Designed with a nod to its past, The 1911 blends timeless architecture with a speakeasy-inspired atmosphere that is perfect for live music, performances, and specialty events. We wear many hats, and each one is unique. Housed in a repurposed tobacco barn, it is designed for merging old-world traditions and flavors with new-world brewing technologies.
Here on the grounds you will find fantastic local businesses.
Judge W.F. Gay was appointed to serve as the town’s first postmaster in 1886 and was appointed to serve as mayor when the Town of Gay incorporated in 1906. The West Gate of The Cotton Pickin’ Fair is the former front door of this building.
Adjacent to The1911 Building is the BLACKSMITH SHOP, home to The Cotton Pickin’ Blacksmith.
Later it was used to store a few thousand bales of newly ginned cotton.
The BASKETMAKER’S CABIN began life as part of a grist mill dam on the Flint River; timbers from that dam were used to construct a corn crib on the farm, which was relocated to it’s present location forty years again.

We are also home to the Historic Bi - Annual Cotton Fair!
Legacy meets tradition since 1972
The Cotton Fair has been a staple in the community of Gay, Georgia for over 50 years. Located in the 1911 Building is the Brewery’s Taproom- The Ice Block, as well as an ultra - vibey space, The Vault.
The Cotton Pickin’ Fair gin last ran in 1971. Downstairs, peaches were packed into wood crates assembled by workers directly overhead, on the second floor. Each year during the first weekend of May and October, the Festival brings a bustling crowd into our historic town of Gay. The festival is a chance to discover unique, skilled artisans and one-of-a-kind crafts and antiques.
