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.

On tap at the Nook. Pours dark gold with a very thin, bubbly head. The aroma is nectarines, oranges, hay, caramel, and candy sugar. The flavor is cloyingly sweet, with a little bitterness in the finish. The palate is medium, syrupy, and flat. Overall, this beer isn’t bad, but it certainly is not a tripel. It lacks depth, complexity, and proper yeast.

Growler from Bleeng. Pours a dark amber with a very small quickly diminishing light tan head. The aroma is raisin malt and caramel. Thin mouthfeel and a bit flat with a smokey oak finish. A good amber from Blue Pants.

On tap at the Nook. Pours a dark brown with a large tan head. The aroma is smoke, toast, and faint coffee. The flavor is funky and bitter, with a malt backbone through the middle. The palate is thin and watery, with a clean and uneventful finish. Unpleasent flavor and weak body. I am not impressed.

On tap at the Rocket City Brewfest. Pours pitch black with a large tan head. The aroma is strong black coffee, tobacco, and hazelnut. The flavor is a charred bitterness, with limited malt sweetness. The palate is heavy, syrupy, and has a long bitter finish. Overall, a very strong stout, with a lot of flavor, but little balance.

Growler from Liquor Express. Pours a hazy gold with a huge, foamy, white head. The aroma is oranges, apples, wheat and flowers. The flavor is sweet up front, with a little bitterness in the finish. The palate is light, fairly carbonated, very smooth and a little oily. Overall, a very interesting IPA.

Sample at the HYP beer tasting. Pours dark brownish-red with minimal head. The aroma is bread, nuts, apples and light citrus. The flavor is fairly bitter with a good malt backbone, yet not really balanced. The palate is medium with lots of carbonation and a little astringent. Overall, an interesting beer with lots of flavor, but not really going anywhere.
