    My father-in-law has been living in Florida for the winter and is coming back to the Northeast at the end of the month. I want to ask him if he can bring a few Florida locals up for me, but I'm not sure what to ask for.

    Florida folks: What do you have down there that's worth hauling 1,000 miles, and that can be attained relatively easily (carried in most liquor stores, for example... I don't want to send him on a wild goose chase)?

    If region matters, he's in the Vero Beach area. Thanks for any tips!

    If you like fruited sours, Tripping Animals makes good ones, w/ and w/o lactose.

    I know this tends not to be a helpful answer, but I like most styles most of the time if the beer is good. I drink a lot of IPAs and I like big stouts, but enjoy a good Marzen, Pilsner, saison, witbier, browns, alts. I've never found a Bock I like, but if there's some must-have can't-miss Bock down there, I'll give it a go.

    Walking Tree Brewery is local in Vero and has some good brews. Civil Society's IPAs are really good but may be harder to find.

    Awesome, I'll check out both. Thanks!

    Is Civil Society brewery only? Although their website looks like maybe they ship...
