In the South, cracking open a cold one is more about coming together than anything else, no matter where you come from or whether you prefer mild pale lagers or hoppy double IPAs. With our penchant for porch sipping and tailgating, it’s no wonder that the all-American pastime has become somewhat of a Southern tradition. Southern craft brews have evolved from rootless existence, jumping from cooler to cooler, to ruling over their own drinking holes. Once the breweries flipped the status quo—don’t bring the beer to the people, bring the people to the beer—Southerners didn’t take long to jump on board. With the hot and humid summers and temperate winters, the South makes a case for yearlong brewery hangouts. These fine Southern establishments let old friends (and new) break bread—er, fill glasses—together in harmony. Our favorite Southern breweries don’t just offer a bar to belly up to for an impressive selection of brews, but act as local stomping grounds where we can play corn hole, eat a five-star burger, let our four-legged friends hang out, and sink into a perfectly worn wooden table for the afternoon. No matter which Southern state you hail from, you have a brewery that feels like home, and it just might be on this list. Check out the South’s best brewery in every state–chosen by you.
