You could argue that beer and music go together better than any other beer pairing. Bold words indeed when you consider all the combinations of beer and food<\/a>, beer and lawn games, beer and \u2026 everything.<\/p>\n

But when we acknowledge that beer has been part of celebrations for thousands of years — from ancient warriors singing and sloshing mead to providing liquid courage for modern-day wannabe karaoke stars — breweries and music is match made in beer heaven.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve rounded up 12 brewery music venues to visit in the South. These\u00a0Southern breweries<\/a>\u00a0have made music a part of their lifeblood.<\/p>\n

Highland Brewing Company | Asheville, NC<\/h2>\n

Twenty-three years ago, Highland<\/a> set the tone for Asheville\u2019s craft beer scene<\/a> to be forever linked to the area\u2019s deep musical roots.<\/p>\n

As the city\u2019s first brewery to open since Prohibition, the decision to include an indoor stage in their tasting room has served them so well that they later built an outdoor stage surrounded by shipping container bars and restrooms that they call The Meadow.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we developed our Tasting Room, it seemed only natural to blend our craft with the craft of our talented local musicians,\u201d explains marketing manager Molly McQuillan. \u201cWe now work with local, regional, and nationally recognized artists, and have music at least four nights per week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hardywood Park Craft Brewery | Richmond, VA<\/h2>\n

Hardywood Park Craft Brewery\u00a0regularly offers live music<\/a> from both their taproom stage and new outdoor stage. The Richmond brewery also hosts many music events including Bluegrass Festival, Heart & Soul Brew Fest and The Shape of Sound\u2019s epic drum circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to supporting our community and love to show that by giving local creatives and original artists a stage,\u201d marketing manager Matt Shofner tells CraftBeer.com. \u201cAs we feature all genres of sounds \u2014bluegrass, djs spinning vinyl, metal, hip hop and more — music helps us reach and attract wider audiences to the brewery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quest Brewing Co. | Greenville, SC<\/h2>\n

Quest features an outdoor stage<\/a> and invites folks to bring blankets (and kids!) to enjoy live music in their backyard. A food truck typically accompanies their Thursday Night Concert Series, and they host a chili cook-off every January paired with a concert. Live music also happens on many Fridays, too.<\/p>\n

Motorworks Brewing | Bradenton, FL<\/h2>\n

What do you do when you have the largest beer garden in the state of Florida? Build an outdoor stage and feature live music nearly every day of the week, of course.<\/p>\n

Motorworks doesn\u2019t stop with just tunes; the beer garden also has a handful of cornhole boards, a large projector screen, and a massive 150-year-old oak tree wrapped in lights. Talk about good times!<\/p>\n

AquaBrew\u00a0| San Marcos, TX<\/h2>\n

Music is a big deal at AquaBrew<\/a>. A large \u201cLive Music\u201d sign hangs above the door, and their tagline reads, \u201cAquaBrew stimulates all the senses. Artisanal Cuisine. Craft Beer. Community Feel. Live Music. San Marcos Roots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owner Carlos Russo aims to make AquaBrew THE live music venue of downtown and has his sights on booking big names as well as supporting local artists.<\/p>\n

Avondale Brewing Co. | Birmingham, AL<\/h2>\n

Avondale\u2019s mission<\/a> from the start was to help revitalize Birmingham\u2019s blighted Avondale neighborhood in part by tapping into its rich, 125-year history. Their efforts have paid off as Thrillist<\/a> dubbed Avondale \u201cBirmingham\u2019s hippest neighborhood\u201d in 2015, the same year the brewery opened its doors.<\/p>\n

Since then, their permanent outdoor stage has attracted the likes of notable acts such as Shakey Graves, Gov\u2019t Mule and Galactic, and a sold-out stop on J. Cole\u2019s 4 Your Eyez Only World Tour. The inaugural Southword Summer Series kicks off with Chicago\u2019s Sidewalk Chalk June 22.<\/p>\n

Yalobusha Brewing | Water Valley, MS<\/h2>\n

Yoga at breweries has been a trend for a few years now, but YaloBrew takes it to another level<\/a> with their live music, yoga and beer events. Fridays and Saturdays often feature laid-back live shows on a small indoor stage surrounded by sacks of grain and kegs in their historic 1860 brick building.<\/p>\n

Mayday Brewery | Murfreesboro, TN<\/h2>\n

The self-described \u201cfunky, music-centric pit stop<\/a>\u201d boasts both indoor and outdoor stages and their event page promises, \u201cBeer, hugs, and Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll!\u201d These music and beer lovers like to mix it up with events like 80s Prom and Twang \u2018n Roll, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love meeting musicians and have made many lifelong friends with them,\u201d says founder and president Ozzy Nelson. \u201cAt Mayday, we have original bands with some covers thrown in here and there every Friday and Saturday, and we don’t charge a cover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goodwood Brewing Company | Louisville, KY<\/h2>\n

The folks at Goodwood tap into Kentucky\u2019s musical roots<\/a> with their Bluegrass Brunches and Open Bluegrass Jams every Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe music and beer go hand in hand,\u201d says Paige Peterson, marketing and events manager at Goodword. \u201cBeer offers a sensory experience of taste, aroma, mouthfeel and music elevates that experience, engaging another one of your senses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peterson says the brewery\u2019s Kentucky roots also inspire their love of music.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love embracing all things Kentucky. We take cues from America\u2019s Native Spirit: Kentucky Bourbon. All of our beers are barrel-aged or wood-touched and brewed with limestone water, just like bourbon. So embracing Kentucky\u2019s strong ties to Bluegrass just seemed like a natural fit for our taproom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bayou Teche Brewing | Arnaudville, LA<\/h2>\n

Every Saturday at Bayou Teche Brewing<\/a>, you\u2019ll find Louisianans and travelers stomping their feet to some of the best bands in the Acadiana region, heavy on the Creole and Cajun varieties. Saturdays also mean Song Trivia and Social Commentary followed by a DJ playing tunes to close out the night. The outdoor stage area is covered and often mingles with sublime smells cooked up by celebrity guest chefs, like soul food king Chef Big G.<\/p>\n

Blue Ridge Brewery | Blue Ridge, GA<\/h2>\n

This brewery doesn\u2019t mess around with other types of events; instead, beer and music lovers know they can enjoy shows every Friday and Saturday on their new outdoor patio stage. One sign sums up Blue Bridge Brewery’s passion for music: \u201cBrewsician,\u201d with hooks for a hanging chalkboard sign touting the name of the evening\u2019s band.<\/p>\n

One of Vino\u2019s<\/a> claims to fame? Green Day played this joint before hitting the big leagues, and during their March show at Little Rock\u2019s Verizon Arena, the band gave the brewpub a shout out.<\/p>\n

Recently, the crew brought back their Fresh Blood series, serving basically as a tryout for new-to-Vino\u2019s bands on the last Thursday of every month.
