Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 166: St. Augustine Experiences, the Craft Beer Tour
Florida Podcast Network's All Shows Feed
For this week's episode, we are in the nation's oldest city, St Augustine. It has no shortage of tours to take, from the near ubiquitous trams to an overwhelming plethora of ghost tours each evening. Very few take a look at both the history of the city and the amazing things that are going on right now. St. Augustine Experiences is different. Their founder, Alex Drywa, has crafted a number of fantastic tours that obviously look at the history, but also take a look at some of the amazing things that are happening right now. One of those tours looks exclusively at beer, as St. Augustine has been...

info_outlineA couple weeks ago was the latest iteration of the North Miami Brewfest, put on by and benefiting the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Florida International University. This year, the popular festival was at NoMI Village--a wonderfully designed, relaxed event space in the heart of North Miami Beach, just off Interstate 95. As usual, this is one of the best beer festivals in the state of Florida and had no shortage of amazing food and beer to enjoy. For today's episode, we reached out to a number of different groups in attendance to understand a little bit about who they were and what they brought to the event. I was very happy to speak to both La Birra Bar (winner of the best food award) and Rocketeer Beer (winner of the best beer award) at the event. We also spoke with Uncommon Path, Johnny Cuba, La Tropical, plus our friends at the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Development and the Bartender's Guild at that same school. You'll hear some familiar voices and some you've never heard before; but, as always, it was a great time and a wonderful event to be at. Listen in...
