The servers behind the bar are so friendly and they remember your name! They have games and then very comfortable seating. You can see the brewery from where you're seated. There's also outside seating and I think they have a yoga class. The Birmingham language club meets there on Thursdays, see meet up app. They are so welcoming to us! The selection of beer is good too. This is also a good place to watch soccer games. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at this establishment before a recent Barons game. We loved the environment and the option for both indoor and outdoor seating. It was also great to see how accommodating the establishment are to dog lovers by having treats available. The entry process was very organized with the ID checks and hand stamping, and the service was incredibly quick; while we were waiting in line, another register immediately opened to take our order. The cashier was very knowledgeable and answered our questions with confidence. We were thoroughly pleased with our drinks and the excellent service. We plan to return soon and look forward to our next visit. read more

I don't visit GP enough. I decided to stop by on a Saturday afternoon just to hang out for a bit. To my surprise, it wasn't crowded at all. The staff assisted me right away with my drink order. I had their juicy theory which is a hazy ipa and I also had their hoppy lager which is an easy drinking lager. I enjoyed both of my selections. I plan to return sooner to try the on site food truck - the food smelled amazing!!!! read more

Good drinks, can get busy inside with no seating but the outdoor area and food truck are nice. Good place to go for drinks before a baseball game! read more

Good People Brewing - Frozen margarita - Pubs Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

It's been a few years since I visited and my impression of the place has not changed - a great local brewery brewing outstanding craft beer. And something I learned about while imbibing on the bar, Good People's has been hugely successful and has acquired a few other breweries in the local area...which means some are available on tap. One of my favorite brew is the IPA and it's available at local establishments and at COSTCO too! Needless to say, I picked up two cases to take home with me to imbibe on my favorite IPA! read more

I always love a brewery that has margarita slushies or cider for those of us who don't drink beer. There is a ton of seating in front and on the side as well as indoor. They also have a big area to play corn hole & other games. read more

If you're looking for a good drink before hitting the town or just want a chill spot to enjoy a beer, check out Good People. It's right in the heart of downtown, so super easy to find. They serve the best alcoholic slushies ever, hands down. There's usually a food truck outside and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The parking is the only downfall, but honestly, it's worth the walk. Solid spot to kick back read more

A lovely gem of a brewery in Downtown Birmingham. Dog-friendly with a good mix of brews on tap, a casual, low-key spot to enjoy a brew or two. Servers were very kind and helped us navigate their tap list as we were unfamiliar with the local brews. We got a good mix of beers in our flight and enjoyed being around some Good People in Alabama! read more

Racist and visibly inconsistent about their policies. Terrible, disgusting, and disappointing. Will never return.

Super friendly staff and great beer options. There is plenty of room for larger groups

Man, I absolutely loved Good People. Everything about my experience here was five stars. Becca pointed me in the right direction of exactly what I wanted. She was super knowledgeable and friendly. I loved chatting with her. The space is awesome! I sat indoors but the outdoor space is beautiful. It would be perfect for big groups or a great spot to enjoy a beer and sunlight. Lastly, the beer was great. I had a few different IPA's and loved them all. Snake Handler is the main attraction, in my opinion. I'm an IPA guy but the beer menu is diverse with something for everyone. I cannot recommend this enough. Absolutely awesome. read more

Super fun atmosphere. Lots of beers to choose from. Plenty of shade when needed. Only downside was that the ink they used to stamp your hand after checking your ID took nearly a week to get off. read more

Great space, huge indoor and outdoor seating areas with plenty of room to spread out. I didnt get a chance to try any of the food but the beer was really good, my favorite was the triple IPA it was super tasty. Service was great as well, really friendly, quick, and was able to give some good suggestions. Right by railroad park and the baseball stadium so very nice if you are in the area. read more

