Coastal Empire Beer Co. (Craft Beer & Brewery in Savannah GA)

Coastal Empire Beer Co. in Savannah, Georgia is a bold experiment in Southern brewing, where tradition gets a cheeky twist. Their flagship Savannah Brown Ale has hoarded enough awards to make the local judges sweat, and the pecan‑infused Praline Amber Ale proves that nuts belong in beer as much as they belong in pies. The roster also boasts a feather‑light blonde ale that slides down like a cool breeze, and a barrel‑aged brown ale that spends more time in wood than most people spend in gyms.

Step into the taproom and you’ll be greeted by a warm, industrial‑looking space that hides its polished charm behind exposed brick and steel, while the bartenders (who seem to have a PhD in hop chemistry) answer every question with a grin. The beer list is a who’s‑who of in‑house creations, from the crisp, easy‑drinking blonde to the complex, nutty amber, and every style in between, making it Savannah’s most awarded production brewery. Even the local alligators are welcome, provided they stay leashed—nothing says ‘civilised drinking’ like a reptile politely waiting for its pint.
