Elixir Brew Co. – Monroe

Elixir Brew Co.’s Monroe taproom is the brewery’s second location, set in downtown Monroe and connected to the historic Wayfarer Hotel. The locally owned brewery began with a science-minded, experimental approach to brewing, and that focus carries into Monroe through rotating small-batch beers that span styles such as lagers, IPAs, and seasonal releases. The taproom is designed as a social gathering space, with communal seating and a calendar that regularly includes live music, games, and other community events. Its downtown setting also makes it convenient for visitors staying at the neighboring hotel or exploring central Monroe. For beer drinkers interested in Elixir’s more experimental side, the Monroe location is especially notable as a place where small-batch releases are introduced to taproom guests.
