RateBeer Brew Tour Guide's Comments
With Brewmaster Glen Sprouse specializing in traditional German lagers and Assistant Brewer Spike Buckowski specializing in California-style ales, 5 Seasons has a wide variety of beers to brew. In fact, their large and still-expanding recipe list recently forced Lionheart Pale Ale off the list of year-round brews. This freed up a tap to serve more rotating beers. The food can be a bit pricey, but is worth it for those that can afford it.

I only had one full pint here. A nice large facility with lots of outdoor seating. The parking situation is currently a little weird, but I am sure that will get fixed soon. The beer I had was decent. They were nice enough to allow a few from the ATL crew to sample a few beers. Nice wait staff if not particularly attentive.

Very average selection and service. Additionally the construction next door makes parking an issue. The food was good. Worth a stop if in the area but nothing to seek out.

Big time construction going on right now on Roswell, so this place was very well hidden, and drove about 5 miles past it before turning around. Pretty up scale place, although i didnt think the prices were to bad. I love the Grilled Chicken i got and the wife loved there salads. I got the sampler of their beer. Pretty good stuff, really liked the stout and marzen. Really nice place, and great service.

An upscale brewpub, pretty yuppity in the dinner time hours I was there (with three tired little kids in the middle of a 10hr drive). Food was fancy and portions on the fancy-small size, but the beer selection and quality pretty good. While you won’t need a tie to visit here (we called ahead of time and grungy little kids and travelers were welcomed), you won’t feel uncomfortable putting one on if you have it with you. Service was fair, but again it sorta matched the atmosphere and was slightly terse/snooty.

This is one of the few brewpub restaurants I’ve been to which caters to quality food lovers as much as craft beer lovers. The Duck 2 Ways was an exquisite dinner, just like the crab and cream cheese ravioli. The atmosphere is upscale and maybe a little too dark for my liking, but the open room setup somehow made it possible for everyone to feel comfortable, which is always appreciated. Our waiter was perhaps a newcomer to the trade and was nothing more than polite, but Dennis, the owner, came to join us after the meal and let’s just say he knows how to take care of his customers! There were 5 beers on tap that day, all of which were very competently brewed, including a beautiful Vienna, which is rather rare in North America. Some bottle-conditioned beers are available for on-site consumption if you ask for them, but I would have preferred that list to be advertised as we were only made aware of it after our meal. Overall, this is a brewpub very much in the vein and quality of Iron Hill (DE), Trou du Diable (QC), and Cambridge Brewing (MA), just to name a few, in other words a restaurant where fine dining meets fine brewing. I’d definitely like to see more of those around!

Great food fresh and original ingredients. Cool bar staff and a friendly head brewer. Beers are solid the IPA and Imperial Scotch were top-notch. A must-stop in north Atlanta.

Love it Love it Love it! This is my favorite place for a nice evening out. I typically sit at the bar to take advantage of the bartender’s beer knowledge. The menu is always changing. I can’t say enough. I’ve taken numerous people here and they all agree. They were able to find something they loved to eat and able to pair there food with great beer. I’ve now moved to Orlando, and nothing compares.

Went their with Kleyland and ran in to fellow ratebeer member skaughty. We found the ambience pretty nice. Food was a little weird for my taste. Would have liked a few more beers on tap and maybe some higher gravity offerings. Still enjoyed the place. Staff was good. Didnt hit up the bar.

Nice place, although without much character. Only had a couple of appetizers, but they were pretty good, if a bit expensive. Stout was good as was the BW. The West Coast Pale was pretty good as well. Met the brewer, really nice guy. Good place.

I can’t believe I forgot to rate this one. Stopped in with SoLan and Crizay. Very solid beers and very tasty food. Nice decor, great staff and the owner sort of spotted us as beer lovers and offered to open up some stuff from his personal stash. Sadly, we didn’t have time. It’s a great brewpub though and the beers are worth a stop alone, but the food is also quite tasty and everything was very reasonably priced, which is the case all over Georgia it seems.
