our roots make us who we are.

Red Clay Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom located in downtown Opelika, Alabama. At Red Clay Brewing Company, we’re proud to be part of the Opelika community and honored to continue the legacy of a brewery that has brought people together for over a decade.

Our mission is simple: brew great beer, serve quality food, and create a welcoming place where friends, families, and neighbors can gather. Whether you’re stopping in for one of our handcrafted beers, sharing a pizza with friends, testing your knowledge at trivia, or enjoying live entertainment, we want every visit to feel like coming home.

As the new owners, we’re committed to preserving what makes Red Clay special while continuing to grow and improve the experience for our guests. We believe the best breweries are built on community, conversation, and a passion for craft.

Thank you for supporting local and being part of the Red Clay Brewing Company family. We look forward to raising a glass with you for many years to come.

Cheers!
