Wick's Home Brew

Last night I volunteered at a beer tasting in West Point. Anthony’s Good Food Market hosted the event. This sparked a question of mine. What does the Golden Triangle have to offer when Mississippi Craft Beer Week comes around? With last year as the inaugural year for MS Craft Beer Week, the GTR area has plenty of venues that are more than able to host these events. Who is willing?

Starkville

The Halfway House: This is the newest beer-centered establishment in the area. Opened up with 30-plus taps and have room for expansion. Roomy inside, perfect outdoor patio. The beer menu is always changing, so you can experience something different every time you visit. The only negative is parking.

Rosey Baby Starkville: Rosey Baby has stepped up their game with 50-plus taps installed. Installed a cold room behind the bar to store kegs. It’s a nice setup for your average beer geek. They have hosted beer and wine tastings by certain breweries and wineries. Rosey Baby is doing their best to get into the mindset craft beer enthusiasts. Twitter: @RoseyBaby_stark

Dave’s Darkhorse Tavern: Want a low key environment, good live music and good beer? Dave’s is your place. While their selection isn’t anything like the others. The environment and live music makes this place a worth while host for any craft beer event in the area. They were the first place in the town with Sierra Nevada’s pale ale- even though it was in the bottle, there was not another bar in town where you could find it. 

Ptolemy’s Taproom: When Ptolomey’s came into town it was the premier beer bar in Starkville. Started out with 12 taps and have upgraded to 20 taps. The venue is small, but it is located in the heart of Starkville’s Cotton District meaning you will get the college crowd to come and enjoy a beer with you. Twitter: @ptolemystaproom

Columbus

The Princess Theater: The current owner, who enjoys a good craft beer, has taken on the task to make this bar quaint with plenty of beer selections on tap or in the bottle. Then there is also the theater next door that brings in musical acts. If you ever find yourself in Columbus, go to this historic location and have a beer. You’ll be pleased.

West Point

Anthony’s Good Food Market: Good food and good beer. Average number of taps, but have a great bottle selection. Great space by the bar and the room next to the bar. Firkin anyone? Influenced by the best beer store in the area right down the street, the Smokestack, the writing is on the wall. Good food and good beer equals a good time and great potential.

So with Mississippi Craft Beer week on the radar the Golden Triangle is more than equipped to host any craft beer event. So which brewery or distributor wants to get their name out and promote craft beer? The Golden Triangle is more than ready for the task.
