Beacon Brewing Co. was established in 2018 in the Historic Hillside area of LaGrange, Georgia. The founder selected this area due to its rich history and ties to his family. Like many areas in the south, Hillside once flourished because of a booming textile industry that supported and employed many citizens in the community. Several of the mills were owned and operated by the founder’s family. Each month they distributed a newsletter called The Beacon. The newsletter was created for the mill’s employees and drives the creative and nostalgic atmosphere of the brewery.
Beacon Brewing Co. serves as a beacon of restoration for all mill villages as it aims to revive what was once a lively area. Beacon has an extraordinary story and aims to create beers that are just as extraordinary.
Beacon’s indoor and outdoor spaces are ideal for sipping excellent beer and consuming salacious fare you certainly won’t find anywhere else. In the form of drinks, this popular brewpub offers an eclectic variety of both innovative and traditional beers as well as a selection of wine and liquor. From crisp lagers and citrusy IPAs to complex saisons and quenching sours, you’re sure to find a beer you’ll enjoy. It’s also well-known for its menu of Southern-infused Asian cuisine that features rice bowls, burgers, tacos and—last but not least— Asian chicken sammies. Looking for a more upscale dining experience? Pop around the corner to Tutto Pepe, their sister restaurant, where you can enjoy fine Italian cuisine while savoring their flagship Italian Pilsner from a Lukr sidepull faucet.
At Beacon, supporting local is a way of life. Through beer sales, Beacon aids local nonprofits such as DASH for LaGrange, Junior Service League of LaGrange, and Sweetland Amphitheatre. They also help support local farmers by primarily using malt from Riverbend Malthouse, a maltster that sources grain exclusively from the Southeastern US.
