Summer Brewery Tour: Old Coast Ales & Ancient City Brewing (St. Augustine)
When many people think of Florida, Orlando and Miami are the first cities that come to mind, but surprisingly, St. Augustine has a huge tourist population.

Simply put, whether […]

March 8, 2014, is a date that will live in craft beer infamy as the day that Hunahpu’s Day nearly died. In only its fourth year, the 2014 Hunahpu’s Day was supposed to be one of the “best” rare and exotic beer fests, not only in Florida, but in the world. After growing from a relatively […]

Fire and Oak Grill…Jersey City
At the most inopportune time, I’ve gone out of town for what could be a life changing opportunity (more on that later), and as usual, I set out from my hotel, on foot, to find a Taphaus that should have been, according to Google maps, an 11 minute walk. However, I’m a Florida girl and […]
