Red Clay Brewing Company

Red Clay Brewing Company

Red Clay Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom located in downtown Opelika with roots firmly entrenched in the South. The founders of the Company were all born and raised here. The red clay native to this region of the South, and that we all knew so well growing up, became a natural moniker for their business. Red Clay Brewing represents the history of the South we love and call home. Opelika is a Muskogee word meaning Big Swamp, and this became the inspiration for one of their first beers: Big Swamp Stout. Another beer, Hop Jubilee, is inspired by the late-night jubilee`s the founders attended off the eastern shore of Mobile Bay.
