Ghost Train Brewing Company
Birmingham, Alabama, USA · Est. 2016
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Taylor DeBoer and Patrick Small held their grand opening at 2616 Third Avenue South on 22 October 2016, and later moved to 3501 First Avenue South. Ghost Train closed temporarily in July 2024 and was then listed among Birmingham-metro brewery closures that September — a temporary closure that turned out not to be, which the archive records as it actually happened rather than tidying into one clean date. The Third Avenue room it started in did not stay empty: Cahaba followed, and then Uproot in 2023.
