Coastal County Brewing Has Reopened

Coastal County Brewing Has Reopened

Coastal County Brewing in Pensacola, Florida has announced its reopening as the state begins to return to normal during the COVID-19 pandemic. Full details on the brewery's plans are below.


The anticipation for the grand opening of a new, independently owned brewery in Pensacola, FL was especially exciting for the area’s residents.  Coastal County Brewing Company introduced a concept completely unique in this growing craft beer community.  This is a two and a half-acre, destination-style brewery that provides a one-stop shop for its visitors.  Coastal County offers a wide array of hand-crafted beverages, creative pub-style cuisine, games and festivities that can be enjoyed indoors as well as out.  Even an on-site dog park ensures that every member of the family is in for a good time.

However, only two short days after opening the doors, this small business faced an unexpected disruption.  Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, government orders forced the closure of the city’s bars and restaurants for all public consumption.  The newest brewery to hit the scene now had to transition completely to take-out sales, only to be offered through curbside pick-up.  Following such a brief introduction to this community, shifting focus to get the name and reputation out to the public presented an unexpected challenge.  Despite this, Coastal County continues to weather the storm, and keep its staff intact.  The take-out sales of food and beverages has allowed this business to pay its employees and continue operating in accordance with the new constraints.

But now, the tide is shifting, and the city is beginning to re-open its doors.  That means it is time for Coastal County to transition once again.  Business will finally be able to resume in a way that closer resembles what was originally intended.  Customers will be invited to enjoy the property’s many amenities while drinking the best beer, cider, mead, and hard seltzers that are offered locally.  The owner, Fred Thibodeaux works closely with his team to develop new flavors and specialties to keep taste buds from getting bored.  Additionally, the brewery also provides sixteen different core beers that are always available so customers can get their favorites.

In the kitchen, the house chef Shaun Golden, is creating new takes on some of this area’s favorite dishes.  He offers a core menu with options that are always available for the delight of repeat customers.  To keep things fresh, he is serving up both daily and weekly specials that incorporate current themes and promotions.  Locals have plenty of palatable options to please their preferred tastes, no matter the mood or festivity.  Dishes that compliment the brewery’s beverage selection are always readily available to fuel hours of outdoor fun and games. 

The summer is heating up, and this small business is raring to go.  Built by lovers of the outdoors, for lovers of the outdoors, Coastal County is sure to be a favorite for this area’s preferred lifestyle.  The growing commitment of this city’s preference for craft beer can now rely on a new contributor to provide some showstoppers.  Coastal County Brewing is re-opening its doors and inviting everyone to check it out for themselves.  The committed staff anxiously awaits meeting the locals and making some new friends and regulars.  Once you try it for yourself, you are guaranteed to be hooked.
