    I will be in Point Clear, AL at the end of March.

    Beerfly shows nothing, but maybe there is something close by.

    Can anyone recommend any breweries, bars, stores, etc. in the area?

    Thanks in advance!

    Fairhope, AL is about 10min north of Point Clear so check out:

    Fairhope Brewing

    Cain's Piggly Wiggly grocery store should have a good bottle selection

    Mobile, AL is about a 45min drive across the bay:

    Cottage Hill Package Store

    I assume you are flying into Mobile but if you are driving down from IL, I recommend stopping in Birmingham. We have 6 breweries, some great restaurants, and the best bottle shop in the state (Hop City).

    Thanks that helps a lot!!

    I'm actually coming up from Pensacola on this trip, but I get to Birmingham a few times a year for work and always enjoy the beer scene there!

    Birmingham actually had a beer scene before brew pubs and craft became popular. I was there on a visit in the 80's and friend took me to a beer brewery pub. Being from Atlanta I had never experienced that scene. GA has definitely caught up and passed AL at this point.

    Thanks for the tips. Went to the Fairhope Brewery yesterday with a group of 6. We had a great time. Fantastic service and some really good beers.
