In nearby Santa Rosa Beach, the Idyll Hounds brewery is marking 12 years with Houndfest 12, an afternoon of beer releases, food trucks, games and a stein hoist. This year’s party has a nautical theme.
A VIP ticket gets you unlimited pours, early access at 11 a.m., a commemorative glass and a T-shirt, and only a small number are being released. The listed contacts are katie@idyllhoundsbrewingcompany.com and 850-231-1138. Arrange a ride home if you’ll be drinking.
Confirm before you go: Visit South Walton’s event listing listed this event as scheduled when we checked on October 19, 2026, ten days after Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin. Most of the area is open again, but recovery work continues in spots, so check the organizer’s page for last-minute changes before you head out.
