NoFo Brew Co Named Georgia’s #1 Brewery by James Magazine Readers
We’ve got exciting news to share — NoFo Brew Co has been named the #1 brewery in Georgia in the 2025 James Magazine “Sippin’ Local” poll!
Each year, James Magazine invites its readers across the state to vote for their favorite breweries, wineries, and distilleries. In their recently released Tourism and Hospitality issue, NoFo Brew Co topped the list, coming in as the #1 choice of Georgia breweries for readers.

“Thank you so much to James Magazine and its readers for voting NoFo Brew Co as their No. 1 favorite Georgia brewery,” said Co-Founder and CEO Joe Garcia. “We are so honored to top this list and be named alongside some of our great friends like Creature Comforts and Reformation.”
This recognition means the world to us — not just because it reflects our craft, but because it was voted on by the community we serve. Every beer we brew, every spirit we distill, and every guest we welcome is part of our mission to bring unforgettable hospitality to our community.
“NoFo simply wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible people on our team,” said Eliana Bean, Director of Marketing and Events. “Our team pours their heart and soul into every detail, and it’s that effort that turns everyday moments into something special.”
We are so proud of our team for earning this recognition — their passion and dedication are at the heart of everything we do.
“We’re extremely honored to be voted Georgia’s No. 1 brewery,” said Jonny Bradley, Director of Brewing and Distilling Operations. “Our brewers and distillers work hard to produce high-quality beer and spirits, so to everyone who has noticed this, we thank you all very much.”
