    So we're going to be stopping in Savannah for the night and was wondering about some good local breweries in the area. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Service, Southbound, Coastal Empire, and Moon River (brewpub). Check sites for times.

    I was there last year, and the breweries were still subject to weird laws that limited when they could open. Moon River, as a brewpub, was not subject to these hourly restrictions. If you can only pick one, head to Coastal Empire. Also Crystal Beer Parlor is a nice place with a bunch of good stuff on tap.

    Yep, until September 1st, you still have to do a tour to sample beers and most the breweries in Savannah have very limited hours, typically weekend only.

    The exception is Moon River, which is a brewpub (serves food), so they have normal hours. Their core beers are nothing to phone home about, but they often have some pretty awesome one-offs and specialty beers on tap. They are also located in the historic district, which has no open container laws (you can walk around with alcohol as long as it's in a clear plastic cup).

    Crystal Beer Parlor is right by The Distillery, which is another great place to hit, though lately their taplist has been a bit pedestrian for me. There's also a World of Beer in the historic district, which I know gets cringes from people as it's a cookie-cutter chain, but they typically have lots of local/GA stuff on tap, plus you can download the WoB app and check the taplist before you go.

    Otherwise, lots of random restaurants will have a decent selection on tap, including local and other GA beers. Craft beer is really catching on there, so you'll have no trouble finding some.

    Hope that helps! I go there once a month or more for work and have been just about everywhere - hit me up if you need/want more help! I'm guessing you already visited, but in the future!
