Hello Floridians, I'm just popping in from the Great Lakes Forum. I will be down in the Sarasota area in a few weeks and have never been there before. I did a quick search but couldn't find much on here. Any suggestions on bottle shops good draught spots? Thanks in advance.
Hello FIB. Go to JDubs. Great beer, great people. As for bottle shops, Total Wine and ABC are the places to go.
Dave covered "everything" local. Yeah isn't much. Would also add Mr. Beerys bar. They have lots of events coming up in the next few weeks all of a sudden, so look for them on your favorite social network.
Hit Cycle Brewing in St. Pete and Green Bench. In Sarasota, JDubs, Big Top, Mr. Beerys, World of Beer, and Darwins (brewery in Bradenton). I think Motorworks is a fairly cool place to hang out as well.
OP... what dates will you be here? JDub's has an anniversary party on February 21. While this isn't a huge festival, there are some great guest breweries coming in: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1201967
My plane does not land in time for the JDUBS party but was thinking about going up to green bench that night to pick up Russian Mail Order brides.
