Brewery Profile

Jekyll Brewing

In Alpharetta’s craft beer story, this brewery was one of the early local names to give the city a dedicated taproom identity. It began in 2013 with the Marconi Taproom, then expanded in 2018 to a second Alpharetta location on Academy Street with a larger taproom, 14 taps, a food kitchen, and a rooftop bar. A visitor walking in during its operating years would have found a brewery built around taproom service rather than only package sales, with beer offered across multiple taps and food available on site. Its Hop Dang Diggity IPA became one of the brewery’s best-known beers in Georgia, helping tie the Alpharetta operation to the wider state craft beer scene.

Travelers in this part of Georgia often look for brewery stops that can work as more than a quick pint: a place to try a local IPA, meet friends, eat, and fold the stop into a broader visit to Alpharetta or North Georgia. Jekyll fit that pattern through its taproom format and later expansion into food service and rooftop seating at the Academy Street location. The brewery also grew beyond Alpharetta, opening a Gainesville venue in February 2020 with 20 taps, event space, and a full-service kitchen. For visitors tracking Georgia beer history, its growth from a single Alpharetta taproom into multiple locations was part of its significance.

The most important practical note is that Jekyll Brewing is no longer operating. Production ceased in February 2025, and founder Michael Lundmark announced the closure of all locations effective May 11, 2025, after 12 years in business. During its run, the visitor-facing amenities included a full kitchen, and the Alpharetta expansion offered a larger taproom setup than the original Marconi Taproom. Anyone researching a trip should treat current listings, maps, or older travel articles with caution and confirm whether any former space has been replaced by a different business before making plans.

Established in 2013, Jekyll Brewing began with the Marconi Taproom in Alpharetta, Georgia. The brewery gained recognition for its Hop Dang Diggity IPA, a notable beer in the state. Expansion followed with a second location opening in 2018 on Academy Street, featuring a larger taproom, 14 taps, a food kitchen, and a rooftop bar. In February 2020, a third venue opened in Gainesville, Georgia, offering 20 taps, event space, and a full-service kitchen. Production ceased in February 2025, and the founder, Michael Lundmark, announced the closure of all locations effective May 11, 2025, marking 12 years of operation.
