Pensacola Song (and Official Music Video)

We loved our time in Pensacola! Biking, bucket lists, and beer. That was our first big trip in our RV, and because of that Pensacola will always have a special place in my heart.

PS: I’m not a professional singer or musician. Be kind.

Lyrics to the Pensacola Song

VERSE 1:
It’s that
Time of year
To head down south
And drink some beer

Pack the RV
Grab the sandals
And take a trip
To the panhandle

To the beach
Let’s lay in the sun
Sip on a bushwacker
With coconuts and Rum

Let’s take a stroll around
Pensacola beach and town
Park the RV
At the Campground

We’ll bring the bikes
We’ll bring the hounds.
I promise to buy the
Second round

VERSE 2:
It’s time
I cannot wait
For the western gate
To the Sunshine State

The Five Flags fly
The Blue Angels too
Catch a pop fly
From the Blue Wahoos.

Bike the ocean
With the Pelicans.
Learn/ some history
About Fort Pickens

We’ll take a hike
To old battlegrounds
I promise to get the
Next round

VERSE 3:
It’s time
For the Big Lagoon or
Hiking Tarkiln Bayou
All afternoon

Graffiti Bridge
Is artful fun
And so is hunting
All pelicans.

Let’s rock and roll around
Pensacola beach and town
And meander though
Our favorite campground

We’ll ride the bikes
And walk the hounds.
I promise not to get
Turned around.

VERSE 4:
It’s time
For a toast
To Ye Old Brothers
And the Gulf Coast

A Little Madness
The Big Top
Perfect Plain and Beardless
Are worth a stop

So grab a pint
From Odd Colony
St. Michaels, Spar,
Or the Coastal County

Let’s try all the beer around
Pensacola beach and town
Take some back
To the campground.

We’ll light a fire
Crack stout or brown.
I promise this is the
Last round.

Classy Beer Awards - Pensacola Edition

During out short stay in Pensacola in February 2021, we visited nearly a dozen craft breweries. That’s a lot of beer, folks. Aside from brewing some pretty darn good beer, each brewery had its own unique vibe.   Which one(s) would you go to if you were ever in the area? To help you decide, we put together the “Classy Beer Awards” based solely on our non-expert opinions and first impressions. Basically, the idea is to just talk about what stood out to us about each brewery and pick a “overall” winner.   We realize others may have different experiences and different opinions. And, keep in mind this is all in good fun. All of the breweries are winners in our opinion.   We also look forward to buying a few more rounds next time we are in the Pensacola area to see if our our first impressions change.

I had an equal amount of fun making the award itself.  Seriously, folks, you won’t want to miss the first couple of minutes of this video about the award.

Here’s a list of the venues we visited (in alphabetical order).  I’ve included “time codes” in the video so that viewers can jump to specific breweries if desired. But again, you probably don’t want to miss the intro.
