USA, GA: StillFire Brewing looking to bring craft beer to Smyrna next year

An award-winning local brewery is working to bring craft beer and pizza to Smyrna, What Now Atlanta reported on September 23.

StillFire Brewing is planned for 2700 Atlanta Road SE, part of Smyrna Market Village. It would be located in front of the Smyrna Community Center, at the corner of Atlanta Road and Powder Springs Street.

According to construction documents, the two-story brewery will be more than 26,400 square feet and include patio space. There will also be an adjacent 800-square-foot building that will serve pizza.

StillFire Brewing currently has a taproom and brewery in downtown Suwanee that opened in 2019. The company was named “Georgia Brewery of the Year” at the New York International Beer Competition in both 2023 and 2024, along with winning medals for several of its beers.

Their second location has been a few years in the making. The Smyrna City Council voted to sell the land to StillFire Brewing in 2022 for $600,000. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in September 2023, but then further progress stalled.

The company cited increased costs, inflation and higher interest rates all as challenges to a project of this size, saying that visible progress on the brewery should start to come to fruition this fall.

“We share in your frustration in the delays; but know it has been our focus to make sure we not only build a great brewery for Smyrna, but a social gathering place for the community, that is built to last for many years to come,” said an Instagram post.

StillFire Brewing is expected to open in Smyrna in 2025.
