Ghost River Brewing is an independently owned Memphis brewery founded in 2007 and recognized by the company as the city’s first craft brewery. Named for the Ghost River section of the Wolf River, the brewery has long tied its identity to the waterways and aquifer that shape the Memphis area. Its beer lineup spans approachable year-round ales and rotating specialty releases, with styles ranging from golden and red ales to more experimental seasonal brews. Visitors can experience Ghost River at its original South Main taproom, where the brewery pairs a broad draft selection with a full kitchen, house-made seltzer, and a bar featuring local spirits. A second taproom on Beale Street brings the brewery into the heart of downtown Memphis.
