The Beer Traveller

Max Lager’s was located right in the heart of downtown Atlanta, right off one of the 55 Peachtree streets. I say this because anyone who has ever been to Atlanta soon realizes that every other street in this city is named Peachtree something or other.
Max’s is uneventful from the outside, but the interior is that of a historic building with lots of character & sparse decoration.  Sometimes the building will speak for itself.  Both the hostess & waitress were very friendly & wiling to meet our needs.  It appeared that the establishment was doing quite well as they had several freshly installed fermentation vessels upstairs. The mash tun & brew kettle were downstairs.
Gwen & myself both ordered one of their beer samplers while Zach got a Max Black.  Food wise I got one of their well-known brick oven pizzas.  With the exception of them giving me chicken instead of artichokes, the pizza was delicious.
As for the brews, they overall ranked a little above average.  The Hefeweizen was at the bottom of the list, with a Drinkable, b/c it didn’t taste like a Hefe & it did taste a little skunky.  Max Red was also down there due to too mild of a flavor.  Everything else including the German Kolsch, Max Pils, & Max Black all received a Likable. The Max APA (American Pale Ale) may have received an Exceptional on a different day, but I rated a very Likable.
If you’re in Atlanta looking for some quality pie & a cold one, than this just might be your spot!
