Doc’s Hop Shop has been open for several months now, but tomorrow they will celebrate their grand opening. Doc’s, formerly Gulf Coast Brewery, was purchased by father-son duo Steve and Rob Moehle.
The microbrewery is named “Doc’s” after co-owner Steve, who is a retired medical doctor.
Led by brewing expert, Mike Helf, Doc’s offers 12 different beers brewed in-house. Brews range from the Gulf Coast Blonde Ale to a Raspberry Wheat to a Deluna Coffee Stout, with a lager, pilsner, IPAs, and Hefeweizen in between.
Doc’s is also proud to offer 9 selections from two local brewers: Pensacola Bay Brewery and Perfect Plain, as well as beers from East to West Coast.
The beautiful facility is home to a large bar, a gorgeous pool & game room, and a covered deck. Two food trucks, Public Affairs Gastropub, and Di Da Vietnamese Cuisine, flank either side of the building. After placing your order at the trucks, you can find a spot inside, order a beer or soda and the food truck will bring your food to you.
When we stopped by co-owner Rob Moehle was preparing for the festivities tomorrow, April 29 at noon. The party will include 400 pounds of crawfish sold at $2.00 per pound (that is not a typo), $5 Doc-branded beers, a magic show at noon, and the East Hillbillies at 6 p.m. There’s plenty of indoor space and a covered deck in the event of rain.
Doc’s Hop Shop is conveniently located at 500 E. Heinberg Street near the corner of 10th and Heinberg, close to McGuire’s.
