Many members of Law Tigers, the national network of motorcycle lawyers who ride, enjoy the scenery of Southern Alabama, so we’ve included our favorite routes for you here. Let’s start in Mobile.
Breweries Down the Byway
The Coastal Connection Scenic Byway takes you around the Mobile Bay area. Starting at the Mobile Welcome Center, take I-10 to State Route 193 south to Dauphin Island. Take the Mobile Bay Ferry to SR 180, then head north again on SR 59, turning west on U.S. 98 until reaching I-10 to head back to Mobile.
Along the way, stop at the Pelican Pub or Islanders Restaurant on Dauphin Island to grab a bite to eat while you wait for the ferry so you can enjoy a pint or two at one of many popular breweries later. Once you get off the ferry, you can visit:
- Big Beach Brewing on 24th Ave. in Gulf Shores
- BierShack Taproom on AL-59 in Foley
- Fairhope Brewing Company on Nichols Ave. in Fairhope
- Old 31 Brewing Co. on Old Hwy 31 in Spanish Fort
- Old Majestic Brewing on St. Louis St. in Mobile
- Braided River Brewing Company on St. Louis St. in Mobile
- Iron Hand Brewing, LLC, on State St. in Mobile
- Oyster City Brewing Company on Government St. in Mobile
Some of these breweries offer a restaurant, while others have food trucks. Don’t miss out on the most popular Gulf Coast dishes while trying their custom brews.
