Tally's Take

Why this matters

A winery and nano-brewery on Main Street in Wedowee, opened in 2021 by Scott and Brooke Bayliss. It makes both, which is why it is in this archive at all — the current site advertises brewery growlers to go, and 2026 platform activity confirms house beer still being produced. Randolph County is not where anyone looks for Alabama brewing, which is precisely why the record is worth keeping.