Good people probably has my favorite atmosphere of the breweries in Birmingham. It is so fun to come before or after a Birmingham Baron's game, but it is also perfect on a warm summer night and all of the lights are lit up. The addition of the faux grass is perfect and it makes it very kid friendly. Not to mention HotBox Food Truck is there permanently and the food is so amazingly good. The burger you cannot go wrong with and the lemongrass fried chicken is out of this world. On a summer day cool off with a crisp beer and the soba noodle salad! read more

Popped in for a quick flight of beer at good people after walking around railroad park and I'm glad we did! The bartenders were attentive and gave great suggestions as to what to try. The beer itself was cold and very tasty. I recommend trying their sour beer if you like almond and cherry flavor. It wasn't overtly sweet and had a great tartness to it. The brewery is also dog friendly, has a food truck, and outdoor seating. I would not mind stopping by again next time I'm in Birmingham. Cheers! read more

Good People Brewing - PhantaSmash - Pubs Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

This is one of my regular stops when I visit Birmingham. We included in our Brewery Crawl. It's right across from the baseball stadium. Another bonus, Tortugas opened a second location right next door. As to GP, it's wide open inside with plenty of cozy sitting areas. Before COVID, they had bar seating too but that is gone now - I assume a tempt thing. Outside, there are many picnic tables and some nice lighting. Suggest sitting outside if the weather dictates. The bartenders are always pleasant and willing to help with suggestions / tastings. They have a more permanent food truck now - maybe run by them? It's right out front. Their Brussels Sprouts are legendary!! I usually get their Brown Ale. It's one of my favorites. They also had a blueberry type beer on my last visit that I tried. A little out of my comfort zone but it was delicious. When in Birmingham, you must visit Good People. read more

I don't drink beer, but this is always a fun place to come with friends! They have both an outdoor and indoor area. They host fun events from time to time here too. The comedy shows are pretty nice. Good People is also walking distance from Region's field so it's a great place to come before or after the Baron's games. read more

Met our friends from the Midwest for drinks. Place was quiet and super clean. I do nit care for pale ales, so I ordered the vodka and cranberry juice. Service was great. We had a great visit before we headed out to dinner. Will come back again. Certainly us an ideal place to meet larger groups of people. Only wish they had paper towels and not hand blowers in the bathroom. read more

Always a great time. El Gordo day is great.

THE PLACE TO GO FOR BEER IN BIRMINGHAM! My family and I are from Birmingham and we recently stopped by the week of 4th of July, and we just reminisced about all the great memories spent at this place. This is the place you go to experience a great time with friends, family, and even bring along the furry four legged friends! Good People may not serve food, but there are always food trucks or other food options available! And the name is very fitting b/c I'm always greeted with a smile, and the best service even if I'm struggling with what to order! There's been times where Good People has been slammed, but the bartender will still manage to offer suggestions and samples so that I'm satisfied with whatever beer I select! read more

This is a very cool spot and the location is priceless. This was my first time here and it was nice I must say. It's located in large warehouse and the old docking bay they turned into a patio which is where I sat and enjoyed my IPA beer. It's right across the street from the Barons baseball stadium and next door to a Chicago pizza joint that frequented recently. They're supposed to do a complete redevelopment of the area but I haven't seen much of anything as of yet but can't wait to see how everything turns out. read more

Great ambiance; indoor and outdoor. Wide selection of brews. Food truck outside with good food.

Tasty suds. We had the idea to come to Birmingham for a minor league baseball game. After getting to town I had asked a few locals what the best spot was for pre-game drinks and everyone said "Good People Brewing". I asked one guy i it better to stop in before or after the game and he promptly replied, "Both!" So a few hours later got out of our Uber a couple blocks away(the street right by the brewery-stadium are blocked off)and walked down to the spot. It's a nice place. It had that usual high ceilings and adult games of most breweries. It also had the long beer bar to walk up to. I asked for their Pilsner, and he recommended a tasty one for me. We really appreciated the interior but saw that there was a outside seating area in the front, and a even better one on the side of the building so we went out there. It was perfect, as right across the street was the stadium and we could watch everyone lining up to go in. It was honestly about as perfect as you could ask: beer baseball and chilling in the perfect spot. You can't beat it. read more

