The Best Haunted Breweries to Visit for a Spooky Drinking Experience

Halloween is just around the corner, and for beer lovers, it’s time to visit some of the best haunted breweries in the country. Drinking a cold one while surrounded by spooky tales and ghostly apparitions is an experience unlike any other. Here are some of the best haunted breweries to visit for a truly spooky drinking experience.

1. Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, Alabama

Sloss Furnaces was once a bustling pig iron-producing factory in the heart of Birmingham. Today, it’s a popular brewery where you can enjoy a wide range of beers while experiencing paranormal activity. Some visitors have claimed to feel strange presences and have even seen ghostly apparitions throughout the brewery.

2. The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado

The Stanley Hotel is famous for being the inspiration behind Stephen King’s horror classic, “The Shining.” This historic hotel offers guests much-needed respite as they traverse the Rocky Mountains, but it’s also home to some friendly, and not-so-friendly, ghosts. You can enjoy a tasty pint of beer while swapping spooky stories with fellow travelers.

3. Catawba Brewing Company in Morganton, North Carolina

Catawba Brewing Company is known for its delicious beer and friendly atmosphere, but it’s also home to a haunted ghost. Visitors have reported seeing a woman in a flowing white dress, thought to be the ghost of a former employee named Lily who died in a tragic accident. Come for the beer, stay for the ghost sightings.

4. The Moon River Brewing Company in Savannah, Georgia

Savannah is known for its hauntingly beautiful architecture, but it’s also home to some seriously haunted breweries. The Moon River Brewing Company is one such establishment, with patrons reporting ghost sightings and strange phenomena throughout the brewery. The building was also the site of a brutal altercatio during the Civil War, which may explain some of the ghostly activity.

5. The Old Jailhouse Brewery in West Baraboo, Wisconsin

The Old Jailhouse Brewery is housed in a former county jail that was operational from the 1800s until the 1960s. Before you get the heebie-jeebies, rest assured that the jail cells have been converted into cozy dining areas. However, the building is said to be haunted by former inmates who met their untimely demise in the jail, making it a must-visit for fans of the paranormal.

Whether you’re a true believer in the paranormal or just looking for a unique drinking experience, visiting a haunted brewery is sure to provide an unforgettable experience. Cheers to both sips and spooks!
