Good Girl Brewing Co. is set to open in Aiken on May 7th. The brewery and restaurant, located at 880 Banks Mill Road S.E., will serve craft beer made on-site as well as food. The building has been renovated and was previously home to Found Treasures, an antiques and collectibles store that closed in 2020. The ownership team of Good Girl includes Andrew and Rachael Phifer, along with their friends Paul and Morgan Batton, and Rachael’s parents.
The property for Good Girl was purchased for $259,000 by Phifer Brewing LLC in January 2021. The brewery has faced challenges with zoning permits, rising material costs, loan approvals, and construction delays, but they have prioritized doing things right and to the best of their abilities. Despite any delays, they are proud of the outcome.