Great beers and great vibes. Their outdoor seating is lovely- right across from the ball park and Railroad park. Parking can be tricky though, especially when the Barons are playing (would not suggest coming by car when there's a game). There's even a fusion food truck on the premise and if you want pizza (Tortuga's), you can order and they'll even deliver to you! read more

Great atmosphere. Large outdoor areas. Nice staff. Clean and neat. Oh and the beers were delicious.

Where do I begin with Good People? Their location is impeccable, being right across from Regions Field and the park. Their taproom is large and inviting, as is the porch and courtyard. Even if you don't drink or like beer this is a great place to meet friends and enjoy company. What continues to bring me back is their selection of beers! Since they opened in 2008, claiming to be the original craft brewery in the state, they have steadily introduced regular drinks and seasonal favorites. I have enjoyed and would get again almost every beer that I have tried here. Their standard IPA is very solid, but I'd be remiss if I failed to mention the snake handler or hitchhiker IPAs. I am glad they have brought back the coffee oatmeal stout, but be on the lookout for the chocolate peanut better stout (taproom only according to their website). And I like what they are doing with the Funk Farm beers, especially the cherry almond sour, which pours and tastes like wine (probably what Lloyd was referring to in "Dumb and Dumber"). Needless to say, this is my personal favorite brewery! See the standard for Alabama brewing yourself! read more

4 is an overall experience score. And should be a 4.25 which is great with room for improvement. 3 = Ambience Grown-up family struggling to leave college norms is the vibe. Think of that what you will. Lots of seating when warm. But not yet ready for cooler weather. When warm weather is going, this score will increase 4.75 = sampled beer. I'm not an expert in beer but I have experience and opinions. Tasted the Brown(a), Imperial Honey Head(b) and (c) Oktoberfest. a: nice intro beer middle of the road yet tasty. Similar to a mature Sam Adams. Leaving with a growler because I like having a great option after work. b: a good tart with hoppy feel. More lemon than one would expect on a high abv drink. Middle of Nov this taste great but out of season. If this is still available in early March.. perfect! (c) good way to end my night but I like spicy fall feelings. But not a take home blend read more

While visiting Birmingham, decided to stop in at this brewery. It was a good choice, as this brewery was still somewhat new, but pretty good! They had a variety of beer options available. Patio seating outside was also a great perk on days with nice weather! The location of the brewery was really good! It's located right downtown Birmingham, across the street from the baseball field and a huge park. There was plenty of parking in the area, but Uber and scooters are also a great option if available. read more

Good People was kind enough to open up their doors earlier than normal on a Sunday AM to let a local ManUtd supporters group watch the EFL Carabao Cup final on 2/26. I was heading home through Birmingham and happened to catch up with the group here. Wonderful ambience and a wide variety on their menu would make any soccer fan's day. Especially wonderful nod to the dog-friendly additions, including water bowls and treats available on the bar for the furry friends who make their way in. Try the Muchacho; it's better than Modelo. Awesome spot! read more

I live right next to Good People Brewing but haven't had the chance ever to visit. However, I dropped in quickly recently and got the Cherry Almond Sour ($7) and food from the food truck, Hot Box, right next to it (Fried chicken- $16; pretzel bites and beer cheese- $11). I am not a fan of beer (so take this part with a grain of salt), but the Cherry Almond Sour was nice (although not much "cherry") with a strong taste of the grains. The fried chicken was nice and crispy and came with fries that were seasoned well. The sauce with the chicken added a nice creamy flavor with a small spice kick. The pretzel bites were nice and chewy with a good subtle beer cheese flavor. Overall, I loved the vibes (a nice place to talk with friends), and the food complemented it. read more
