Piedmont Brewery & Kitchen

Piedmont Brewery & Kitchen is a downtown Macon brewpub that has paired house-brewed beer with a full smokehouse-focused kitchen since opening in 2017. The brewery produces both approachable styles and more experimental releases, giving its tap list room to range beyond a fixed lineup of traditional offerings. Food is a major part of the experience, with smoked brisket, pulled pork, chicken, wings, and other Southern-influenced dishes forming the core of the menu. The original Macon location was designed as a family-friendly brewpub, including a classic game room that gives it a different feel from a standard taproom. Piedmont works especially well for visitors looking for a brewery where the food program is as central to the visit as the beer.
