COMMON BOND BREWERS
Common Bond Brewers , a brewery and taproom in Montgomery ’ s downtown entertainment district , opened its doors in 2018 . But like many other business ventures , the groundwork began long before that . The idea to open a brewery started in 2014 after a homebrew recipe became a finalist award winner in a local contest . Over the years , Common Bond Brewers has brewed more than 50 different beers . Andrew McNally , President / Head Brewer at Common Bond Brewers , said there are no current plans to expand .
