The Cahaba Brewing Company is a microbrewery located at 2616 3rd Avenue South. It was founded in 2011 by brewers Taylor DeBoer, Andy Gwaltney and Eric Meyer. Andrew Pharo and Burton Dunn joined the company soon later.
The company began commercial production and opened to the public in 2012. The tap room, located in a former furniture showroom, features Skee-Ball tables and other entertainments. The brewery operates four fermenters and other equipment formerly used by Straight to Ale in Huntsville.
The brewery typically donates about 10% of its product to community groups and fund-raisers.
In 2015 the company leased 51,000 square feet of space in the Continental Gin Building on 5th Avenue South. It plans to invest $2 million in moving and expanding its brewery and tap room and adding a canning line before the end of the year, increasing its production capacity eight-fold and leaving around 30,000 square feet of space to sub-lease to compatible businesses such as a retailer or restaurant. Williams-Blackstock Architects designed the renovations, and Rives Construction carried out the work.
