Crooked Finger Brewing - Dublin, Georgia

Jonathan D.

It's been a while since I've been to a brewery, especially a new one, in Georgia that blew me away. This brewery, tucked away in a historic building in downtown Dublin, did just that. Not too long ago we'd been to every brewery in Georgia south of I-20, but more have popped up over the last ten months. Yesterday was a great day to take a drive, so wife and I headed out mid morning on a two hour drive to give this place a try.

As usual, we did two flights (which, I just saw on my receipt, are only $8 per flight, least expensive I recall ever seeing), the first being their lagers or pilsners. I generally judged the quality of a brewery and brewer by the lagers, since they pretty much reveal any sins committed, unlike IPAs which can hide a lot of off flavors, etc. Having cut my beer teeth on import beers long before there was a craft beer "scene" in the USA, especially German and east European lagers, my experience is not that many craft breweries do lagers and pilsners really well. So we were very much surprised that each of the four beers we tried were quite well crafted and tasty. Their Lawnchair Pilsener is really nice, as is the Munich Dunkel - but as I mentioned to the brewer, there wasn't one I would NOT drink a full pint (or multiples) of. The IPAs were also very good and we especially liked the White Cloud, a New England style Hazy IPA, but each one would be worthy of a pint.

As I said, we did our usual two flights but then we also each had a pint, which is not usual, while we ate our lunch. The brewery has I would term a permanent "food truck" out off the side deck that puts out, among other fare, smash burgers and wings, which is what we had. Both were wonderful and quite reasonably priced, with a side of perfectly done fries as part of the price. To go with it, the wife had a pint of the Lawnchair Lager and I had a pint of the White Cloud IPA. No complaints whatsoever.

Everybody who drives I-16 between Macon and Savannah has SEEN the signs for Dublin, maybe even stopped at one of the interchanges, but to get into Dublin proper you have to head north on one of those exits about 4 or 5 miles, so obviously this place doesn't get a love "drive by" trade. But if you're anywhere around Dublin when they're open do yourself a favor and drop by for some pretty good beer and food.

Doing Dublin proud, this place has a positive vibe, delicious beer, and tasty food. Smash burgers are great and be ordered has single, double, or triple. Venue itself is large and industrial comfort. Would be a great place to spend an afternoon sampling the different beers on tap. Staff were welcoming and friendly also!

Quality brewery! Had four beers while here; kölsch, wheat beer, DIPA, and a gose (sour); everything was tasty for its style. No beer was a true home run, but the swings were close. Also ordered a double smash burger with fries, which was very good. Complimented the beer very well. The place has a good mojo, and the staff were both friendly and attentive. I’d definitely visit again when in the area.

Amazing! Great atmosphere! Delicious food!

Stopped through Dublin on a road trip. Found this amazing brewery just 9 minutes from our hotel. I’ve been to well over 100 breweries around the world and this one was among one of the best! The beer was great and they had options for our non beer drinkers too. The food was exactly what you would expect from a top notch brewery!

Highly recommend! If you’re passing through or if you’re local…give it a try!

Local spot! If you’re coming through town, this place is where the locals eat! First hometown brewery of Dublin, GA. This used to be a true train station where the train cars were filled. Fun history and a great environment..

LOTS of room! This building has a great downstairs with fun games: ping ping, corn hoke, tower blocks and more. The downstairs is nice and cool. Eat outdoors on the patio or sit inside at the large welcoming tables.

The food truck serves amazing burgers. So far we love every meal we ate here. I love the brisket nachos!

Fresh brewed beers on tap and a selection of basic mixed drinks.

Restrooms are clean, well stocked and handicap accessible.

The decor is inviting and interesting featuring old timey photos and other interesting art.

Poké Trainers! There’s a Poké stop on site and several nearby that can be spun from inside the building or on the patio. Gyms and other stops are just a block away! Catch ‘em all!

Definitely check out this young brewery, it shows great promise from the tasty taps to the friendly service and welcoming -huge!- space. Discovered it while passing through Dublin, Georgia on our way to Tybee Island. Tasted the IPAs, the stout, the Kölsch, and the lager and all were fresh and delicious. Especially loved the DIPA and the stout. Looking forward to a longer visit in the future and to being able to pick up some product to take to our beachside getaway in the future. Hope to see a crowler option so I can get some draught right from the tap to take home to share with friends. Best of luck to you, ya brewing Bafana Bafanas!

Ordered a flight of their Porter, Gose, Amber, and Kölsch beers. They were all
Very good. The porter was our favorite. We also ordered a smash burger and fries from their food truck that is there all the time. The burger was seasoned well and the fries were delicious. They take your number when you order and you can sit anywhere. You get a text message when your food is ready and you pick it up at the food truck. I loved the Modern Industrial aesthetic of the entire space. It was massive and would be a great spot for an event or party. They are currently out of merchandise unfortunately.
