One thing that is often enjoyed on any campus during gameday is beer. With that in mind, Southeastern Conference towns are benefiting from the explosion in craft brewery popularity with an increase in the quality of beer options.

Looking at the on-campus options as well as the popular social media app untappd, we can begin to evaluate which SEC fans have the best local craft beer scene. Here is that ranking, based on the brewery in each campus with the highest average rating, with a minimum requirement of 5,000 check-ins.

No. 14 - Ole Miss (Oxford, Miss.)

Right off the bat, because of highly restrictive beer laws, Ole Miss has yet to have a brewery in town. But, because of House Bill 1322 in 2017, Mississippi became state No. 49 to allow on-premise beer sales. That brings the hope of options for Ole Miss fans, with a potential brewpub in planning in Heron and the Hare and Yalobusha Brewery announcing plans to convert to a brewpub in Oxford.

No. 13 - Auburn (Auburn, Ala.)

While Auburn does not have a brewery in town, you can find one in Opelika - Red Clay Brewing Company, which has an average rating of 3.62. and features Half-time Hefeweizen, 53 Kolsch, and Southern Renegade ESB.

No. 12 - Mississippi State (Starkville, Miss.)

The Bulldogs do have a brewery in town in Mayhew Junction, which, with a 3.86 average rating, would have cracked the top five. But the nano-brewery has only 3,169 check-ins to date and does not appear to be very active at this time.

No. 11 - Texas A&M (College Station, Texas)

New Republic Brewing is the show in town, with a 3.64 average over 34,000 check-ins. Fans will take pride in knowing the brewery says it is Aggie owned & operated, with a red ale, dunkelweizen, blond ale, and Whipsaw IPA among its core offerings.
