Local Craft Breweries in Pensacola

Local Craft Breweries in Pensacola

Our favorite home brewer and craft beer aficionado known as Big Daddy takes us on a tour of every local brewery in Pensacola, Florida. After the hardship of multiple visits to each location, on a personal mission to test taste all available local craft beer options, Big Daddy gives us this extensive list with his tips and thoughts. Use the map below to find your favorites or create your own brew pub tour!

Odd Colony Brewing Company ~ 260 N Palafox Street

Although not opened until October of 2019, Odd Colony has already generated a lot of buzz on the Pensacola beer scene.  With a distinct Midwestern flare to its brewing, Odd Colony brings something sorely missing from the local craft beer market, CRAFT.  The New England IPA is the best in the area.  As is typical with a new brewery, the selection of styles is limited, but what they do they do right.  With a neighborhood vibe, the spaces and bar are open and accommodate a good size crowd.  Servers are quick and knowledgeable. With a little time, Odd Colony could become the brewpub everyone else in the area is trying to catch up to.

McGuires Irish Pub ~ 600 E. Gregory Street

Local beer meets one of the best restaurants in the southeast.  Well-known for their Irish amber ale, they also have seasonal beers that are different and worth a try. 

Pensacola Bay Brewery ~ 225 E. Zaragoza Street

Pioneers of the Pensacola craft brewpub scene, PBB offers arguably the best all-around selection of locally-brewed beer in Pensacola.  With a wide collection of flagship beers, there is something for all tastes.  Beers can be consumed in the pub, outside on the shaded patio, or in a tree-lined courtyard.  The staff is both friendly and knowledgeable which is unusual among brewpubs.  Be sure to check out the collection of decals from breweries from around the country.

Gulf Coast Brewery ~ 500 E Heinberg Street

One of the most impressive displays of brewing equipment on the Gulf Coast, be sure to walk into the brewing room.  GCB is also the home to Jerry’s Cajun Bistreaux food truck, so you can enjoy some traditional Cajun food with your cold beer either inside or on the shaded patio outside.

Gary’s Brewery & Biergarten ~ 208 Newman Avenue

Started by a local home-brewer, at his brewery supply store, Gary’s offers something different for every visit.  Beers can be enjoyed inside at the small bar, or outside in the beautifully landscaped and appointed biergarten.

A Little Madness Brewing Company ~ 9838 N. Davis Highway

One of the smaller breweries in the area, Little Madness is not afraid to take chances.  Each visit here will be rewarded with different and unusual beer style.  Be sure to check the hours of operation before you head there.

Spahr Brewing Company ~ 3541 W. Fairfield Drive

Offering old-world style lager beers, Spahr is unique among the Pensacola breweries.  Focusing on traditional German beers, Spahr offers beer styles not often seen at local brewpubs.  Offering a rotation of food trucks, beer can be enjoyed inside or on the large patio outside.

Perfect Plain Brewing Company ~ 50 E. Garden Street

One of the newer breweries, Perfect Plain offers unusual beers to an eclectic downtown hipster crowd.  Seating is limited, and only available inside. 

Big Top Brewing Company ~ 21 W. Romana Street

Based in Sarasota, Big Top has made Pensacola its second home.  Beers are locally-brewed with a large selection of styles.  Boasting an executive local chef, Big Top offers an ever-changing menu with some of the finest food available at any brewpub.  Seating is ample, but only available indoors.

Goat Lips Chew & Brewhouse ~ 2811 Copter Road

Conveniently located near University mall,  Goat Lips is a small volume brewery offering Redneck Riviera beers from inside the Goat Lips restaurant.

Coastal County Brewing Company ~ 3041 E. Olive Road

Under construction – coming soon

The 5 Barrel Taproom & Brewery ~ 121 S Palafox Street

Under construction – coming soon

Emerald Republic Brewing ~ 1414 W Government Street
