Today is National Beer Day, folks! And those of us fortunate enough to live here in Huntsville are in luck because beer has kind of become our thing over the last several years.

Huntsville’s craft beer scene is top-notch, and if you haven’t visited our breweries, National Beer Day is a great excuse. Here’s a little guide to Huntsville brews:

Located right in the heart of Downtown Huntsville, Green Bus Brewing is a small and quaint spot with a lower profile than some of the larger breweries in the Rocket City. But make no mistake — these folks can brew some darn good beer. My favorite is the Big Spring IPA, but you can celebrate National Beer Day quite well with any of their brews!

A National Beer Day celebration piece would be incomplete if I did not highlight the wonderful beers offered at Huntsville’s own Straight to Ale brewery. In addition to good food and a unique atmosphere at Campus 805, they have an extensive beer menu. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I think mine is the Stout at the Devil.
