Fairhope Brewery to Bottle Beer
FAIRHOPE, Ala. (WPMI) The plan is to increase production by 600 times the current capacity, and we're talking beer here. It's an ambitious undertaking underway at the Fairhope Brewing Company.
It's the next logical step and in doing so, this little brewery could put south Alabama on the map as a beer making destination.
For two years now the beer has been flowing at the Fairhope Brewing Company, part of a growing trend of craft breweries popping up all over Alabama. Fairhope's brewery is one of 14 in the state and the only one south of Montgomery.
Is it a growing trend? Absolutely! Craft beer actually sold more than Budweiser, not Bud Light mind you, but more than Bud Heavy was outsold by craft beer last year for the first time ever, said head brewer Dan Murphy.
The beer is different, bolder, fresher and with local brewers who pay attention to detail.
A lot of people out there don't even know Fairhope has a brewery so once we can get on those store shelves we can really penetrate this market even more which has always been our goal, said managing partner Jim Foley.
Bottling the local favorites is the next logical step. Local investors, banks and even Fairhope's mayor see the value.
We really want to spread the word about just how great lower Alabama is and we will have a little thing on all our boxes that talks about the town the city of Fairhope, said Foley.
Next door to the current tap room is an up and coming bottling facility that should open by late March, early April. A lot will be changing for example fermenting tanks at the current brewing facility are huge. In the new bottling facility they will be six times the size, that means six times the beer and nearly 100,000 bottles produced every month.
Owner Brian Kane says increasing capacity and output is the only way the bottling venture will work.
To go to bottles you are going to have to do that we will be going from taps in places to grocery stores where they are not going to order just one keg it will be many cases of beer at least we hope so, said Kane.
So in the future when you see the brewery's signature Pelican and Fairhope's name prominently displayed on a bottle, you'll know your hometown beer has made it big.
To celebrate their second anniversary the Fairhope Brewing Company is having a party Saturday, 4 - 11 p.m. CLICK HERE for more information.

A series of changes to state laws has opened up Alabama to the world of high-alcohol specialty beers
A beer revolution is brewing in Alabama.
Drinkers thirsty for something other than Budweiser or Miller didn't have many choices in the state just a few years ago, but a series of laws passed since 2009 has opened up Alabama to the world of high-alcohol specialty beers, neighborhood brew pubs and microbreweries. It's a big change in a Bible Belt state that still has dry counties and legally banned home beer brewing and wine making until this year.
Today, Alabama drinkers can still grab some Buds, and many do. But there's also Truck Stop Honey ale, brewed by the Gadsden-based Back Forty Beer Co.; Monkeynaut IPA by Huntsville's Straight to Ale LLC; Vanillaphant Porter by Avondale Brewing Co. of Birmingham; and Section Street Wheat by Fairhope Brewing Co., located on the scenic eastern shore of Mobile Bay.
And unlike before, hobbyists can now legally make their own beer after purchasing supplies.
Michael Sellers, a founder and co-owner of Good People Brewing Co. in Birmingham, said everything is different because legislators updated some old laws.
There's definitely a vibe of kind of New South resurgence that you haven't felt in years past that you feel now, Sellers said.
Small breweries were common before the United States outlawed alcohol production and sales in 1920 during Prohibition, but large brewers have dominated the industry in the decades since legalized resumed 80 years ago.
Small, craft brewers gained popularity in parts of the nation in the 1980s and '90s, but Alabama was all but left out partly because of strict alcohol laws tied to Prohibition and religious opposition to alcohol use.
Good People Brewing began operations in 2008 under the old laws that limited everything from alcohol content to bottle size. Then, in 2009, a grassroots groups called Free The Hops got legislators to pass a law that allowed higher-alcohol brews, which are typical for craft breweries.
Twenty different brewers now operate in Alabama, including four brew pubs, and total employment is estimated to be at least 250 people. Huntsville has the biggest concentration with seven brewers, and other brewers or pubs are located in Anniston, Birmingham, Dothan, Fairhope, Montgomery, Phenix City, and Tuscaloosa, Wilson said.
The Brewers Guild projects 40,000 barrels of beer will be brewed in Alabama this year compared to just 1,000 barrels in 2009.
The numbers are still tiny in comparison to some states. Atlanta's SweetWater Brewing Co. this year expects to produce 147,000 barrels, or 107,000 more barrels than every Alabama brewer combined.

