Oakhurst Brewpub Among 2016's Most Anticipated Craft Brew Openings

The Oak Brewpub, set to open this summer in Decatur’s Oakhurst community, has been named one of the city’s most anticipated craft brewery openings by Atlanta Magazine.

Here’s what the magazine had to say about the brewery:

“A local brewpub in the heart of the Oakhurst neighborhood seems like a no-brainer, and it’s easy to imagine the locals flocking here just as they do for special tappings at Steinbeck’s Ale House. Owner Daniel McKinney has hired brewer Charles Duffney, whose resume includes Westbrook Brewing and Orpheus, is a graduate of the Siebel Institute in Chicago, widely recognized as the country’s premier program for learning professional brewing. Oak Brewpub will be self-sufficient, with all its product consumed on-premises.

“As for what they’ll be brewing, McKinney hasn’t quite decided: “It will depend on when we open. We’ll definitely have three to four beers that you can expect to see regularly, and seven to eight rotating beers depending on the season. If we were open right now, we’d be making some heavier beers, spiced beers.”
