About Goat Island Brewing
Goat Island Brewing is a production brewery and taproom on John Cooper Drive SE in Cullman. This is the Original, one of two Cullman taprooms, with a big stage for live local music. The other, The Goat at Cotton Creek, is a small-batch pilot brewery downtown.
Richter's Pilsner is a crisp German-style pilsner built on a historic Cullman beer recipe. The lineup also includes Goatopia IPA, Blood Orange Berliner Weisse, Big Bridge IPA and Duck River Dunkel.
The brewery says Duck River Dunkel won a silver medal at the 2018 Great American Beer Festival. It also says Richter's Pilsner is a two-time gold medalist at the Alabama Craft Beer Championship.
Families are welcome, and so are well-behaved, leashed dogs. There is no restaurant on site, but food trucks visit regularly and you can bring your own food or order delivery.

Before you visit Goat Island
Expect a production brewery with a big stage, not a quiet corner pub. Kids and leashed dogs are welcome. There is no restaurant on site, so plan around the food trucks or bring your own.
Check goatislandbrewing.com before you go. The beers page shows the current taproom menu, and the events page lists live music, food trucks and festivals. The Original is closed on Mondays.
Beverage Warehouse in Arab is 21.5 miles away, and Tin Town Brewing Company in Oneonta is 23.9 miles away. Both are a drive, but either makes a good second stop on a day out.
