USA, AL: Cahaba Brewing Co. one step closer to opening new location in Birmingham

Birmingham's Cahaba Brewing Co. is one step closer to opening its new location, Birmingham Business Journal reported on December 29.

The Magic City brewery received its certificate of occupancy from the city council earlier this month, and will open within the first month of 2016 at building C of the Continental Gin campus at 4500 Fifth Ave. S.

“While it will open after Christmas, thanks to the awesome job of our partners, the new location feels like a gift waiting under the tree,” said Eric Meyer, head brewer and partner. “Once we receive our city, state and federal licenses, the taproom will be open to the public.”

Cahaba plans to host a grand opening celebration in the spring.

“One of my favorite things about our current taproom is that it feels like you’re hanging out in your buddy’s garage. People stop by after work or hang out on the weekends and feel comfortable bringing their families,” Meyer said.

Meyer said it was important to maintain consistency at the new location, and customers will notice similarities with the old location in the concrete countertops and elements of wood, metal and brick.

Rives Construction Company served as the general contractor on the project and Williams Blackstock Architects served as the architect.

BDI Electrical Contractors, RJ Mechanical, Inc., Recreated Cabinets, C & H Constructors, Inc., and Bessmer Glass also served as subcontractors.
