Coastal Empire Beer Co. is a Savannah brewery whose roots date to 2011, when founder Kevin Haborak began commercially producing a homebrew-inspired American brown ale through a contract brewing arrangement. After several years of growing production, Coastal Empire established its own brewery in Savannah, where it continues to operate a production facility and taproom. Its brewing history includes a broad mix of styles, from hop-forward ales and lighter beers to more distinctive recipes incorporating ingredients such as Georgia pecans, vanilla, pineapple, coconut, and sea salt. Visitors can sample Coastal Empire beers at the brewery’s taproom, which is also pet-friendly, making the location a straightforward option for travelers looking to experience a long-running part of Savannah’s craft beer scene.
