    Can any local BAs help me out and recommend any local shops that I can grab some good stuff while down that way. I would love to grab some CCB stuff, so please let me know where I can go for a good selection. I will be there from the 9th-21st of June. Thanks in advance!

    Start at Hopjacks Filling Station. Great bottle/can selection and also have about 30 beers on tap to fill 32oz growlers. (Hopjacks on Palafox is awesome and has over 120 beers on tap and also fills growlers but isn't a bottle shop). Next try Anna's Fine Wines (which is inside of Joe Patti's Seafood). World of Beer on Palafox has a very large beer and bottle selection, but is expensive, so I avoid it. All of these are within a few miles of each other.

    CCB isn't here and hasn't been for over 2 months. I do expect to see a good bit on shelves within the week, but how long it will last is anyone's guess. They're not sending much quantity of anything up our way. Even when we do get it, we only get Jai Alai, Maduro (once), and Cracker.

    I found a decent amount of Cigar City when I was out that way last year, but it was just the standard brews. I did, however, find the collabs with The Bruery at Richie's East in the same shopping complex.

    On a side note, I'll be in Pensacola for a few days in about a week. Definitely hitting Hopjacks, Tin Cow, Pensacola Bay Brewery... haven't been there since World of Beer and Filling Station opened. Anything new and exciting open up or develop in the last 12 months?

    Yeah, Hopjacks on Palafox has a few great taps, a handful of good taps, and several just above average taps. World of Beer one block away has less, but still a very good bottle/can selection. Haven't made it to the other location for Hopjacks though. As far as bottle shops, Richey's East Liquor on N 9th St has the best overall selection that I found. However, they had no CCB Jai Alai. Paradise Liquor has a good selection, but no CCB as of this week. Bambooze had some hidden gems, but not much overall for selection. If you want to make the most of a bottle shop run, hit up Richey's East on 9th, not the other location on Gregory (they have nothing). They have CCB, Southern Tier, Bell's, Oskar Blues, Terrapin, Stone, and The Bruery. There are several more options, but don't want to type them all.....lol.
