Breweries We Visited
The Wingman Brewery Company
Wingman Brewery, a brewery situated in downtown Mobile, Alabama, is an experimental endeavor that is a part of Fairhope Brewing Company‘s portfolio. Wingman Brewery is popular for its unique and delicious beers and seltzers. They have a variety of flavors that many people enjoy. The brewery has an open and inviting vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends and enjoying a cold beer or seltzer. They often have live music and events and on the Thursday we visited, there was trivia that we joined half way through.
Make sure to sample their unique and distinctive brews to fully immerse yourself in the vibrant and dynamic craft beer culture that Mobile has to offer. We had a beer tasting that included our choice of 4 beers and seltzers.
- Moscow Mule Seltzer
- Sex on The Beach Fruited Sour
- Wolfman Raspberry Rhubarb Sour
- Blue Steel Blueberry Lemon Sour
- (Separately from flight) Pickleback Pickle Sour
- A strangely satisfying sour for those that like pickle flavor, but only I enjoyed it 😀
