So many South Florida locals have never tried locally brewed beer for reasons that range from sticking to known, tried-and-true brands to not being aware that the area is so rich in local craft beers. There are so many reasons to explore the world of local beer from supporting local industry to experiencing artfully crafted beer. Most local beer options will typically be artisanal beers offering wonderful flavor palettes, original tastes and very high-quality productions.
