    Popped by here for lunch on our way to Helen. The owner was behind the bar and he was an absolute trip. The food and beer were great and it had a local, hometown feel despite about half the crowd being people from out of town. I can't wait to return next time we're in the area.

    Fantastic beers! Not a huge selection on tap, but the two I tried (brown ale and IPA) were excellent. Adam, the owner, was friendly and knowledgeable. Foot was excellent: I had the German bratwurst and my wife the Autumn Berry Chicken Salad. Both came with pickle spear and chips, both served on pretzel rolls. Both were excellent. Two small, but pet friendly, tables out front seated three each, and we used them as we had the dog in tow. Inside felt like a brewery. Dark, clean, friendly. I have only been to three breweries before this whose beers I would rate as 5-star. This is my fourth. Definitely worth it if passing by on I85 or staying in Hartwell.

    I needed a lunch stop on my way down I-85, shop I did a quick search for breweries with food, and stopped by Gumlog. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the owner/brewer/bartender, and was offered a few sample tasters. He's very proud of his brews, and rightfully so. I saw a variety of well crafted options in various styles, and they were all exceptional. He was also extremely friendly, by the time I left I felt like I was a regular! I settled on a WCIPA (Mr. Lizard) and ordered a brisket sandwich for lunch. It definitely hit the spot, and I had to grab a second pint before I left. Gumlog is a great little brewery, and I hope I can make it a regular stop when I'm traveling I-85.

    We like to try breweries and brew pubs while we travel. This was right on our route, close to the highway, and had beer names that spoke to us, so we hit up Gumlog Brewing. Touted as a "nanobrewery" (single barrel, wish I had gotten pictures of that!) we knew we needed to check it out. We were NOT disappointed. Food was good (you need to have a Bratwurst for sure) and the beers excellent. We had the Wesser Evil Porter and the Fall Ale, and would have had more if we weren't on the road. The bartender (who also happened to be the owner) was friendly and fun without being intrusive. The vibe was chill, it felt like an established place, but it's been there less than a year. You'd never know. If you have the chance, check this place out. You'll thank us later!

    We were camping at Lake Hartwell and drove into town. Came across this spot, and what a great find. The brewmaster was very friendly, asked us each what we liked, and knew which brew to match us with. Ordered the pretzel and it came out hot and delish. We ended up going back for another beer and dinner. It was great!

    So happy that this brewery has opened up in down town area. What a great addition. Great food to snack on and of course the beer was great with a solid amount of different choices. They are also dog friendly in the upfront patio. Staff was super nice and made you feel right at home. Will definitely be back.

    Nice staff, good beer, good vibes. The bartender seemed to know everyone's name. Did not try any food but it looked pretty good!

    We booked a small event space that they offered for my mother in laws birthday!…read more Alex was extremely helpful from the beginning. She gave me all the info I needed to book the proper spot for my group. The day of the event went very smooth. I was allowed in a little early to decorate, service was excellent, and staff was incredibly friendly. They had great food and drink options. I highly recommend the Girl Scout Cookie Flight. They pair beers with cookies. What more could you ask for?!

    I have always had the strong opinion of if a brewery has good beer they don't have good food. If…read morethey have good food, their beer sucks. WELL Fireforge proved me wrong and set themselves apart. We had the pickle platter, Reuben, and studio fifty forge. Although I'm not big on Reuben's my boyfriend said it was one of his top Reuben's and that man orders Reuben's on the regular. The pickle party was delicious. Not sure what they have in their brine but I would purchase again and again. The studio fifty forge was delicious. The only thing I would change is real bacon and not the microwaveable. Even though it was the microwave bacon it was still heated to be crispy. Huge beer selections and friendly staff. PLENTY of outdoor and indoor seating. Parking validation is also available. It might be had to find parking during busier times, but would still go again and recommend to others.

They have a great space with plenty of seating, both indoors and out. They have TVs throughout the brewery so watching a game there is probably pretty easy. I started with the onion rings and then went with the double smash burger and I have to say it was solid. They also have a great selection of beers which included several guest taps. My only piece of constructive criticism is that when I got my 3 growlers filled at the end of my visit (because they have good beer and I wanted to drink more later), my growlers were neither sealed nor labeled. For those that don't know, breweries usually label the growlers with beer your ordered and seal it so it doesn't leak. I've only ever run into this once before, it was in Amarillo, TX. I didn't make a fuss about it but it didn't come off as the most professional or polished in that respect. I'd really like to see them reexamine this part of their operation and possibly consider branded labels for the growlers (so that you know what you're drinking) and branded caps (their dog logo would fit perfectly and be a good way to rep the brand). Overall, I had a great visit. But I'll inquire before getting my growlers filled again.
