Wild Heaven Craft Beers

Wild Heaven Craft Beers is an Atlanta-based craft brewery founded in 2010 by Georgia natives Nick Purdy and Eric Johnson, making it one of the earliest craft beer operations in the state. The company specializes in culinary and botanically-driven beers inspired by European brewing traditions combined with a distinctly American creative flair. Wild Heaven operates three taproom brewery locations in the Atlanta metro area — Avondale Estates, West End, and Toco Hills — and distributes its beers across Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and South Carolina. The brewery follows an all-grain, no adjunct-sugar brewing philosophy, producing beers with robust flavor profiles without relying on excess alcohol. Its core year-round portfolio includes flagship brands such as Emergency Drinking Beer and Sunburst IPA, while its seasonal and specialty lineup has included Civilization Barleywine, White Blackbird Saison, Ode To Mercy, Invocation, Eschaton, and Let There Be Light. Wild Heaven also operates an active barrel aging program that has produced multiple award-winning releases. The original Avondale Estates brewhouse was purchased from the founders of SweetWater Brewing, giving the facility notable craft beer heritage. In 2023, the company expanded its beverage portfolio beyond beer to include house-made hard cider, seltzers, craft cocktails, and Georgia wines, broadening its appeal to a wider consumer base. Each taproom location features a curated local restaurant partnership — Al's Pine Street Market Kitchen at Avondale, Eats at West End, and Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q at Toco Hills — reinforcing its strong community-oriented identity. Wild Heaven's taprooms are open seven days a week and regularly host live music, trivia nights, and community events. The company positions itself as a neighborhood-focused brand serving both retail beer consumers and on-premise taproom guests across the Southeast.
