First City Brewing

First City Brewing is a small Savannah microbrewery in the Thomas Square neighborhood, operating from roughly 1,400 square feet in a mixed-use building. The brewery was created by Lindsay and E.J. McLean, whose years of visiting breweries in the United States and abroad helped shape their approach to the taproom experience. Rather than emphasizing a large production operation, First City is positioned as a neighborhood-focused place to drink beer and spend time with other locals and visitors. Its stated mission also includes supporting local partners and community causes. The taproom is both kid-friendly and dog-friendly, making it a practical option for groups and families exploring Savannah outside the downtown historic district.
