Brewery Profile

Mississippi Ale House

In Olive Branch’s beer scene, this is a taproom that grew from a craft beer bar into a producer with its own label. The venue opened in 2017 with 11 taps, then expanded to 30 taps in 2018, giving visitors a broader draft list built around Mississippi Ale House beers along with local and regional craft selections. A first visit is likely to feel more like a neighborhood taproom than a production-focused tour stop: the main draw is checking the board, ordering at the bar, and settling in for a pint or flight if available. Its own lineup includes Ale House Light, Arm Chair Amber, Hop Doctor IPA, and ciders such as Pineapple Deception. In 2022, Mississippi Ale House took over Backwater Brewing Company and incorporated cider production, adding another branch to what guests may find on tap.

Travelers in this part of Mississippi often look for straightforward regional beer stops: places where the list is not limited to one house style, and where a group can choose between lighter pours, maltier options, hop-forward beer, or cider. Mississippi Ale House fits that kind of itinerary because it operates both as a local taproom and as a showcase for beers beyond its own name. Someone who wants a familiar light beer can start with Ale House Light, while a visitor looking for a more assertive craft option might look for Hop Doctor IPA. The cider side is also relevant for mixed groups, especially after the Backwater transition. Live music and other events are part of the taproom’s calendar, so the experience can vary from a quiet beer stop to a busier evening gathering depending on the day.

A few practical details are worth knowing before going. Mississippi Ale House is a beer-only establishment, so visitors should not expect a full cocktail or wine program. Food is handled separately: patrons may bring food, order from the on-site OB Pizza Co., or use nearby Sidestreet Burgers. That setup makes it easy to plan a longer stop without treating the taproom itself as a full-service restaurant. Because draft lists rotate and events change, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, cider availability, food arrangements, and entertainment schedule. For travelers passing through Olive Branch, it is best approached as a casual beer stop with local ties, a sizable tap selection, and enough food flexibility to work for both quick visits and longer evenings.
