Mississippi state law changed July 1, 2021, by providing a provision for a microbrewery to exist in the state. A group of four friends jumped to make the first Oxford microbrewery, Circle & Square Brewing Company, happen in Oxford. Sumner Abraham shared, “Once this law passed, we assembled our team and got to work. This has been an 18 month project of ensuring compliance with all applicable laws while setting up a structure that can be sustainable for decades to come. We felt Oxford, as a community, could benefit from having its own microbrewery and we are proud to be Oxford's first microbrewery. Our hope is that anytime anyone comes to town, we can deliver a high quality product that reflects how special of a community we get to call home.”
