JACKSON – Fertile Ground Beer Co., located at the Belhaven Town Center in Jackson, is set to celebrate its two-year anniversary this Saturday, May 18. Since opening in 2022, the brewery has enjoyed considerable success, offering a variety of beers on draft and in cans throughout Central Mississippi.
Last year, Fertile Ground expanded its offerings with the local favorite, Colson’s Golden Ale, now brewed and owned by the brewery at its Jackson location. “We set out to make great beer, first and foremost,” said co-founder Matthew McLaughlin. “We were very purposeful in every aspect of our products, brand, and taproom to promote the idea of cultivating community.”
The anniversary celebration will feature live music from WaterWorks Curve at 1 p.m., four food trucks, a special beer release, free cupcakes, and more. “We’ve had an amazing two years with tremendous community support, seeing regular visitors and newcomers alike,” co-founder Conner Reeves told the Clarion Ledger. “We have created a space where people want to come and drink locally made beer or try new ones.”
In honor of American Craft Beer Week leading up to the celebration, the brewery has released five new beers. Organizers also hinted at plans to expand Fertile Ground locations across the country.
