Reviews Eastpoint Beer Company

Local microbrewery that also makes good pizzas. Beer: A good number of their taps were set for their Octoberfest beers as their party was the next day. Overall the beers that we had were high quality but not adventurous. Food: PIZZA! They serve thin crust style pizzas, perfect to go with beer. The pizzas have a nice gooey center that transitions to a crispy outer edge. Atmosphere: Great views overlooking the water. They are as dog friendly as you can be for a restaurant.

On our way back from Apalachicola, we stopped in here for a flight and to try the pizza that people have told us about. This place was great! Now part of my opinion here is based on the fact that it had rained for going on three days so to see the sun, while sitting by the water, AND accompanied by beer and pizza? Perfection. The beers we tried were all good; in order from good to great: blond, salted caramel stout, red ale, irish stout. We even ordered a pint of the Irish stout and the red after our flight. The pizza was great and also, the right price. Garlic knots were fantastic and two dollars cheaper if purchased with a pizza. This is a great little place to sit outside and chat or just appreciate the bay. Will return!

Eastpoint Beer Company was the fourth brewery we visited on a trip to the Forgotten Coast. We were there the evening after we arrived, on Mother's Day, because everything else was packed out, though I had intended a visit anyway during our stay. We went because of their pizza reviews as well as my own desire to sample their beers. Interestingly enough, we had been in the area mid summer of 2020 and while I knew of Oyster City in Apalachicola this wasn't anywhere on my radar. Talking with the bartender, they got hit really hard by Hurricane Michael after opening in 2018 and then COVID was another smash in the face, so they really are just getting back up to where they want to be over the last year or so. That said, while they have a small number of beers (that are ever rotating, as was pointed out to me) what they have is quite delicious. Honestly, while the other brewery touts their Gold Medal win for their core Helles, I though ECB's Fishin' Beer Light Ale was head and shoulders better. I'm not really much for sours, but to do two flights we also tried the two sours on their board. I honestly liked both of them, though probably would prefer to have a 8 oz pour rather than a full pint. As a plus, their pizza is wonderful, made out to one side in their "food boat", an old fishing boat dry docked next to the building. They were pretty crowded when we got their (party of ten) and we ordered three 16" pizzas, so it took awhile with just one chef doing the cooking, but that was understandable. As I said at the time, good pizza, good beer, hard to ask for anything more!

Beer, pizza, live music and our hostess Jess were all fantastic. Can't wait to go back.

I find myself torn between gatekeeping and recommending everyone visit. It's such a little gem. Taking a risk that a glowing review might contribute to one more pretentious Yankee stopping by (which stand out like a sore thumb in the few negative reviews; "only 6 beers on tap, burnt pizza, closed dock boo hoo" ), I gotta say that this is an oasis on the forgotten coast. Solid beers, pizza, and views pale only in comparison to the hospitality. That was Jessica's department and she's such a natural host she made a 5 person job look easy. Even with puppers to pet and pelicans to peer at, the highlight of my last visit was watching my 4 year old practice his casting while I sipped a Dowds Dry Irish.
