Hopjacks in Pensacola, FL. boasts 112 different beers on tap with more than 120+ bottled selections, ranging in price from around $2.50 to as high as $9.75 for specialty beers.  Hopjacks is notorious for it's ever evolving beer menu due in part to their purchasing power and professional relationships with breweries across the country.  It is not uncommon for them to have "one-off" products drop-shipped and made available to their clientele.  Due to these reasons they update their beer menu once a week to make sure everything is current.

Daily specials include Mega-Mondays (half-off any 16" pizza, dine-in only), $1 Off American Craft Bottles/Cans Wednesdays, Adult Swim Thursdays ($3 Sweet Water Brewing core brands; 1/2 off any martini, Belgian Fries and Sweet Potato Fries), their (in)famous 3 Dolla Holla Tuesdays (practically everything behind the bar is $3, some items $4, some get no discount) and the incredible draft deal of Sucker-free Sundays (ALL draft selections are half off).
