Good People Brewing Company
The Good People Brewing Company is a brewery at 1035-B 20th Street South which began operating in September 2007 in the space formerly used by the Southside Cellar Brewing Company in Pickwick Plaza. It is owned by a partnership headed by brewmaster Jason Malone and has a local distribution deal with Birmingham Beverage Company.
The company's first brew, an English brown ale, made its official debut at the July 4, 2008 celebration organized by the Five Points South Merchants Association. Good People Pale Ale was the first beer to become generally available, starting at the Five Points Grill and the J. Clyde on Cobb Lane. All the company's brews are noted for their bright hop flavor and clean finish.
The brewery's equipment, which still had seven-year-old beer in it when Good People moved into the space, has a capacity of 250-300 kegs per month. Spent grain from the mash is recycled as compost, which feeds hop vines at Jones Valley Urban Farm, which then go back into the beer.
