Cartecay Bike Shop Brewery

Cartecay Bike Shop Brewery combines a full-service bicycle shop and on-site microbrewery in Ellijay, tying its beer program directly to North Georgia’s mountain biking culture. House-made beer, cider, and seltzer are brewed at the shop, while the cycling side offers bike sales, repairs, rentals, trail advice, and organized rides. Behind the building, a five-acre Backyard Bike Park along the Ellijay River gives riders space to practice on features ranging from beginner-friendly to more challenging terrain. The taproom includes indoor and outdoor seating and welcomes both children and dogs. For visitors exploring Gilmer County’s extensive trail network, Cartecay is unusual in offering a place to service or shop for a bike, ride on-site, and have a locally brewed drink without changing locations.
