    I remember that Blue used to like this place back in the day, and I could have sworn I'd been here…read morebefore, but in doing some searches for Broward County beer, I realized that I actually never made it. Sorry, Blue - but I'm here to rectify that. I think the location may have stopped me from going in the past - it's right by Park & Go, FLL, and Port Everglades. I came to the realization that whenever I'm in this area, it's because I'm taking a flight or going on a cruise. That's just what I associate it with, not necessarily hanging out at a brewery. That said, it's pretty easy to get to, with quick access off 595. Admittedly, this one is entirely on me. From looking at pictures, I knew this was an open air tap room, and I still went on one of the hottest, nastiest sunny August afternoons of the year. So yeah, it was hot. They have Big Ass Fans (tm) but they can only do so much. I'd probably rather go when the weather gets a bit more bearable, but I'm so hot, you know. Your mileage may vary. The taproom, tucked away within a marine warehouse area, is open air as I mentioned, and has an indoor and outdoor section with plenty of seating. It has a tiki bar-ish feel and is pretty chill. I don't have to feel weird about showing up in my beloved shorts and flip flops. In fact, it would probably be weird if I *didn't* show up in shorts and flip flops. The beer selection is part of what drove me to finally check this place out. Many breweries have a pretty narrow selection skewed toward IPA and fruited sours these days, and I'm the anachronism who gravitates more toward saison, strong Belgian blondes, crisp lagers and the occasional imperial stout. They had a Chardonnay oak-aged saison on tap called Ou'll Drink To That, so obviously I started out with that. Nice flavor, but the carbonation was not really where I needed it to be. The next one, Ice Breaker, was probably my big winner of the day. I know I took shots at breweries for having mostly IPAs, but this "Cold IPA," essentially an IPA fermented with lager yeast, was pretty nice, with good carbonation and structure. I would order that again. However, after that, I went with Rice Rice Baby, a rice lager that let me down, due to poor carbonation and some diacetyl (buttered popcorn) off-flavor. So, with a three beer sample size, I have a big winner, a big loser, and one kind of in the middle. In giving an overall rating, I'm going to give the winner more weight than the beer that wasn't good, and also take the fact that the two beertenders were both absolute delights, into consideration. More importantly, I would, and will, go back.

    I'm a frequent patron of this local Fort Lauderdale brewery. They place a lot of effort into…read morecollaborating with other small businesses to bring customers together in a great atmosphere. I appreciate they stick to what they are great at and bring in others that are great at what they do to combine for all types of events all year long. Sometimes they are "annual" events like the brew contest, and other times its something brand new. I recommend this spot on that context alone alone. Its difficult to keep things fresh at a brewery. My recent visit was another positive experience. We generally pick Wednesday's over other days, because it's Trivia night, and it draws a fun crowd. When it ends, a live band often starts on the outside patio, to continue the fun. They also had Kaminari Ramen serving some of the best ramen you'll ever taste. Hands down best part of the night was learning they had one of my favorites on tap. A pickled sour, Mr. Pickles was my Trivia partner for the evening. I'm pretty much addicted to all things pickled, so my review is 100% bias. All pickles aside, you should stop by any night of the week or weekend day. There is always something worthy of your time going on. The staff goes out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Add to it the robust selection of brews on tap, and a constant flow of tasty food truck and trailer eateries and you may have just found your new local watering hole. Once you are hooked, ask about their memberships. Totally worth the investment to have your own mug ready when you arrive and get a little extra vip treatment.
