I haven’t been to Gulf Shores in 6 years - been going to Destin and conveniently grabbing beer at Chan’s - but, alas, FL hates LA and Gulf Shores it is. I am aware of Cottage Hill, but I have my family with me and I will not be able to convince them to detour that far. I remember Maggie’s Bottle and Tail from years ago, but that is a little out of the way also (staying at The Beach Club). I figured now with the rise of craft beer, there would be more options in the area.

Also, bonus question - what should I get thats available in AL? I have not kept up with the times.

Pro tip- Bucees where you get off on the beach express way has a nice selection of local IPAs with fresh dates and run $1-$2 cheaper than everywhere else. I'm in Pensacola constantly and have made Bucees my beer stop for stuff to bring back home. Plus you can get brisket tacos...

Don’t forget to visit the source as well. Big Beach Brewing is doing good things and is located in Gulf Shores.

You could also take 98 south and stop at Fairhope Brewing on the way. If you do that the Pig in Fairhope has a pretty good selection.

The Piggly Wiggly in Foley used to have a good selection but I feel like the last time I stopped there it was lacking.

The one on 59? Think there’s a Winn Dixie or used to be one on 59 in same shopping center as a liquor store.

Go to Big Beach. They do crowlers, and they have all the craft beer styles that you need.

Yup... it’s pretty close to the outlet mall if I remember right. It used to be awesome 4-5 years ago. I don’t think I stopped their last year because 2 years ago the selection had gotten kinda weak. I’m going in a couple weeks so I might revisit to see if it’s back to it’s glory days

ETA: looks like the store has a Fb page and they’re filling growlers there now so maybe it’s gotten better

There's also a Rouse's on 98 in Daphne that we've stopped at on our way to Fairhope with great selection.

Fairhope Brewing usually has several one offs in cans available only at the Brewery. I usually hit it on the way in and out of Fairhope when we go to The Grand. Pint cans too.

As far as Alabama beers, they're one of the best. Good People and TrimTab have also been mentioned, but I'll add Cahaba and Avondale.
