Tally’s Take
A nano-brewpub that opened at 505 13th Street in February 2013, run by Derrell and Janice Winowich, sharing a name with an 1888 brewery in the same town and connected to it in no other way. The Brewers Association logged the public brewpub closing in December 2023 — but 2025 Emerald Coast Beer Festival records list Chattahoochee Brewing Company as a Phenix City nano brewery at a different address, 4115 Sandfort Road, pouring four beers. So the taproom is closed and the company may not be. The archive marks the brewpub closed and holds the production question open rather than resolving it in either direction.

These are different physical places. A brewery moving premises is not the same brewery continuing, and the archive keeps them apart.
