Southern Grist's East taproom is a collaboration with Xul Beer Company, pouring a full lineup of Xul and Southern Grist beers. The rotating list spans hazy IPAs, fruited sours, and light lagers, with gluten-free options like PB&J Mixtape earning particular praise. A wraparound bar, two patios, and on-site food from Lauter round out the experience.
