Lake Oconee Brewery
Experience the best special event venue in the Lake Oconee area ! Oconee Brewing Company has been voted the top choice in the 2018 Lake Oconee Living Readers ’ Choice Awards . With a breathtaking 3,600 square foot event space overlooking a party patio through a stunning 18-foot glass wall , we are the perfect location for your corporate events , weddings , parties , and more .
But Oconee Brewing Company is more than just a venue . We also host our own exciting events , such as football viewing parties and live concerts , ensuring that there ’ s always something happening .
The idea for Oconee Brewing Company sprouted when John and Nathan McGarity realized that Greensboro , Georgia was the ideal location for a craft brewery . With its thriving day trip tourism industry and proximity to major cities like Atlanta and Athens , Greensboro had everything except a craft brewery .
That ’ s where we come in . Opening on May 6 , 2017 , our team of John and Nathan McGarity , along with partner Taylor Lamm , transformed a former cotton mill warehouse into a state-of-the-art facility . We not only have a retail production facility and a tasting room open to the public , but also a unique event space that can cater to any occasion .
At Oconee Brewing Company , we are committed to supporting the local community . We use local resources , such as feeding the spent grain from our beer production to the black Angus cattle at Farmer ’ s Feed and Seed , our neighbor . The beef from these cattle then returns to local markets , keeping the economic cycle thriving .
