Review:

TrimTab Brewing Company was the vision of founder Harris Stewart, a homebrewer and University of Alabama law student who was inspired to open a brewery based off of the idea of the ship and aircraft trimtab component, popularized as a metaphor for a small but vital source of drive and engineering by 20th-century visionary Buckminster Fuller. The brewery’s first beer, its Pillar to Post Rye Brown, was originally offered in 2014. Since then, its lineup has grown to encompass three year-round offerings, including its flagship TrimTab IPA and its Paradise Now Raspberry Berliner Weisse, the 2017 Great American Beer Festival bronze medal winner within the fruited wheat category. Seasonal offerings include the brewery’s Rescue Ship Pale Ale, Imperial City Olde Ale, and Bankston 88 Belgian Wheat Pale Ale. Periodic DJ nights and special events are offered at the brewery, including trivia nights and food truck pop-ups.
