"On a visit to Birmingham I had the opportunity to taste five beers from this relatively new Alabama craft brewery. The actual brewery sits below the Five Points Grill, in a place once occupied by the brewing operation of The Mill Bakery and Brewery that produced beer in Birmingham's Five Points South area in the 1990's. The Good People Brown Ale pours a deep russet brown with a tight tan head that clings to the side of the glass as it is enjoyed. It is rich and malty with a bit of a hop finish. The GP Pale Ale has a copper color and a notable presence of Cascade hops. The IPA has a subtle floral nose and pronounced citrus hop presence. The Good People Oatmeal Coffee Stout pours an opaque black with a dense tan head. The aroma is that of coffee, while the taste is smooth and chocolaty with a lingering mild coffee bitterness at the finish. I also had a small sample of their roggenbier, which had a light amber color and a tart and slightly dry finish fitting for the style. All five Good People offerings were on draught at the Five Points Grill and at the nearby J. Clyde pub. Other pubs and restaurants in the Birmingham area reportedly pour one to several of these very solid and drinkable beers"
