Thread: Say it ain't so...Beer sales at the Pier?

Yes 8)
Someone (Bubba?) wrote he was dragging some old nasty cigs on bottom catching bluefish on bottom when that big flounder ate one.
Perfect timing, and he did it without a net :headbang:

Hmmm... maybe he was drinking... oke1:

There would have to be a quite nice paycheck for me to work as a bouncer for a pier where people are allowed to have weapons such as fillet knives and gaffs. Combine that with liquid courage and some attitudes and it's disaster waiting to happen.

Gulf Shores City Council will vote next week on a proposal that would allow beer sales at Gulf State Pier. What do you think? Good idea, bad idea. I'll be doing a story on this today tell me what you think about it.

Beer on the pier, Yay or Nay?

IMO drinking while fishing on the octi, is not a problem now, because its a long walk to the bath house. As long as they dont build a bath room at the end of the pier, it will not become one. And if its only sold, at the pier entrance, most will not make that trip many times a day. I enjoy beer as much as anyone, but I am in agreement with most on the forum, a bunch of drunks would ruin, the reason most love the pier.

I see no reason why this should be a problem because drinking will not be allowed past the gate.

GULF SHORES, Alabama --
On Gulf State Pier you can enjoy nature while casting a line and hopefully catching a nice fish or two. But you maybe able to catch something else here soon. "We would be serving no hard alcohol just beer and wine and we'll probably gonna add the machines for frozen drinks." State park director Lisa Larroway has applied for a special license to serve alcohol at the parks pier.

The proposal has drawn mixed reactions. Wilson Gregory is a regular on the pier. "Every other pier on the gulf coast has alcohol allowed to go out and I fish every one from Panama City to here. Never had a problem with it."

"It's water and hooks and I don't think the two go together with alcohol," says Sharon McLaughlin fishing off the pier.

"We're not trying to cause any type of issues," says Larroway. "We really want to do what all the other establishments on the beach are offering."

If the sale of alcohol is approved at the state pier it would be confined to an area under the pavilion near the dock store. You wouldn't be able to take it out onto the pier. But for most people we talked to that doesn't matter.

"Are they going to keep the people under the pavilion after they drink or are they going to let em come fish," asks McLaughlin. "If they are going to let them fish I don't think that's a good idea."

Bob McGrady says he didn't like the idea of alcohol sales at the pier but it wouldn't keep him away. "Probably not. I'd probably come anyway but I like it like it is."

Larroway wants to model the pier after other establishments in the area that cater to family's and still offer alcohol. "Tourism is growing in Gulf Shores and we would like for it to expand from downtown Gulf Shores over to us."

The Gulf Shores city council is set to vote on the license next Monday and there is a public hearing on the issue before the vote. The meeting set for 5 o'clock in Gulf Shores at city hall
