#2 Beer Bar in the World - Decatur's very own, The Brick Store Pub

One of the highlights at the top of my "pros" list when deciding to move back to Atlanta from Los Angeles, was the prospect of living within such close proximity to the Brick Store Pub in Decatur.  At the time, "The Brick", as a few of us regulars refer to it for short, was rounding at the top 5 best beer bars in the world at a dismal (seemingly now) #5, having been beaten out by bars like Monk's Cafe (Philadelphia) and others that, in my opinion, yield in comparison.  Well, not anymore!  

In the most recent rating of the top 10 best beer bars in the world (publicized annually by Beer Advocate Magazine), "the Brick" sealed the deal on the #2 spot, losing only to Ebenezer's Pub in Maine (to which I've not yet had the priviledge of having patronized).

That being said, I've managed to run into an overwhelming number of Atlanta natives of late who have NOT yet EVER been to the Brick Store.  WTF?  So completely inexcusable!

You can pretty much blindfold yourself, spin around in a circle 100 times, and then point at a calendar and decide to go to the Brick Store on that day, and they'll have an incredible draft beer selection, no doubt.  BUT, if you're like me, and you don't want to have to wait until the 32nd of June to go there, go NOW, whilst they have 2 of the best Saisons I've ever tasted on draft.

Sierra Nevada Brown Saison & Dupont Saison Foret are seriously fantastic saison style drafts.  The Foret variety of the classic Saison Dupont is organically produced, has a HUGE vanilla nose and a sweet, citrusy finish.  Western Coastal U.S. brewery Sierra Nevada gives shout out to the Old Belgian Farmhouse Classic Saison with its Brown Saison, tasting of orange rind, coriander, and licorice (from the star anise).

Whether you're a regular or a first timer, make no excuses and take your @$$ down to the Brick Store in Decatur now before these unique and rarely available draft saisons are gone.

Cheers,
