Red Clay Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom located in downtown Opelika with roots firmly rooted in the South as the founders of the company were 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. 

Their Cherry Cider, Murder Creek, won the bronze medal in the Great American Cider competition. With over 150 entries across the U.S. Red Clay is proud to have taken 3rd place. Congratulations Red Clay!
