    Going to Talladega next weekend for the NASCAR race and I'm wondering if anybody knows of any good bottle shops or brewpubs in that area. I checked out beermapping.com but it didn't look like there was much around as far as brewpubs.

    I'm taking 65 south to Birmingham from Louisville, KY and I'm trying to find SOMEWHERE to pick up something new. Anybody???

    Bottle shops: Highland Package, Vulcan Beverage, Whole Foods, and maybe HopCity (if it is open).

    Pubs: The J. Clyde.

    I'll second Highland Package and the J. Clyde (although J. Clyde is hard to find, it's essentially on an alley). Hop City should hopefully be open by then as well.

    Also try...

    Good People Brewing (about 1/2 mile off I-65)
    Avondale Brewing

    brewpubs: none, despite legislative reform done by Free the Hops. There are brewpubs in the state, just not in Bham yet.

    Well, we ended up stopping by Good People Brewing (but they were closed for a wedding apparently) , Hop City, and Highland Package. I was super impressed with Hop City. Wish we had a shop like that here in Louisville.
