    Heading out to the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area for a few days at the end of the month into beginning of July. Any fun stuff/releases going on around that time or any breweries I need to check out (besides jwb & fb)? I'm also trying to see if I can squeeze in a day out in the Tampa area to stop by Cycle, CC, and AC. Any other places I should visit?

    Food stop suggestions are welcomed as well. Would also be down to meet up if anyone wants to grab a beer.

    Lastly, where can I purchase some shippers in the event that I need to ship some stuff back home?

    Cheers!

    in Ft Lauderdale/Broward area besides Funky Buddha I recommend Flagler Village beers available at Brass Tap Bar Fort Lauderdale and LauderAle Brewery in Fort Lauderdale. In Palm Beach County I recommend Barrel of Monks in Boca and Funky Buddha Lounge in Boca (different beers than at the production brewery in Oakland Park), and also Devour Brewing Co and Due South Brewing in Boynton Beach. If you go to J.Wakefield in Miami you could also do Concrete Beach and Wynwood Brewing in same part of town.

    Favorite craft beer bar is Laser Wolf in Fort Lauderdale.

    For food, give me some types of food/more specifics and I can provide recommendations.

    Enjoy your trip!

    MIA Brewing was really good when I visited last summer.

    What's it like a 4 hour drive? I'd be staying the night in Tampa to make it a little more worthwhile. I live in a part of TX where it's at least a 4 hour drive to get anywhere worthy of visiting so a 4 hour drive isn't so bad.

    Piggy-backing off this post, because I'm heading down in a month. I went to FB Brewery location a year ago and really enjoyed it. Beer was of course awesome and the food was really tasty too. Is there any reason to hit up the Lounge in Boca over the brewery tap room? Thanks

    I appreciate the info. Thanks for the recommendations, man. I'll defintely hit up a few of the spots you mentioned. As for food, I'm pretty much open to anything. Nothing too upscale/fine dining. Looking for a little more casual/laid back places. Would love to try some good Latin and seafood while I'm out there.

    Also, is the drive up to Jupiter for Civil Society worth taking or am I better off staying in the Fort Lauderdale area and hitting up the breweries/bars in that area? I've had a few offerings from CS and really enjoyed them.

    Cheers!

    According to the first post by @jcb7472 , they have different beers at FB Lounge than they do at the brewery taproom. Not sure if that's the extent of it or not though.

    Yes, that's correct- different beers on tap at the lounge. Generally, more sours and special small batch releases. I usually think the lounge has a better tap list but it's too far for me to drive 35 minutes to East Boca when I am 15 min from production tap room in Oakland Park. You can view location both tap lists online.

    Cool, that's what it looked like from viewing their taplists. I'll be in Jupiter so it's worth considering. Thanks a lot!
