Mississippi is a state rich in music, food, history, and culture. It’s the birthplace of American blues and home to many talented musicians. Its seafood trail is a culinary treat, and its fertile soil powers the booming agricultural industry that grows some of the country’s best food. With so much flavor, it makes sense that the Magnolia State is home to over 22 local craft breweries, each with its own unique blend and flavors.

Colludium Brewing Company2108 W 4th Street, Hattiesburg, MS 39401

They even encourage outside food, allowing customers to deliver from restaurants and bring in takeout.

Famous house brews include Carbs Against Humanity (a sweet milk stout), RPG IPA (a hazy New England pale ale), Mouse Trappist Ale (a Belgian Dubbel), and the Wheats And Wagers (an American Pale Wheat Beer).
Puff Belly’s Brewery Pizza and Grill3179 Mallett Road Suite 22, D’lberville, MS 39540
(228) 967-7611Don’t let this establishment’s modest storefront fool you. Ignore the little strip mall around it. Just walk inside and prepare yourself for the hospitality and a full bar with all the house-brewed beers and guest taps. Order a Macon Riddle Dance, a milk coffee, and chocolate stout with their House Burger. An eight oz house patty with all the classics; lettuce, tomato, red onion, and a pickle spear.
If you’re in a more adventurous mood, go for the Macon Peanut Butter And Jelly Blonde Ale. A peanut and strawberry flavored brew with a smooth, crisp feel and neat finish. Enjoy this with their famed Skewer Plate, your choice of beef, chicken, lamb, or shrimp chargrilled to perfection and served with hummus, naan bread, and vegetable skewers crammed with red and yellow sweet pepper, mushroom, red onions, and tomato.
