  • Hundred Daze IPA
    IPA - American 6.8% ABV 69 IBU

    For the hop lovers, we present our flagship IPA. Citrus, apricot, passion fruit, and black pepper aromas introduce this moderately-strong American Ale. We dry hop 100 Daze with modern American hop varieties to create a strong, hoppy bitterness that will linger into the aftertaste. Clean, supporting malt flavor allows the hops to shine. Did we mention hops?

  • Area Two Fifty-One Hazy IPA
    IPA - New England / Hazy 6.3% ABV 49 IBU

    We present our take on the haze craze with this delightfully aromatic and tropical IPA, Light carbonation without a bitter bite makes this one go down like orange juice! Late addition hops are like a punch to the nose!

  • Rod's Reel Cream Ale
    Cream Ale 5% ABV 15 IBU

    American-style, all malt ale. Our cream ale is a crisp, light ale brewed with two-row barley, German pilsner malt, and just a touch of flaked maize. Light and well-balanced without hoppy bitterness, this sparkling golden brew goes down dry and leaves a hint of bready sweetness. If you are new to craft beer or just love a high quality American-style ale like we do, then this “not Bud” is for you.

  • Dixie's Heart Irish Red Ale
    Red Ale - Irish 5% ABV 23 IBU

    Reflective of our laid-back ‘Bama attitude, we’ve created this easy-drinking pint with rich caramel and toffee flavors and a medium hop bitterness. Just slightly sweet, the balance of the beer is more malted than bitter, with just a touch of spice and a roasted dryness at the finish.

  • Midnight Cruise Porter
    Porter - American 6.3% ABV 36 IBU

    A tribute to the allure of a dark night, Midnight Cruise is a inky brown beer with a moderately-strong malt flavor featuring roasted chocolate and coffee flavors. Dark roasted grains give the brew a sharp, but not bitter, taste countered by a slight caramel sweetness. Finishes dry.

  • Amy Honey Basil Wheat
    Honey Beer 5.6% ABV 19 IBU

    A simple yet complex traditional hazy wheat beer brewed with 2 row, honey malt and wheat and then conditioned on Baldwin County grown basil and locally harvested honey.

  • Surrender Cobra
    Schwarzbier 5% ABV 24 IBU

  • Small Town Brown Ale
    Brown Ale - American 5.1% ABV 26 IBU

    We hope you find this beer as inviting as our small town! Our caramel-centric brown ale has a gentle, nutty sweetness with notes of toffee and chocolate from English Crystal and chocolate malts. The malt-hop balance of this brew makes our brown complex, but still sessionable.

  • Mr. Tallymon Hefeweizen
    Wheat Beer - Hefeweizen 5% ABV 23 IBU

    When daylight comes, you’ll want to reach for this refreshing wheat beer. Brewed with equal parts German Pilsner and Wheat malts, Mr. Tallymon has a light, fruity flavor with hints of banana and clove. The body is medium to light—never heavy. Our Hefe is the perfect beer to cool you down after a long day at the beach. ​

  • Yacht Rocker Meyer Lemon Gose
    Sour - Traditional Gose 4.3% ABV 6 IBU

    Surely a sign of summertime on the horizon. This beer is easily one of the most drinkable summer beers in our lineup folks! We take a traditional Gose brewed with coriander and sea salt, but we load it up with Meyer lemon. It's perfectly low-alcohol, light, and easy to drink.

  • Catman's Kolsch
    Kölsch 5% ABV N/A IBU

    Local lore has it that three young men who were victims of the Great Depression wandered into what we now know as the Gulf State Park to live off the land. Unfortunately years later, only two of of these men came out. The other one, is now a wild beast with long fingernails and sharp teeth known as the Catman. He is rarely seen and it has been some time since he was last spotted here in the taproom at Big beach. A perfectly balanced, German-style Kolsch to celebrate our beastly friends in the depths of the park.

  • Flight of the Snowbirds Bushwhacker Stout
    Stout - Imperial / Double Milk 10.5% ABV 33 IBU

    Chocolate, Vanilla, Toasted Coconut, and cold brew coffee from Foam Coffee, right down the street from our brewery.

  • Wolf Bae
    Wheat Beer - Other 5.5% ABV 18 IBU

    Perhaps the smoothest of all fruited wheat beers, we present our Wolf Bae Pineapple Wheat. It's fondly named after one of our unique estuaries in South Alabama that not only creates a habitat for a diverse ecosystem, but also serves as a recreational area for locals and tourists alike to enjoy. If you look closely, you can see the shape of Wolf Bay in the label!

