Hiawassee Brew

Hiawassee Brew is a brewery and full-service taproom in Hiawassee, set near Lake Chatuge in the North Georgia mountains. Its tap list combines house beers with rotating guest brews, alongside craft seltzers, nonalcoholic options, and wines from Georgia producers Crane Creek Vineyards and Hightower Creek Vineyards. The food program is more substantial than a typical taproom menu, with burgers, wings, cheesesteaks, fish and chips, sandwiches, and wood-fired dishes, plus a dedicated kids menu. The location’s mountain and lake setting is a defining part of the experience, making it as much a casual dining stop as a place to sample beer. Visitors can expect a broad beverage selection, a full meal, and easy access to the outdoor attractions around Hiawassee and Lake Chatuge.
