggestion of dipping in the dressing, he got a side as well. The GM Andrew came by and checked on us. Service level is great here, made us feel welcome and happy we were in here. Since I'm technically on the clock I had to head out after two ciders. I could see myself being here for hours, if I'm not careful. Support small owned businesses! Thanks to the team and especially Taylor for a great lunch today/

They do not brew their own beer (aka no beer flights) so not sure why they are called a brewery. This felt more like a restaurant. There were tons of seats, and it was very nice! The outdoor seating is downstairs (no elevator). The drink menu needs descriptions, not just names. The drinks we did have were great (strong & not overpriced). The old-fashioned had regular ice not the large square or ball ice like most old-fashioned. We did send the fish & chips back because the fish wasn't crispy. It was soggy & fishy. We did enjoy the house chips and atmosphere. We would give them another try.
