Each beer on tap is crafted with care, showcasing unique flavors that range from light and refreshing to bold and complex.

It’s a night filled with laughter, music, and a little friendly competition, making it a must-attend for both regulars and newcomers.
For those looking to unwind and find balance, the brewery also hosts “Brews & Flow” with the Sage Yogis, where you can stretch and sip in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It’s a unique way to blend wellness with socializing, making it a favorite for many in the community. The class is $15 per class and make sure to bring your own yoga mat.
As summer winds down, Cross-Eyed Owl is pulling out all the stops with their End of Summer Patio Party. This event promises to be a highlight of the season, featuring on-site tie-dye activities, an old-fashioned Low-Country Shrimp boil, and live music by the Astronomical Blues Society. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the end of summer—good food, great music, and a lively atmosphere that brings the community together.
For the true Cross-Eyed Owl enthusiasts, the Mug Club offers an exclusive experience. Members receive a personalized mug that’s kept at the brewery, larger pours at the same price as a regular pint, and special discounts on merchandise and events. It’s the perfect way to show your support for Decatur’s first brewery while enjoying some great perks along the way.
Cross-Eyed Owl Brewing Company isn’t just a place to grab a drink—it’s a community hub where everyone is welcome.
