Hey all! I will be in the Orlando area next month for a few days. It isn't a beer trip necessarily, but with me, every trip turns into one. I have a couple questions to make the most out of my time there. What are your favorite taprooms, bars, and bottle shops in the area? What are your favorite Florida beers that I will likely be able to find in a typical liquor store? Are there any top notch out-of-state breweries that Florida gets that Minnesota does not? Thanks for your help.

I was just there 2 weeks ago along with Tampa. Redlight Redlight is awesome. Smiling Bison has some good food and beers. TAPS is a cool place. Cask and Larder is also awesome.
There is an entire subforum that includes Florida threads. This one will most likely be moved there shortly. Local people will be able to help answer your questions most efficiently. As for your last question: most Floridians will have no greater knowledge of Minnesota distribution than you do of theirs. You'll have to do your own homework. This will help. http://www.seekabrew.com/distro/index.html
Knightly's a great bottle shop. Gnarly Barley is on of my favorites, Tap N Grind, and Redlight Redlight are fantastic as well.
