A beer tastes best outside in summer. So enjoy a cold one at these beer gardens in Calhoun County:
Dark Horse Brewing Co.
The beer garden might be bigger than the actual pub. There are lots of tables, a roof in case of rain and it’s dog-friendly. Live music happens every Thursday and Saturday.
Griffin Grill
Griffin has 34 beers on tap, so there are plenty of choices to take outside. This beer garden is surrounded by plants, creating a cool atmosphere for a hot summer day. It’s also known as the paw-tio, serving dog-friendly treats like a charcuterie board with biscuits and peanut butter.
Clara’s on the River
It’s an actual garden, with flowers and a fountain and strings of lights. Order a beer or cocktail from the bar, and pair it with a giant plate of nachos. Music nights are Wednesdays through Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m.
Horrocks and Co.
Buy your gardening supplies while you’re at this beer garden. Horrocks is a grocery store and garden depot. They have a nice set-up, surrounded by pots and plants that are for sale.
Territorial Brewing
Instead of a garden, how about a golf course? Covered seating overlooks the rolling green hills of what was once a golf course. Now it serves disc golf players.
