Started by two Georgian home brewers, Terrapin is the result of a truly innovative spirit as well as a genuine love for beer. While they're on the small side, the Athens brewery is growing-and fast. They're expansion is owed in part to buzzed-about beers like Hopsecutioner IPA and Wake 'N' Bake Coffee Oatmeal Stout, but it's how these flavorful beers consistently live up to their name that's made this brewery a household name across the east coast, and even further. They're also partnering up with breweries like Left Hand and Swiss brewer Brasserie BFM to produce notable collaborations you should aim to get your hands on.
