Good evening all,

My office is sending me to suffer in Miami, FL for a weekend. Oh the horror. I don't know how I will ever survive. Ok... joking aside. My normal practice is to hit a local beer store and try to find something local and really good. Now, one of the good things is that I can finally hit some of the beer stores in St. Louis (or actually Granite City) on my way back Sunday. But what I am interested is if anyone knows of some good local labels that I should hunt down while in Miami. Suggestions?

Hopefully some of the fellow Aleums can help you out ... I've never known Miami to be much of a beer destination, but there's bound to be something worth while. Have fun out there!
I keep asking people who go down to spring break to bring me back some local beer; but I don't think there are any.
Here is some info I found. Haven't been to any of these myself but it may be of interest to you.


Abbey Brewing Co
1115 16th St
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Titanic Brewery & Restaurant
5813 Ponce De Leon Blvd
Coral Gables, FL 33146

Titanic does a great job at bringing out the inner beer-drinker in me.
They have a Porthole Sampler with six 5 oz. glasses of their different beers for $4.50. It's a fun idea, but I doubt my body could ever handle that much beer…

Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant
1201 Brickell Ave
#250
Miami, FL 33131

Greetings one and all. Miami survived me! I mean I survived Miami. It’s an interesting area. You can really tell the Latin American influence in the area. There are a lot of things that are posted bilingually. The definition of “local” beer includes some type of cerveza. Even in the stores where there wasn’t a language barrier it was hard for me to find something that I would truly enjoy.

However, a MAJOR thank you to ChipperDave. Thanks to Dave, on Saturday early evening I ended up driving due south from the hotel where I was working in search of the Titanic Brewery & Restaurant. It was a nice drive – only about 4.2 miles from the hotel. It’s down in the area just south of the University of Miami area. I had the Porthole Sampler along with their ribs. Nothing outstanding but it was all good.

Thanks for the info and the feedback.
Glad it worked out for you and you found one of the breweries down there.
Time to revisit this discussion. Although this time I'm not going to Miami. I headed to the opposite corner of the country - Seattle. I visited the beer mapping project (http://beermapping.com/maps/citymaps.php?m=seattle) and fully realize that Seattle is a beer Mecca. There are a lot of interesting things out there. However, I have never been out there and I'm curious as to what my fellow Aleuminati this is the pinnacle of beer in the Seattle area.
