With so many breweries in Georgia now, it can be hard to keep up. We like to highlight one notable brewery in each issue of the magazine to showcase the incredible array of beer styles and the rich, fascinating beer scene that Georgia has grown into over the past several years. Read on to discover the world of beer in your backyard!
Steady Hand Beer Co. in Atlanta’s upper Westside opened in March 2019 and hasn’t looked back. The brewery is a mere stone’s throw from fellow Atlanta breweries Fire Maker Brewing Co., Bold Monk Brewing Co., Second Self Beer Co. and Round Trip Brewing Co.
With such talented company, Steady Hand sets itself apart from its neighbors with an inviting “outdoors-brought-indoors” taproom that makes you feel like you might not ever want to leave. Good tunes are blasting from the stereo, warm vibes are emanating from all that are present, or one of the brewery’s many live music performances will transport you to a world beyond your own – all with terrific beers in hand.
The brewery cans many of its beers, though the taproom is the sole home for a few of its rarer creations. You’ll always be able to find the brewery’s four core beers: Cloudland Hazy IPA, Steady Hand Lager, Paradise Waits IPA and Flower Business Double IPA. All of these beers have beautifully designed labels that noticeably stand out on retail shelves against some of the more staid options around.

Among some of the brewery’s seasonal releases is Circles of the Sun, a toasted coconut blonde stout that is both fascinating and scrumptious, Rare Spiral, a pineapple and ginger fruited sour with perhaps the company’s most beautiful label, and Last Minute Gift Idea, an imperial stout with label artwork that looks like a Christmas sweater (just in case you needed guidance on a too-late gift option for a neighbor or co-worker).
“Consistency, quality, taste and drinkability are paramount and can only be achieved through honesty, integrity, hard work and dedication to our craft,” says the brewery’s website. That dedication and hard work shines through in the brewery’s myriad beer options. And if you fall in love with a beer while you’re there, make sure to check the refrigerator by the door – you might be able to buy a sixer to take home!
The brewery’s taproom is both welcoming and spacious, and there’s plenty of room for large parties or more intimate gatherings of close friends. The brewery’s outdoor area curls around the building and is a lovely place to bring the whole family, kids and pets included.

Steady Hand plays host to a variety of events, including the aforementioned stacked live music calendar. Themed trivia is also a major part of the brewery’s weekly activities, as a quick glance at the brewery’s event calendar showcases Bob’s Burgers, The Office and The Simpsons trivia games occurring in consecutive weeks.
Steady Hand states on its website that they “want to create something special, memorable, and valuable by forming a bond with and serving the community. [They] want to be a gathering place, a place of comfort and inspiration that’s welcoming and accessible, a source of pride.”
One visit to the brewery’s Westside taproom will have you feeling right at home. And during the holidays, that’s all you can ask for.
