Fertile Ground Beer Company
Opened in May 2022 at Belhaven Town Center in Jackson, Fertile Ground takes a deliberately different approach to the Mississippi beer scene — focusing on lagers when IPAs ruled the craft world. Owner Matthew McLaughlin: "IPAs ruled the world for the last 15 years. We make some, but we really focus on lagers, which take a considerable amount of time and attention to brew." Named to Mississippi's Top 5 breweries list.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
