Jekyll Brewing Bringing Rooftop Deck To Downtown Alpharetta

ALPHARETTA, GA -- Alpharetta's own Jekyll Brewing is officially expanding and opening its second location in the heart of the growing Alpharetta City Center. The new location will feature a full-service restaurant, tasting room and 2,500 square-foot rooftop deck.

Jekyll will make its new home in the Exchange Building, which is at the corner of Academy and Market streets. The two-level, 6,500 square-foot-space, allows Jekyll to brew on site and feature a tasting room and full-service restaurant, according to the AJC.

Michael Lundmark, founder and CEO of Jekyll Brewing, told the AJC the location will “allow us to serve our customers so much better. Thanks to the prominence and convenience of this location, we’ll be able to offer that and more.”

Brewing capacity at the Alpharetta City Center facility should be around 3,000 barrels a year, according to Eater Atlanta. Dishes at Jekyll’s restaurant, like Nashville hot chicken, paninis and burgers, oysters, and snacks such as pork rinds, are meant to pair with the brewery’s beers. Some seating in the restaurant surrounds the small brewing system, allowing people to watch beers being made or speak with the brew master, Eater said.

“We designed this building to be the icon of downtown Alpharetta, and we had in mind an iconic operator, so Jekyll Brewing is spot on,” Cheri Morris, president of Morris & Fellows told Eater.

The first brewery in the Deep South was founded on Jekyll Island in 1738; today Jekyll Brewing said it is proud to be the first brewery located in Alpharetta. Award-winning Brew Master and Co-owner, Josh Rachel, provides creative direction for a lineup of craft beers that cover the global spectrum of brew styles.
