“Located in Homewood, Rabid Brewing is a must see for craft beer lovers. The spacious taproom features ample seating, making it an ideal spot for both small gatherings and larger groups.

Rabid Brewing offers a selection of beers that highlight creativity and quality. I sampled “Azazel,” which boasts a bold hop profile balanced with citrus and pine notes. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone who appreciates a robust IPA. The “Manticore” was equally impressive—smooth and rich, with layers of chocolate and roasted malt that lingered beautifully.

What sets Rabid apart is their commitment to experimentation. The seasonal offerings are a treat, with unique flavors that reflect local ingredients. Don’t miss the “Ecto Gnome” sour—tart and refreshing, it’s perfect to during the fall to take you back to the fleeting summer days of months past.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always eager to share insights about the brewing process and make recommendations.
