Big Beach Brewing - Gulf Shores

I rarely leave reviews BUT I just had to....best brewery I've been to in a long time. Had the Surrender Cobra, Dixie's Heart and Rea 251. All excellent! Atmosphere is awesome with really nice outdoor seating.

This is one of my all time favorite places in Gulf Shores. The beer is quality and the staff is wonderful. Aesthetically it has both small town beach charm and modern craft beer decor. On many nights you can catch live music or other festivities. Plus, you can come hungry on Thursdays through the weekend because they have a bespoke food truck (called Nom Nom) with an incredible rotating menu. If you are local you will always see someone you know, and if you are a tourist then you found a special spot! Beers to try: the year round beers, Hundred Daze and Area 251 are quite lovely in their own respect; most of their sours (try any with Guava) are almost always unfiltered, chewy, and scrumptious; the higher ABV stouts (especially Game, Blouses) are a dessert to themselves. The bartenders know their stuff, so if you need some guidance they can always help. Also, if you are going with someone that does not drink beer, but likes wine, they have wine too! They do have beer to go in cans, as well as some drinks for kids in the cooler. If you are down for vacation, or a year round local, Big Beach is a must visit for sure!

Derrick was great! Tried several brews and got plenty of big beach brewing swag to take back to Ohio with us.

I really enjoyed the beers (the Area Two Fifty-One hazy IPA and the Notoberfest marzen). Nice location, good atmosphere, friendly staff.

Great venue!!! Live Music!!! Nice outdoor area. Food truck. And beer. All the ingredients of a fun brewery. The food truck menu is always changing and the food is very good. The beer is good quality that represents the styles well. Good variety of styles and regular beer releases. Wine is available for non beer drinkers. Large TV’s for sports.
