Anderby Brewery Opens in Tech Park

A dog-friendly brewery with event space in Peachtree Corners

On Saturday, July 27, Anderby Brewing opens its doors to the public. Its location at 110 Technology Parkway features a spacious taproom that opens out onto a patio with outdoor seating and a 75-inch flat-screen TV.

The beer menu pays homage to Georgia, and specifically Peachtree Corners. The owners, Michell and Preston Smelt, are brewing specialty beers for the opening. Among the offerings are the “Jay Bird Bitter” and “141 Lager,” as well as “Helen,” a Vienna lager.

“We use the beer styles as a guide, but we’re going to have fun with it,” Preston said. “If people really like it, we’ll make it again. My goal is to make stuff that sounds good to us and hopefully, others will like it too.”

Preston started making beer about seven years ago after his wife, Michell, purchased a Groupon for beer-making lessons and a kit. He learned how to brew and then started putting together different recipes, ultimately creating a pilot system with multiple propane tanks. The name, “Anderby,” stems from a small town in England where Preston traced his ancestry.

“We have a 10-barrel system in our brewhouse, and all of our beers will feature malts from Riverbend Malthouse in Ashville, N.C.,” Michell said. “To start, we’ll have six beers on tap, including a pale ale, a couple of IPAs, a blonde and a bitter.”

Some of the up and coming offerings will include a Double Chocolate Oatmeal Milk Stout, a porter and a couple of lagers. “We can have up to 20 beers on tap at any given time,” Michell added.

Anderby won’t sell food but will have snack offerings, and patrons are welcome to order food through services like Grubhub and Uber Eats.

The brewhouse also houses approximately 1,000 square feet of event space with its own bar.

One more thing — dogs are welcome. “We are avid animal lovers and Anderby will be dog-friendly,” Michell said.

It also comes with the option of one of the three sides: hand-cut fries, onion rings or the tasty Cry + Fry basket combo.

Dog Days Hot Dogs & Burgers

The All-American Burger comes in three patty sizes: 6-oz., 1⁄2-pound and 12-oz. It’s topped with American cheese, onions, tomatoes and lettuce. It’s an all-time fan favorite at Dog Days Hot Dogs & Burgers because of its unforgettable flavor and classic taste.

Marlow’s Tavern

If you’re dining at Marlow’s Tavern, the Classic Tavern Burger is a must. While the burger is simple, the delicate seasoning and fresh toppings take it to a whole new level. The burger comes with a toasted sesame brioche roll and the delicious house-made tomato bacon jam.

Marlow’s Tavern also offers a grilled chicken patty substitute for those who don’t eat beef. To top off this perfect meal, order a side of Marlow’s hand-cut Tavern fries.

BurgerIM Gourmet Burgers

If you’re dining at BurgerIM, you need to try the Spanish Beef Burger. It’s a nicely grilled patty topped with grilled jalapeño, leaf lettuce and pepper jack cheese. The flavors go together wonderfully, but the jalapeño peppers add a kick of spice that isn’t for everyone.

BurgerIM also offers you a choice of premium toppings, but I recommend adding bacon for some extra crunch. If you aren’t sure what kind of burger you want, BurgerIM also gives customers the opportunity to try multiples with their duo or trio packs.

Farm Burger

Farm Burger’s No. 2 Housemade Veggie Burger is another great alternative for vegans or vegetarians. The patty is made out of quinoa, black-eyed peas, kale, roasted mushrooms, sweet potatoes and spices that pull all the flavors together.

Veggie Burger pairs well with the Farm Burger fries, which are hand-cut, tossed with spicy garlic and covered in parmesan and herbs. For dessert, indulge in the Farm Burger classic chocolate milkshake, which gets sweeter with every sip.

Cheeseburger Bobby’s

Even though Cheeseburger Bobby’s classic burger is legendary, the Bucket List reigns supreme. This dish, which can be ordered off Bobby’s Specialty Burger List, includes two perfectly grilled beef patties, a fried egg, an onion ring, American cheese, Bobby’s sauce and a pickle.

While this sounds like a hodgepodge of different foods, the flavors meld perfectly with every bite. Pairing this burger with a side of freshly made onion rings makes the meal even more enjoyable.
