Meander Brewing Company

Meander Brewing Company is an independent craft brewery and taproom in downtown Buford, just off the city’s historic Main Street district. Owners Mike Branam and Paul Bushell opened the brewery in 2024 after years of homebrewing together, with Branam bringing more than two decades of brewing experience and prior professional brewery work. Meander operates a seven-barrel brewhouse with multiple fermenters and serving tanks, giving the taproom room for a broad range of house-made beers rather than a narrow stylistic focus. The 3,200-square-foot space carries an outdoors-inspired design, including a live-edge bar, natural wood details, and a large Meander mural. Indoor and outdoor seating make it a practical stop for visitors exploring Buford’s walkable downtown entertainment area.
