Florida brewery list?

Sounds wonderful. A bit too far on a typical Disney trip but maybe in the future if we can come for an extended stay (or if we relocate one of these days).

I'm not sure if they offer it up your way or not, but consider picking up some and then deciding if you like it enough to go check them out. They're all around great guys and make an delightful product. I enjoy their coconut rum, which is coconutty without being too "suntan lotion-esque" if that makes sense.

I know exactly what you mean. When we were in Jamaica where the resort had a pool bar we always joked that the pool water tasted like a mix of suntan lotion and pina coladas.

We recently got back from our road trip down to Disney where we hit up 10 different breweries so thought I would share a few of the highlights here as some may be interested

First, in Florida we stopped by 2 breweries:
- Tequesta Brewery in Tequesta, FL. I hadn't heard of this one before but it was basically on the way and around lunch time so decided to stop. The brewery itself isn't much to look at (in a strip mall) and I only two beers, but they were both rather good: A black IPA and their Ono2 Double IPA with mango and papaya. I liked that for both the flavors in the blends added to each other rather than muting each other
- Funky Buddha Brewing in Oakland Park, FL. This was a really fun brewery, if a bit corporate feeling. A lot of good stuff on tap - the blueberry cobbler is really good and the Sticky Treats really did taste like Rice Krispy Treats. They had a Gruit they did in conjunction with Short's Brewing called Tip Ta Tip that was really good. Picked up a few bottles of the Sticky Treats and Barrel Aged Chocwork Orange as well


Other highlights:
- Fullsteam Brewery in Durham, NC. Really nice vibe with lots of people hanging out, playing games, etc. Also right next door to a good BBQ place which is nice. Good sour IPA called 9-Volt and a Basil Farmhouse ale called Southern Basil
- Terrapin Brewing in Athens, GA. Intersting set up in that in Georgia they have a rule the breweries can't sell beer for consumption on site ... so they sell you a glass which comes with coupons to exchange for free beer. Fun set up with nice outside area. Lots of kids and dogs running around and having fun. I'm not a huge peach fan but their Maggie's Peach Farmhouse Ale was quite good. Wake N Bake coffee stout was quite good - though the weather was too hot to really enjoy
- Wicked Weed Funkatorium in Asheville, NC. Wicked Weed has two location - 1 where they make regular ("Clean") brews and their funkatorium which is their fully dedicated sour and funky taproom and features ~1,200 barrels and 2 froders. So much excellent stuff here: Bombadille - Brett with Florida strawberries aged in French Oak, Black Angel - Black sour ale aged in bourbon barrels with tart Michigan cherries, etc. Side note, it was point out to me that between me and the barrels is a "hidden Mickey"


Ultimately here is what I came home with:
