http://finance.yahoo.com/photos/a-craft-beer-boom-is-brewing-in-alabama-1388162892-slideshow/ I was in Montgomery last week and was pleasantly surprised with what I saw/tasted. Dirk's Filet & Vine is a bottle shop that would be at home in any beer-centric town, let alone Montgomery. Y'all have come a long way from when I lived there - congrats!
I consider Derk's to be my home bottle shop. It isn't as big as Hop City in B'Ham but they have a whole lot of excellent offerings, and the folks that work there are pretty cool. The state of Alabama which is "first in football" has become a respectable beer state with a lot of awesome local options and a lot of good breweries being available that weren't this time last year.
