Birmingham’s craft beer industry continues to expand and mature, producing memorable brews of many varieties. Men’s Journal has taken notice, naming Good People Brewing’s Snake Handler among its 101 Best Beers in America. Considering that over the past five years the number of craft breweries in the country has more than doubled to about 3,500, this is quite the accomplishment. Good People opened in 2006 and paved the way for other crafters to open shops 
in Birmingham. Their beers include five year-round brews, four seasonal beers and an occasional one-off. Men’s Journal says of Snake Handler: “…this immense, intense 9.4 percent beauty is a citrus-punch in the face that finishes with a shockingly silky maltiness.” Tours are available. www.goodpeoplebrewing.com
