Cigar city. And red brick brewing is from ga but only available in the SE
You have to get a variety from Cigar City. They are really putting out some amazing beer. Swamp Ape is a pretty good IPA from Fl, not sure if you get that where your at. Same with Orange Blossom Pilsner.

Cigar city Jai Alai IPA, humidor series, and brown ale are all great.

Holy mackerel- panic attack &Mack in black are great Orlando brewing is an organic brewery right in the downtown area that's well worth being mentioned as well. CCB just put their Munich helles in cans.
Cigar City makes a humidor series IPA that is the best. Hard to find right now though.

+5....Definitely get some Cigar City. It is world class beer.

HUH....why on earth would you buy a nationally distributed brewery when you could buy a superior brewery's beers that are only regionally distributed?
Also, 120 is not good beer, way out of balance and in the wrong way, alcohol is far too present.
Cigar City FTW

Thats shocking to me, DFH is always so easy to find. Oh well, id take surly over DFH any day of the week. 60 and 90 are good beers, and 120 is worth a try.

I count 26 states on there.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.

Tried the 60 minute, I thought it was exceptional. Nothing amazing but a good IPA to be sure. Have two 90s and two 120s. Will store one 120 for at least a year. Drinking the other shortly for kicks.

well if you were coming down to south Florida, i would tell you to stop by Big Bear Brewery for some of the best beer in the state.
...but if you're staying around Orlando, Cigar City's Jai Alai (pronounced hi-lie) is one of my favorite IPAs. also, if you can find anything by Tequesta Brewing Company, it is definitely worth a try. their Der Chancellor Kolsch is incredible and is especially refreshing in this Florida heat!

Oh, just remembered. Pick up a few Highland beers if you go back out. They are located in Asheville, NC, but only distribute in the Southeast.
The Mocha Stout, Oatmeal Porter and Highland Gaelic are all good beers!

I will be down there in the next few months to pick up more. The Jai Alai was great, super hoppy. After the pour it reminded me of my home brewed ales, low head, not much retention, great lacing. Carbonation that streamed slowly from the center of the glass. Must be because it was also bottle conditioned?
I know it isn't a home brew, but I go to Minnesota 2-3 times a year and have to take several cases of Yuengling for the family and friends. It's no where near as good as what I brew for myself, but a lot better than most big bland brews.
