Review:
Red Clay Brewing Company is an Opelika brewery opened by Alabama natives Kerry McGinnis, John Corbin, and Stephen Harle. The brewery derives its name from the region’s rich natural red clay and takes its inspiration for its beers from local culture and tradition. Its Big Swamp Oatmeal Stout is a reference to the city’s indigenous Muskogee name, while its Hop Jubilee Imperial IPA draws upon the local tradition of late-night jubilees at Mobile Bay. Other year-round brews include the brewery’s Hay Shed Saison, Half Time Hefeweizen, Southern Bumpkin Sweet Potato Brown Ale, Long Pine Pale Ale, and Lakeside Cider. Personal and large pizzas are also served at the brewery’s taproom, which is open to the public Tuesdays through Saturdays and may be rented for private special events. For adventurous visitors, a spicy pizza challenge dares diners to down the spiciest pizza the brewery’s kitchen can concoct in exchange for a free pizza and pint.
