Images of the Southern Gulf Coast

The Gulf Coast is a beautiful and timeless place full of images the Old South and the new. Spanish moss, old Coke machines, and wetlands mix with modern industry and political changes and reawakened downtowns. From the juxtaposition of sleepy tourist towns to the NASA Space Program, there is always something to see and appreciate along the Gulf Coast. These are just a few random images that reminded of my home area.

Recommendation – Pensacola Bay Brew, Pensacola, FL.

Tasty local beers in a comfortable atmosphere with great prices.

I usually don’t do recommendations on this blog but during a recent stopover in Pensacola, FL, I ran across a really nice local brewery that I would like to recommend. The Pensacola Bay Brewery located in downtown Pensacola in the historic Seville District. As a matter of fact it’s right across the street from Seville Suare on the corner of South Adams and Zaragora St.

The brewery does not serve food but it does brew some wonderful handcrafted beers. I tried the Amber Ale and their Lager which you can also take home as a 6 pack. Both were tasty and very refreshing. It has a very pleasant outdoor patio area to drink and chat while right next door is the South Market where you can get food to go or right across the square is Hub Stacey, a wonderful local restaurant that’s been there for years. They have a full menu and also carry Pensacola Bay Brewery’s beers on tap.

It is a pleasant place to have a beer and unwind in a very interesting historical neighborhood. It’s run by an affable gentleman by the name of Carey Allen, who runs a tight ship and a very comfortable establishment. For sake of full disclosure, Carey is my nephew and I’m very proud of him.

So next time you’re in the Seville Historical Quarter in Pensacola, FL, please stop by Pensacola Bay Brewery and grab a pint or two. Tell them James sent you and you’ll have a wonderful time.
