Birmingham Metro Breweries and Taprooms

Birmingham Metro is the heart of Alabama craft beer. The Magic City's industrial bones — old iron works, gin factories, and firehouses — have been reborn as some of the South's best taprooms. Good People, pouring across from Regions Field since 2008, is the state's oldest and best-known craft brewery; Avondale Brewing turned a historic firehouse into the anchor of an entire revitalized district; TrimTab's sours and IPAs have won national attention; and Cahaba Brewing fills a sprawling hall in the old Continental Gin works. With Jefferson and Shelby county suburbs adding taprooms every year, Birmingham is the essential weekend for anyone drinking their way through Alabama.
