Contrast Artisan Ales – Marietta

Contrast Artisan Ales’ Marietta taproom brings the brewery’s wide-ranging beer program to downtown Marietta. Contrast brews across several distinct categories, including lighter blondes, pale ales, ambers and reds; tart and sour beers made largely with a house Lactobacillus culture; hop-forward styles ranging from West Coast to hazy IPAs; and year-round dark beers such as porters and stouts. Its approach mixes traditional styles with more experimental techniques, including fruit, herbs, spices, tea, coffee, dry hopping and oak aging. Visitors can expect a beer-focused taproom with a broad stylistic range rather than a lineup centered on a single specialty. The brewery also hosts food trucks and pop-ups, along with other taproom events, making the Marietta location a flexible stop while exploring the city’s downtown area.
