August starts a favorite time of year for many craft beer drinkers - Beer Festival Season. The good news is that there are festivals happening in the Pensacola area every month through November.
Actually, Southern Napa surprised us this year and held the first annual "99 Bottles of Beer on the Lawn" in Daphne, AL back in May. It's great to see they've already made plans to hold the event next year on May 10th and we now have it on our radar.
Consider this a "read-ahead" so that you can start planning which festival(s) you would like to attend. We will be posting about each one of these festivals individually as they get closer to happening. So expect to see our post about Top of the Hops - The Wharf Beer Fest any day now.
Also, for reference, you can always use our Resources - Beer Festivals page which also lists the area festivals.
The festivals are listed in chronological order. As always, please let us know if there is a festival you feel that we should have listed here.
