Meet Our Head Brewer
Alex Ciaburri
Leading YAVA’s brewing program is Head Brewer Alex Ciaburri, whose passion for quality, consistency, and craftsmanship is reflected in every beer we serve.
Alex oversees every stage of the brewing process, from recipe development and ingredient selection to fermentation and quality control. His approach combines respect for traditional brewing techniques with a focus on creating approachable, well-balanced beers that guests can enjoy time and time again.
At YAVA, beer is brewed with the entire guest experience in mind. Alex works to create beers that not only stand on their own but also complement the flavors coming from our kitchen. Whether it’s a crisp lager, hop-forward IPA, traditional ale, or seasonal release, every beer is crafted with the goal of bringing people together around great food, great beer, and good company.
A Beer for Every Palate
The beauty of craft beer is its variety.
Our brewing program regularly features a diverse range of styles, from light and refreshing lagers to hop-forward IPAs, rich dark ales, traditional European-inspired beers, and seasonal releases. Some beers are designed to be easy-drinking and approachable, while others explore more complex flavors and brewing techniques.
No matter your preferences, our goal is to offer a selection that encourages exploration while remaining approachable for every guest who walks through our doors.
In addition to our own house-brewed beers, we proudly feature guest taps from fellow Georgia craft breweries. Supporting local breweries and showcasing great beer from around our region allows us to offer an even broader selection while celebrating the thriving craft beer community that makes North Georgia special.
Seasonal & Limited Release Beers
One of the advantages of operating an on-site brewhouse is the ability to continuously experiment and innovate.
Throughout the year, our brewers create seasonal and limited-release beers inspired by changing seasons, local ingredients, special events, and creative new ideas. These small-batch releases give guests an opportunity to experience something new with every visit.
Because these beers are often available for a limited time, there’s always a reason to stop by and see what’s currently on tap.
Brewed to Pair with Food
At YAVA, our beer program and kitchen work hand in hand.
Rather than treating beer as an afterthought, we brew with food in mind. The goal is to create beers that complement the flavors coming from our kitchen and enhance the overall dining experience.
Whether you’re enjoying a wood-fired dish, a handcrafted burger, fresh seasonal ingredients, or a shareable appetizer, there’s a beer style that can elevate those flavors. The result is a true brewpub experience where food and beer are designed to work together.
Why Choose a Local Brewery?
Choosing a local brewery means supporting local craftsmanship, local jobs, and local community.
Independent breweries have always been gathering places - spaces where neighbors meet, friendships form, and communities grow stronger. Every pint poured represents countless hours of work, creativity, and passion from the people behind it.
At YAVA, we’re proud to be part of the growing craft beer community in Forsyth County and North Georgia. By supporting local breweries - including our own brewing program you help strengthen a network of small businesses dedicated to quality, hospitality, and community.