Petition for Redress of Grievances
We, the undersigned, do hereby petition our political leaders to heed the will of the people and reverse the fiscal and tax malfeasance which is jeopardizing the economic future of the State of Delaware and the United States of America. We, the people DO NOT approve of, nor condone the outrageous and out of control spending that is currently characterizing our governmental fiscal policies!
Specifically, we call on our leaders in Dover and Washington to stop all wasteful spending, stop ill-conceived tax increases, and cease and repeal the unprecedented transfer of the economy and wealth from taxpayers and businesses to the government and government controlled companies.
We call on our leaders in Washington to reduce the current and future national debt that mortgages the economic future of the next two generations of Americans. Further, the continued reliance on foreign countries purchasing our debt jeopardizes our independence.
We respectfully ask you to join us in our quest for governments that spend and tax wisely and prudently.
We respectfully ask you to join us in embracing the genius, creativity, independence and entrepreneurship of Americans that has created the greatest economy in the history of the world.
God bless America and the great State of Delaware!

Roy Bean
Phantly Roy Bean, Jr. was an eccentric U.S. saloon-keeper and Justice of the Peace in Val Verde County, Texas, who called himself The Law West of the Pecos. According to legend, Judge Roy Bean held court in his saloon along the Rio Grande on a desolate stretch of the Chihuahuan Desert of southwest Texas. After his death, Western films and books cast him as a hanging judge, although he is known to have sentenced only two men to hang, one of whom escaped.

GOSPEL JAM IN PANAMA CITY, TALLAHASSEE DOWNTOWN MARKET, AND APALACHICOLA
THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE; MAY 11-14, 2019
After our visit to the Bradfordville Blues Club (see our BBC video), we traveled through the Panhandle to Alabama (see our Fairhope Brewing Company jam session video). Our first stop was the Downtown Market in Tallahassee, which is a lovely, very intimate and relaxed affair. This farmers’ market is held in a beautiful, narrow park along Park Street, an area where the FSU campus and the buildings of Florida’s government can be found. It is a joy to walk around the neighborhood and look at the beautiful old Victorian homes, as well as the state capitol, which is a beautiful building, completed in 1845.
Next, we spent a night in a state park on St. George Island, a barrier reef along the coast, just SW of Tallahassee. Apalachicola, our next stop is close to St. George Island, which forms Apalachicola Bay, the source of the little town’s wealth in the past. An interesting aside is the fact that the name “Appalachia,” which nowadays refers to the mountainous region stretching from N Alabama/Georgia all the way to southern NY, finds its origins in the Florida Panhandle. Apalachicola was incorporated as a city in 1837, and experienced about two centuries of wealth and prominence, thanks to the sponge industry, its sheltered port (once one of the busiest in the Gulf of Mexico), and the seafood industry. In 1850 a local physician, John Gorrie, patented an “ice machine,” and laid the groundwork for the development of refrigeration and air conditioning. As you can see, there are still a good number of beautiful, old, red brick structures standing, and the town is packed with restaurants, breweries, and bars where you can get the freshest seafood in the state.
When traveling further west to Panama City, we decided to avoid the area around Mexico Beach, which was destroyed by hurricane Michael in the fall of 2018. Even though we made a wide arch around that area, the devastation was visible wherever you looked; very depressing! We did not get the impression that the residents of the area have received much help thus far. This notion was reinforced when we spoke with the people in the Music Barn, who had either experienced hardship from the hurricane firsthand, or who knew people whose lives had been put on hold by this monster storm.
I had “discovered” the Monday night jam sessions in the Music Barn, an old, converted pole barn some 7 miles north of Panama City, on the website of the Gulf Coast Bluegrass Music Association. It gives a couple of telephone numbers, which I dialed. I finally talked with Fred Reece, who turned out to be the owner of the building. Fred does not play, but truly enjoys the jam sessions, which he always attends with his children and grandchildren. Without Fred’s help, I would never have found the place, which is tucked away in a mobile home park on a dirt road. The building is divided into two areas: you enter in a big dining/kitchen area, which is where the potluck takes place after the jam. Long tables can easily seat dozens of people. The much bigger auditorium is a church-like space, with pews and all kinds of farm implements as ornaments along the walls. It can could probably seat 100-200 people. There is a stage, and a bunch of microphones, amplifiers, you name it. Each musician is asked to initiate, and lead, two songs. Then follows an episode during which those in attendance get an opportunity to ask for prayers for loved ones who are experiencing hardship, after which another round of songs is played, followed by the potluck. Probably because our hosts wanted to explain to us why there were not many musicians nor audience members in attendance, we were told that some time in the past, there arose a disagreement within the group, and a number of musicians left the jam, and never came back. The story made sense after I looked at a picture I had taken of a framed copy of an undated review of one of the concerts in the Music Barn, entitled “The Music Barn; Americana on a Red Dirt Road.” It is prominently displayed near the entrance of the auditorium, and mentions the big crowd that turned out back then, to see a great number of musicians playing bluegrass music. A far cry from today's situation, where a handful of musicians play mostly gospel music for a rather modest (but very appreciative) audience. Our super nice and gracious hosts implored us to help them to attract more people to the music barn. So if you are in the area on a Monday evening (the jam starts at 6PM, and is year round), call Fred Reece at 850-265-9034 to get instructions of how to reach his Music Barn.
