    Rec water seltzer
    Lucy T.

    I've been here so many times over the years. Although I still am not a beer drinker, their menu now includes seltzers and a lot of pretty mocktails that look delicious. I had the Rec Water seltzer the last time I came here. They also have lots of fun events like trivia and game nights now, and have a lot of food trucks now too.

    It's a nice local brewery. Have a open concept indoor space and nice patio/deck feel outdoor space. They have food provided on site from vendors and food trucks. Which are great as well. Have a standard set of beers on tap and have a seasonal and boutique/craft styles of short runs. Parking is easy. It's a nice change from the corporate feel craft breweries

    This was my first time visiting Trim Tab Brewing. My reason for coming is to attend a wrestling event called Retinal Pro Wrestling. This is a nice place to come meet up with friends on a Friday night and socialize while also attending some of the events this brewery offers. I was there ahead of schedule so I just got myself a beer. One of the employee let me try a sample before I decided on the beer I liked. She was nice enough to do that because I'm not much of a beer drinker and I wasn't sure what to order. I do like the ambiance of the business that has a cool vibe and is open to everyone.

    Finally made it to this spot thanks to Sloss Tech. Really cool venue with plenty of room to hang out, both inside and out. Loved the live music and all the beer options. If you're into sours, definitely try the Peach Ring Beer it's surprisingly good!

    The vibe here sucks. The decor is bare and lame, and God forbid you show up when there aren't any food trucks. The decorations for Mardi Gras are kind of half-assed. Beer selection isn't my favorite either, but I could see how other people would like it. It's crazy to me that this place has been around so long. It looks like some hipster took his stuff out of his mom's basement to start a brewery like a month ago.

    I showed up to Trim Tab right as they were closing. They let me in, gave me a beer, and gave me some great recommendations for other places to visit and things to do. And the beer was delicious! I didn't get a chance to go back the next day but if I'm ever back in Birmingham, Trim Tab will absolutely be a stop.

    Great beer selection and seating in or outdoors. Casual spot with a lot of fun events for Bham residents! They have a limited food menu, but looked great on their Instagram page. Merch for sale inside. Dog friendly is always a plus. Spacious and great place to come with friends or alone for a beer and snacks. Can't wait to come back

    If you are looking for happening place, Trim Tab is the place to be. Also, they have fun events. I visited today because of their Valentine's Flower Bar. I saw it advertised and had to go. I was able to pick my stems and make a bouquet The other day, we attended the Dark Side small batch brew event. It was great. A lot of friends joined us. Perfect event on a cold rainy afternoon!!

    Trim tab is my probably favorite brewery in Birmingham! They always have rotating taps and small batch releases very often. The small batch releases are always very fun and unique beers and bring a good crowd for people to try them out because they are funky. They recently redid part of the outside and added coverage on the patio and it has made the area even better. I really like that they also hang local art for sale inside the brewery tasting room. Such a relaxed vibe and it is also dog and family friendly! They host a bunch of events as well as weekly trivia so there's always something going on, which is super fun! My two favorite beers are the paradise now and the cloud architecture.

    Chicken Nachos
    Sandy D.

    Yum!! Ok first of all... they seriously do not even need my endorsement because they are freaking rocking it!! The 006 beer is delish and the vibe is so chill!! Dogs are welcome too!! We had something to nibble on from "Off Beat' Cafè. The Chicken Nachos were seriously the best I have ever had and I am not saying that cause I am 3 beers deep, they are delish!! Please, please give Trim Tab a try and see for yourself!!!

    A brewery definitely worth visiting in Birmingham. Good service, great taproom and quality beers. Also loved their outdoor seating area. Great stop on my way through Alabama!

    This local craft brewery has a lot of personality. It has a fantastic outdoor space that is great for hanging out with friends (and pups). The weather was not ideal on our visit. It was a Friday night and it was quite chilly. Trim Tab provides fire pits and fire wood to gather round, and nothing beats an open fire on a fall evening. The beer was great, and service was good. There was a short line that seem to move relatively fast. I'm finding the craft brewery scene in Birmingham is second to none, and Trim Tab is a must stop.

    Paradise Now
    Kelsey C.

    This place is always a good time! I have visited so many times for a casual night out, before Slicefest, and most recently for a cozy night by one of the many fire pits outside. The staff is always amazing and willing to answer any questions you have while letting you sample before you make your decision. Normally, I'm not a fan of sours but the Paradise Now is my favorite thing to get here. The atmosphere is very inviting and you are sure to make a friend or two while visiting.

    TTB has a unique beer offerings with a few surprises on the menu. The ambiance is unique and a little odd at times but that makes it quaint.

    Ask the Community - Trim Tab Brewing

    What kind of food do they serve here?

    The bar itself does not serve food, but they usually have rotating food trucks. The one that has been there the most often recently is Uncle G's Pizza. You can also bring your own food to eat there.

    Is Trim Tab handicap/ wheelchair accessible?

    Hey there! The answer to.your question is yes! Trim Tab is handicap accessible! The front entrance is paved and maybe easier to enter vs the back (where most park) because of the gravel however, there's plenty of room to maneuver within the venue.…

Back Forty is huge-with plenty of seating to accommodate large crowds, couples or even families with little ones. There's plenty of big screens to watch the games on, and I would really love to come back during football season to do just that. I ordered their infamous Back 40 cheeseburger on this visit. While it wasn't my favorite, for a brewery it was definitely above average. It was juicy, made to order and fresh. I didn't care for the sauce nor the stringy onions so I would order it plain next time or try something else on the menu. The shoestring fries were well seasoned with something like garlic parmesan. They were my delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful as we placed our orders. This is a cool spot to hang with your friends, drink, eat and watch some sports or watch the trains go by. I enjoyed my visit and I'm looking forward to coming back.

People often host their own little parties and events at the picnic tables here. I came on a Sunday afternoon, and it seemed like a lot of families came for lunch and to hang out after church. The food here is certainly impressive food for a bar to me. I love the wood fired pizzas. I will say, I think the size is a bit awkward. They're a little too big to be a single serving, and a little too small to be for two people. The beer is all good. Service at the bar always friendly. The fries here are some of my favorite in town. Shoestring.

It has everything you want in a brewery; really good beer, solid food menu, fun vibe and lots to do. The beer: The most important part. I was surprised their beer was as good as it was because their signature is a basic blonde ale. Cahaba has beers that are anything but basic. I got a flight with an African Saison, a Southern Feistbeer, River Haze (hazy IPA) and a blood orange blonde. Everything was delicious. The space is large with lots of picnic tables inside a climate-controlled warehouse, a bunch of video games, pinball machines and skeeball. They distill their own spirits as well and had a cocktail menu featuring those spirits. The full-time food truck outside had a solid looking menu. Sadly, I had eaten before I came because their smashburger and wings looked amazing at the table next to me.