  • Shores Light
    Lager - American Light 4.2% ABV 9 IBU

    Our take on the American Light Lager - no this isn't a Bud Light or a Coors light, but it has the same character with a helluva lot more love and flavor.

  • Tangerine & Blood Orange Emergen-Sea
    IPA - New England / Hazy 8.5% ABV N/A IBU

    An epically hazy, double-dry hopped double IPA with Citra hops, fruited with tangerine and blood orange.

  • Oktoberfest Märzen
    Märzen 5.7% ABV 31 IBU

    A classic take on the German-style Marzen, or otherwise known as Festbier, our Oktoberfest is meant to honor the German roots. It's a malty lager with a nice toasted bread character and German hops. It's very drinkable and surely to please your tastebuds headed into the Fall season.

  • The Good Doctor
    Pale Ale - New England / Hazy 5% ABV N/A IBU

  • Warhead Boogie
    Sour - Berliner Weisse 6.9% ABV 7 IBU

    German style sour wheat beer loaded with tart black currants and juicy boysenberries. Deep, dark magenta in color.

  • Skyrockets Bomb Pop Sour Ale
    Sour - Fruited 6.8% ABV 7 IBU

    Cherry, Lime, Raspberry fruited sour ale reminiscent of your favorite patriotic summertime popsicle.

  • Satsumo Belgian Wit
    Wheat Beer - Witbier / Blanche 5.1% ABV 15 IBU

    We brew this zesty wheat ale with a heavy hit of locally-grown Satsuma orange peels, crushed coriander, and chamomile. Warrior hops make for a slightly bitter background and balance the sweetness of the orange. You’ll taste a lovely honey malt, citrus fruitiness, and just a little peppery spice with a dry, tart finish. ​

  • Party In the Back
    IPA - Imperial / Double 9.7% ABV 100 IBU

  • Pharmer's Market
    Sour - Traditional Gose 6% ABV N/A IBU

    It's been a while since we threw the entire kitchen sink in a beer, but Springtime begins in March and Springtime calls for sour ales. Allow us to reintroduce our Pharmer's Market Sour Ale, our extraaaaa fruited sour ale fruited with strawberry, peach, passionfruit, blackberry, pineapple, pink guava, blood orange, blueberry, grapefruit, and vanilla bean. If there's a flavor you're searching for in a beer, surely it's right here!

  • Bioluminescence
    IPA - New Zealand 6% ABV 68 IBU

    Motueka and Galaxy

  • Shelvis Blueberry Mango Sour
    Sour - Fruited 6.9% ABV 8 IBU

    Shelvis is our imperial soured wheat ale conditioned on an obscene amount of blueberry, mango, and marshmallows. This beer has the perfect balance between tartness and juiciness and is perfect for prepping for summertime.

  • Sex On the Beach
    Sour - Fruited 6.9% ABV N/A IBU

    It's the thirst quenching tiki drink, but in beer form, folks! Allow us to introduce a member of our Little Lagoon Tiki Sour series, the Sex on the Beach sour ale. Fruited with peach, cranberry, cherry, and lemon.

Wide variety of beers available! We purchased 2 flights because there were so many flavors we wanted to try. We ended up liking most of them-even the sours which we don't usually prefer. The bartender was friendly and helpful with recommendations. Indoor seating and a nice outdoor patio area for nice weather days.

Rated 5 out of 5


This place is exactly what I want in a brewery. I enjoy drinking craft beer. While relatively small (not crazy busy at all hours), they have a diverse beer lineup to please nearly all craft drinkers. They even have local craft sodas for kids and those not having alcohol. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy and relax. Though they don’t have food, they welcome guests to bring food or have it delivered. The staff was welcoming and friendly.

A hidden gem for beer lovers! We are from Atlanta and this is the best coastal place in the southeast we have been. They do mostly small batches and you can only get their beer at the brewery so make sure to stock up. Most other beach breweries lack the flavor but this place was great! Area 251 IPA and the new skyrockets sour was phenomenal! My dad isn’t a huge craft beer person but he really enjoyed the American light beer and the Rod’s Reel cream ale.

Rated 5 out of 5


Great little spot for beer enthusiasts. Found this gem while on vacation in Gulf Shores. Diverse selection of craft beer, something pleasing for every palate. Very tasty hazy IPA & sour (my two favorite styles of beer). Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5


Love this place! We were staying the area over the summer and got to enjoy their weekly food truck menus and wide selection of beers! My favorite was the Yacht Rocker and Hola Olas, hubby liked the IPA selection.
