Savannah River Brewing, Augusta

Brothers Steve and Dave Ellison didn't want opening Savannah River Brewing Company to be a calculated business decision. Instead, when searching for the perfect location, they went off the communal spirit and welcoming feeling that Augusta effused. From there, the 16,000-square-foot brewery, taproom, and beer garden were erected, becoming a centerpiece for socializing within the town. And SRBC's brewing capacity wasn't without the thought either—with the simultaneous fermenting capacity for 13,000 gallons of beer, patrons of the brewery won't be going thirsty anytime soon.

Here's an overview of a few of their flagship beers.:

• No Jacket Required: A Czech–style pilsner, this brew is crisp and slightly bitter, with a spicy influence from the hops, ending with a dry yet refreshing finish (5.0% ABV).
• Savannah River IPA: An intensely-hopped, medium bitter IPA that finishes with a malty balance (6.9% ABV)
• Witty Belgian: A well-carbonated Witbier brewed with coriander, black pepper, and sweet orange peel, this beer has a floral aroma with a flavor that sits somewhere between fruity and spicy (5.5% ABV).
