A late-afternoon sun slides over brick warehouses as you step off Broad Street into Scott’s Addition — once rail yards and garages, now a corridor of taprooms and reclaimed industrial spaces. The tour threads five stops in roughly three hours: Buskey Cider’s airy depot taproom, Strangeways’ eccentric brewery, Ardent’s beer garden, Black Heath’s mead-focused tasting room, and Blue Bee’s barrel-aged ciders.
