    My parents are heading to Vero Beach for a wedding in a month, I live in Ohio so I'm making a list of beers they should bring home (driving) and places for them to hit while in the area. So far I have the usual suspect Jai Alai, as well as Marshall Zukhov's stout and Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee if they can find it. This is where I need help tho, what am I missing?? Thanks in advance BA's.

    You can find Jai Alai but you won't find Zhukov or Funky Buddha.

    I've been a an ABC Liquor in Vero and it was solid. Tell them to check out those stores there's a few in the area.

    They can get a lot of CCB can beers: Jai Alai, Maduro, Hotter than Helles, Invasion, Florida Cracker. Can get some Terrapin beers, Due South, Swamp Head. Depending if they are willing to stop at Swamp Head, CCB, Rapp, TBC, etc.

    If they come accross an ABC Fine wine they may find some Tampa Bay Beer Bus cans as well as other FL beers.

    Cool, thanks. I occasionally can get Hopsecutioner in PA and love it. Are Rapp and Swamp Head hard to find outside of the brewery/tap room?

    Added to the list! Thanks

    You can find some Swamphead around, not Rapp. The ABC on east 60 is the better one in Vero.

    I live in Vero Beach. ABC east on Miracle Mile is your best bet. CCB Jai Alai, Tocobaga, Humidor IPA, Cubano Espresso, and the regulars are there. I think I saw a bottle of Southern Slice and Jurata in the cooler. It is right next to a few Swamp Head's. I think Sciaenhops and Saison du Swamp. Plenty of common Terrapin a few Due South, Tampa Brew Bus and Intuition cans.
