Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company is a brewery located in Kiln, Mississippi, United States.
Brief history
The brewery was established by Mark and Leslie Henderson. Leslie's journey began with her enrollment at the American Brewers Guild Brewing School in July 2003, followed by an apprenticeship at Crescent City Brewhouse during spring 2004. By September 2004, the founders had acquired a facility and received brewing machinery the following month, enabling full operations by December. The inaugural brew took place in January 2005, and by March of that year, their first kegs were distributed throughout the Gulf Coast region. Operations were temporarily interrupted after Hurricane Katrina devastated the founders' residence in September 2005 but recommenced by October.
By early 2007, Lazy Magnolia was supplying bars and restaurants throughout Mississippi with kegged beer. The company initiated bottled beer sales in December 2007. Presently, Lazy Magnolia produces over 90 different beer styles, featuring its well-known Southern Pecan beer.
Rat infestation
In March 2019, the brewery was assigned a temporary C health rating following the discovery of rat droppings within the taproom kitchen and brewing spaces, which affected its compliance with health standards.
