Flying into Pensacola in two weeks and spending some time in Seaside. Can anyone recommend places in those areas to pick up some bottles of good Southern made BA Stouts/Barleywines? Some Cigar City stuff would be great, but I'd also appreciate any recommendations on other local Southern beers that I can't get in CA. Cheers!
I second Bambooze for Pensacola. You can also check out: Richey's East on 9th Ave (close to the airport) Four Winds (around the corner from Richey's in the same complex) Pensacola Bay Brewery for local growler fills Chan's Wine World on Gregory St (this opened last week) Fort Walton Beach Chan's Wine World in Uptown Station Props Brewery for local growler fills Destin ABC Liquors on Hwy 98 Chan's Wine World / Craft Bar 4424 Commons Dr They also do crowler fills on whatever they have on tap in the Craft Bar Seaside Grayton Beer for local growler fills There's also a deli/market that has a small but good craft beer selection but I can't recall their name As for recommendations other than CCB in this area, you can look out for Terrapin, Red Brick, Saint Somewhere, Swamphead, Straight to Ale, Lazy Magnolia, Back Forty, Idyll Hounds
Was at Modica last month and they had a lot of Prairie Apple Brandy Noir. Def get that if it's still there. Amazing beer.
