Fairhope Brewing To Expand To Mobile

Fairhope Brewing Co., which has operated in Fairhope for 10 years, has announced an expansion with The Wingman, an experimental pop-up tasting room at 656 St. Louis Street in Downtown Mobile. The new venture will concentrate on experimental concepts and new flavor profiles of beers and seltzers, Fairhope Brewing said. While its best-selling beers like “Take the Causeway IPA” and “Cheap Sunglasses Golden Ale” will have a place at The Wingman, the new location will expand on the success that Fairhope Brewing has had with seltzers and flavored sour ales. These styles will be brewed onsite at the new location. Managing Partner Jim Foley explained, “The Wingman will be the place for us to try new things and introduce options that can’t be found anywhere else. This interactive model will allow us to gather feedback from our guests. When our patrons get enthusiastic about a particular offering, we will consider putting it into larger-scale distribution.” The Wingman is to open in early 2024 and feature indoor and outdoor seating. It will be available for private event reservations. While it will not have a kitchen, patrons may bring their own food or have food delivered.
