Welcome to Decatur's Oldest Brewery

Dedicated to the Art of Brewing

Hand-crafted in small batches right here in the heart of Decatur, AL, XEO is dedicated to the art of brewing. We focus on traditional German, British, and Belgian-style beers while incorporating tasty American IPAs and unique experimental brews. Our focus is Community, and our taproom is a hub of local gatherings and events.

We also roast our own coffee in-house — available by the pound or half pound. You can try our hot or cold brew coffee in the taproom anytime we are open.

Plus, we make hand-crafted non-alcoholic sodas that are out-of-this-world delicious! Made with real ingredients like pure cane sugar, real honey, pure molasses, and real flavors. Great for all ages!
