Local Motive Brewing

Great beer, staff, Thai food and DOG FRIENDLY

Came for music bingo. Driving cross country. We don’t drink but most breweries have good food and a nice vibe, people our age, etc. besides NA is a thing now and there are some pretty decent products now. Except in the South apparently? Or at least according to the bar flies by the door. When I inquired about NA beer the host responded condescendingly something about not being a quitter no matter how bad things get…then I had to fend off jokes about O’douls. This all disregards the fact that there are other reasons than alcoholism that someone might be sober, you know, occupation stuff like sports or bodybuilding, medical conditions, pregnancy, religion (figured the last one would be well know in the a region full of Baptists, but I digress) Anywho no biggie. We went next door to Buddies, got a delicious burger and, what do ya know, Buddy’s sell Athletic NA IPA Sorry to say we did not feel welcome even though music bingo seems cool.

Passing through Florence and stopped here for a beer. Cool spot with a lot of outdoor space for our dog. The hazy ipa was delicious!

Great place when the weather is nice. Lots of outdoor space for spreading out, even good for kids.

Memorable experience. A family friendly, communal experience to a traveler from out of state, who was treated like a visiting celebrity. I asked for details about about the beer I selected, and the young lady tapper pointed to the owner and said, "Steven will be happy to answer any questions you have." Damn straight. He gave me a brewery tour and educated me, a decades old homebrewer. He crafts excellent beer, but more importantly, is an embassador that welcomes any and all as friends.

A cute little brewery with awesome beer. Definitely worth the stop if you’re passing through Florence on 95!

It would be great if we could see your beer offerings on your website. Thank you.

No flights and hour wait for wing night
