Fausto's on Fleming at Southard usually has some craft beers in stock. Not a lot, but a few. You *can* buy beer-to-go at The Porch, though. If you are on Old Town Trolley's HOHO, stop 4 will be 1.5 blocks from The Porch. When you get off the trolley and stand facing the La Concha/Wine O bar, turn right and head northwest. You'll cross Eaton and then you'll be walking past Berkshire Hathaway Realty, The Oldest House and Caroline's Cafe. The next corner will be Caroline. Turn left and *immediately* head another 45* left into the garden walkway of the Victorian at the corner of Caroline and Duval. That's the Porch. Up the steps and in the door on the left. The bar will be right in front of you, and their taps are listed on a constantly updated video screen to the left, behind the bar. Their bottles and cans should also be listed on the screen right in front of you, above the bar when you walk in. If you need to sell your traveling partners on going in, there's a restroom in there too, to the right as you come in the door. The air conditioning is usually pretty good as well. Lost Weekend liquor store and Mr. Cheapee's liquor store are across the street from The Porch, on Caroline, right next door to each other. Pick up a bottle Key West Legal Raw and Unfiltered rum if you can. It's pretty darned good.
Stop 2 is really close to Schooner Wharf Bar. Stop 3 is a block from Sloppy Joe's (if that's your kind of thing. It's not mine) and two blocks from The Porch. You can go see Robert the Doll at Stop 9.
Just wanted to say thanks again! Turned out the tour wasn't hop on hop off but we walked around a lot afterwards. We did make it to the Porch, had some drinks there and bought 6 cans to take back to the ship. Great spot! Loved the decor, lots of Star Wars. They had wine that my sister liked and something mild for my Coors Light drinking friend, that she loved. Didn't make it for beer anywhere else, didn't have enough time.
Went to Pirate Republic brewery again in Nassau, love that place. Before the cruise picked up some cans at MIA and at an ABC liguor that had a pretty good selection and let me take beers from 6 packs in the cooler. Used the beer mug a lot on the ship. Also noticed they had a Utopias on display in Palo.
