Cartecay Bike Shop Brewery - Ellijay, Georgia

Enjoyable brewery that is definitely a bike shop first and foremost. I came in solely for the beer; had no bike issues at this time. The inside is basically a bike shop with some stools and tables. There’s more stool seating outside along with some picnic tables out back. Staff are very friendly and attentive and definitely elevated the experience. Dude serving the drinks described it as a ‘small time operation’, but they produce some solid beer nonetheless. There’s one solo bathroom that I saw and there’s about eight spots directly out front for parking. You’re not going to get the normal brewery vibes here, but it’s definitely worth checking out for being so unique. Stop here before or after Cartecay River Brewing if you want to experience everything the area has to offer locally with regards to beer.

Super nice dudes who helped my wife and I plan a day trip into Mulberry Gap.

We travel a lot for riding and try to visit all the local bike shops we can.

Some are more welcoming than others, and these guys are the helpful kind.

If you find yourself in town, swing by and grab a few things. It's important to support these shops.

We actually met Dondi on the Bear Creek Trail while biking! He was super friendly and gave us directions to make sure we had a good ride. We had to stop into the bike store while we were in town and it’s awesome. They have I believe a 5 acre biking trail behind the shop that’s free to test ride their bikes! It’s a great set up and we are so excited for them to start serving beer too. The owner was friendly enough to show us the whole set up of their beer making process and was very down to earth. We can’t wait to come back to Ellijay and see this spot grow!

Joe and the team saved me big time when I urgently needed a new crank a few days ago. Not only did they magically have a good one at hand, but they professionally put it in place and also served up a most refreshing dark lager while I witnessed their skills at work.
Can't recommend these guys enough!

I can't say enough good things about this shop. Staff is weloming, helpful and knowledgeable. Had an issue with a new Giant MTB I bought elsewhere and they resolved it extremely fast. Been to multiple shops in the NW metro Atlanta area and will only be taking my bikes here for service and if I need any new gear.

I recently moved to the Ellijay area and was looking at getting back into riding. Ben, Dondi, and TJ took me right in and treated me great. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They have been a pleasure to do business with and their brewery is AWESOME!!!

Great stop in Ellijay, GA for bikes & beers brewed in-house. Wonderful, dependably friendly staff, Dondi, Ben, and TJ make Cartecay Bike Shop a great place to visit for all cyclists, esp. MTB & gravel enthusiasts! 🚴‍♂️ 🚵‍♀️ Or just stop in for a beer. 🍻

These guys are great. Rolled in, luckily they had what I needed (with a little upgrade), and even did the install for me while i waited. Gotta love small businesses owned and operated by people who love what they do. 😉😊 Added bonus...this fella....rightfully named PawPaw, hung out with me.
