Emerald Coast Brewing Co.

Emerald Coast Brewing Co. started as a project when an unlikely team of two Marine veterans , two nurses, two engineers and two service dogs, who all shared a passion of quality craft brews (ok, so not so much the dogs but they do enjoy waste product treats) and genuine social atmospheres. As a team we wanted to create a community-centric environment in which we can share these passions with others in the Panama City community. Starting small, our group of unconventional and passionate home brewers is working to create quality brews with a goal of branching out for creative recipes for brews, meads and seltzers. We're striving to create a variety of deliciously crafted beverages that can bring people together.

We will feature a large range of craft brews while partnering with local food trucks to bring new and inviting dining options every night.
We aim to promote community health through charitable events and business partnerships.
Promote a community inclusive atmosphere for all who walk through our doors.

Sarah, Owner
Sarah has been an ICU nurse for 9 years. In March of 2020, Sarah found herself responding as a Covid crisis ICU nurse in NYC. She followed the pandemic over the next year through Arizona, South Carolina, Michigan and California. In an effort to stay connected to loved ones while quarantining, Sarah engaged with family through video homebrew sessions. During this time Sarah's brothers aided her knowledge of home brewing skills and together they collaborated on recipes and ideas. Conceptualizing plans for Emerald Coast Brewing Co. gave Sarah purpose and an outlet for productivity in isolation downtime. Having conducted extensive amounts of research regarding functional designs and marketing strategies, her dream is to create an accessible, community driven brewery with friends and family.
