Known for American Brown Ale · American IPA

Alabama's most beloved craft brewery, founded in 2008 in Birmingham's Loft District. Good People was one of the first craft breweries to open after Alabama lifted its ban on high-gravity beer in 2009. Their IPA became Alabama's defining craft beer — the pint that proved the Deep South could embrace hop-forward brewing.

Good People Brewing Company's beers land close to what is typical for the American IPA and Double IPA styles they brew. The character is in the styles they choose and how consistently they hit them — not in standing apart from the field.
