Gulf shores beer stores

This will be my first trip outside of La where I actually like "good" beer, so I've basically only had what we get in La and nothing else. I consider myself a hophead, but I like Belgian styles, stouts, etc. as well. I wanted to know of a good store in gulf shore/orange beach with a good selection of beer that is not distributed in La.
I also want some recommendations on what beers I should/can get. I know I want to look for Bells and Sweetwater, but I need other recommendations. I probably won't want to drive all the way to Pensacola, but if I do, what should I look for there?

Chan's is in Destin so that's likely too far from you.
I think Pensecola has Four Winds?
That would be the best place to go honestly. I doubt it's that far from you.
They have Bells, Smuttynose, Brooklyn, Weyerbacher, Victory, Southern Tier, maybe Cigar City. I'm not sure exactly what the Belgians look like as I stick to American craft when I buy out of state because Louisiana gets a damn fine Belgian line up.

Find some great divide, left hand, good people, and Avery.

I had to searching around to find the name of the place, but there is a store in Orange Beach called Grape Escape. It is more of a wine store, but they have a selection of nice brews. I know I have bought Bells Two Hearted there in the past few years. Look it up for the address. I am pretty sure it is in a shopping center with a Winn Dixie or some other grocery store.

Four Winds in Pensacola would be your best bet but this is on the way in Mobile:

The Piggly Wiggly on Hwy 59 in Foley has one of the largest Craft Beer selections in Baldwin County. (and no, I am not kidding)

if you are in Orange Beach, just cross the pass and traverse Perdido Key. When leaving the island on the FL side there will be a Publix on your left and a Winn-Dixie a half mile ahead.
I don't remember Alabama having the best selection, then again my dad lives in Perdido on the FL side so that's where I buy my beer.

I had the same problem down there several weeks ago. I ended up at Richie's in Pensacola. The beer selection there was excellent. Alabama did pass its high gravity law, but some manufacturers haven't added us to the distribution list yet (i.e. Stone and Dogfish). They've been servicing Florida. Someone could make a lot of money if that liquor store across from the FlorBama would add good beers to their inventory.....
