It’s rather daunting how many great beers and solid breweries the South can claim these days. For the Fall issue of Southbound, we present a rundown of travel-worthy sites to give readers an easy jumping-off point for a hoppy exploration of the region’s beer culture, from inspired stouts to easy-drinking IPAs.
Beyond beer, this issue also features the history and hauntings of Jekyll Island, Georgia; fun times at the North Carolina State Fair; recommended vintage shops; a city guide to Biloxi, Mississippi; and much more.
On the cover: Inspired by German brewing traditions, the towering copper kettles at Sierra Nevada's East Coast headquarters have become an iconic element of the Mills River, North Carolina, brewery.
