Description
Here at Blue Pants we like to make unreasonably good beer. Our brewery is where the magic happens, where Hops, Barley, Water, and Yeast come together to make great craft beer. That’s really all you need. Our brewers started out as homebrewers, playing with ingredients, and learning which tastes we love. We use our skills and creativity to create unique, or just exemplary beers, that may not fit any particular style category but are always unreasonably good. Or really, as we say in the brewery, we make unreasonably good wort and let the yeast do the rest.

Visit the tap room for the opportunity to try our largest selection of beers. It’s a constantly rotating lineup on some of the taps, featuring unique beers only found in the tap room. On other taps you will find our mainstays and seasonals straight from the source. We open a cask, serve through a randall, or do SMASH beers now and then for some unique experiences only available at the brewery. The taproom began with approximately 1200 feet of indoor space and now also features a massive 4000 square foot patio (including an outdoor stage).
The taproom is open seven nights a week, and our beers are available on tap in bars and packaged on shelves throughout the region. Wherever you are in the southeast, we hope you’ll enjoy some unreasonably good beer with us.

Admin Note: Blue Pants Brewery briefly announced their closing of their physical brewery and taproom in August 2019, but then in October 2019 an announcement that they would continue the brand as a client brewer with the beers being brewed at Lazy Magnolia going forward.

Bottle courtesy of BeerandBlues2, thanks! Hazy pale yellow color, thick white head, solid lacing. Aroma of fruity sweet hay and white pepper. Taste is sweet and bright grass, lemongrass, bitter finish. Much more hoppy than your average tripel, which in my book makes it more interesting than others in the style. Very nice.

Bomber. A huge burst of carbonation exited the bottle upon opening, and after dumping half the beer down the drain to try to alleviate the gushing (unsuccessful) I got a glass of 100% head. Fizzy, rocky, tan. The beer itself is dark brown and murky. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, nutty notes, herbal hops, faint green apple. The taste is chocolate, roasted malts, herbal hops, bitter finish. Medium bodied, slight lingering bitterness. All in all, quite an adventure.

Bomber courtesy of Suttree. Thanks! Pours a hazy red-amber color with a large fizzy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toffee malts with green apple and a faint bit of band-aid. The taste is strong nail polish. Faint toffee and nuttiness but most a very harsh chemical note. Thin-medium bodied. Sadly. this is majorly off. Probably more off than any beer I’ve ever encountered. Completely undrinkable and an instant drain pour.

22 ounce bottle courtesy of Suttree. Thanks! Pours a murky orange color with a medium sized frothy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of stone fruits, caramel, herbal hops, spice, bready malts. The taste is toasted malts, herbal hops, caramel, faint fruits, spice and a faint bit of butterscotch and salt. Medium bodied, slight heat. Not bad, but a bit sweet and a little disjointed.

Bomber courtesy of Suttree. Thanks! Pours a dark brown color with a faint attempt at a head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, slight ash and mild roast. The taste is chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, a mild bitter roast finish. Thin-medium bodied. The taste is very reminiscent of bitter chocolate and it’s growing on me as I drink it.

Bottle courtesy of Brentfeesh. Nutty caramel malt aroma. Gusher - I’ve only had one other Yellowhammer beer and it was a memorable gusher too. Hazy brown with a large beige head. Extremely sweet woody caramel malt flavor. Medium body, very-very active (overly so) carbonation. In fact, it was so highly carbonated it interfered with the flavor.

Tap. Pours hazy golden amber, small white head, good lacing. Aroma of citrus, lager yeast, grain. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, citrus finish. Light body, silky mouthfeel. I am not usually a huge fan of the Common style, but this was quite nice.

Bottle. Tart sweet berry, wheat, and a touch of vanilla aroma. Hazy pink tinged straw color with a large creamy white head. Subtle earthy strawberry, tart, wheaty, slightly funky yeast flavor, and the barest hint of bitterness in the finish. Light to medium crisp body, high carbonation. Not a typical saison, but quite nice.

On tap at Mellow Mushroom. Pours light yellow with very little head. The aroma is citrus, wheat, faint berries, and white sugar. The flavor is very sweet and citrusy, with a very mild bitterness toward the finish. The palate is light, acidic, and clean. Overall, this is a good fruit beer (if you like that sort of thing). The fruit is subdued, and is on the base of a good wheat ale.
