Hi everybody,
Heading to the west coast of Florida for a family vacation. I may or may not be able to work in actual brewery visits, but definitely want to grab local brews. I normally go for beers that are mildly malty, balanced or mildly hoppy, but have recently enjoyed some APAs and IPAs since they weren't super bitter (despite their IBU ratings).
We will be staying on Siesta Key, but making a day trip to Crystal River, as well as visiting Myakka River State Park and Caspersen Beach in Venice. We might head up to Ft De Soto in St Pete one day, but that decision will be made later.
Cigar City seems to be the "don't miss" spot, from what I have read. Is their Jai Alai pretty bitter or a more balanced IPA? How are their other selections?
Is Copp Brewery in Crystal River worth the stop?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
