    A couple that we are friends with are vacationing in Florida and are going to drive, so I have an opportunity to pick up some new beer. Can anyone recommend some breweries in Florida? I'm mostly looking for something that is not distributed in Arkansas. Anything from Florida on the top 250 list? Also looking for any good bottle shops in Orlando. I'm not sure what route they are taking, there may be an opportunity from Georgia or Alabama too! Thanks in advance, Lightman

    Cigar City, Funky Buddha, Seventh Sun, Peg's Cantina, J. Wakefield's, and Cycle are what I would be looking/going out of my way for. Some of them will be hard to find outside of their respective brewery/beer pub.

    The same 4 or 5 major bottle shops in Orlando are listed in several threads in here. Some have google maps directions.. I'll toss in the suggestion to stop at any large newer ABC liquor stores you pass on your way in and around town as they have stepped up their game as to Craft Availability lately..

    Well, my friends returned from their vacation. I scored 8 different beers from Cigar City, and a few others that I never even heard about. He is a Bud Light Guy, so he did not really know what to look for, but I was pleased with his haul. Thanks for all of your suggestions, Lightman
