CHEERS TO A HOPPY LIFE!
Thanks to a fellow Yelp Elite friend of mine, Daphne, Courtney and I were invited to a BBQ contest today at Cahaba Brewing Company. I had not been to this brewery yet, but it has been on my list for a while.
I'm now realizing how much I love to check out these breweries and other businesses when there are events and happening occurring. This way you not only get to experience the business, but also get to experience how the staff handles events and happenings.
Located in one of the many small suburbs of Birmingham, Avondale. Cahaba Brewing is hidden away, if you are not looking for it you might not be able to find it.
This brewery definitely has stood out above others in my opinion. I know everyone always raves about Avondale Brewing, another one I need to check out one of these days, but Cahaba, really impressed me.
It is a HUGE warehouse. The inside is vast and there is a lot of seating. High top tables and low ones too. You get a barn yard feel to this place. I am not sure it that was just me or not. There are activities for children as well as for adults. So you are free to bring the kiddos with you if you plan on stopping in. Lots of board games and skee ball too.
Their menu has a little bit for every type of drinker. Lights, lagers, sours, stouts and more. I am much more of a light beer/sour gal myself. Today the only sour on the menu was their South Beach Sour. It was delicious. Light and earthy, just the way I like it.
The main reason I say that this brewery stands tall above the rest is because not only do they have activities for adults and children, they also take care of their female customers in a way that no other breweries in town do. I had to go to the bathroom while here today. When I walked into the stall I saw a cup holder for my beer. This simple addition is an amazing sight to see.
In this day of age, you can never be too careful. I hear way too many stories about women being followed home, or drugged at bars. But by adding a cup holder into the bathroom, now women can bring their cups with them and not have to fear someone dropping something into their cup when they get up to use the bathroom. Instead they can bring their drink with them.
I am so happy there are breweries the bars out there that really do care about their customers safety. So for any women who might be reading this review right now and pondering if going out for a night on the town with the girls, Cahaba Brewing will definitely be a safe place for you to go.
Overall, the warehouse is kept very clean. The people are very kind and helpful. The beer and other beverages are good and you can also have the option of bringing the party home with you as they have a great to go cooler near the front of the brewery. If I could give this establishment more than five stars I totally would. Bravo!
