Part of what makes visiting a local brewery’s taproom so special is the draft lineup: there’s usually something on tap you can’t find in stores, or many of the local craft beer bars, for that matter. But what about when you want to take some of it home? Well, that’s what bottle releases are for. They don’t happen

In case you didn’t know, May is National Burger Month, and May 28 is National Burger Day. South Florida has a ton of burger spots. And finding the best — the juiciest, the biggest, the most gaudily topped ones — isn’t easy. Some are exotic meats that can be ordered with mix-and-match gourmet toppings…
You know what they say: April showers bring May flowers — and in South Florida, a few more restaurants and bars too. Spring ushered in more than warming temperatures.

It wasn’t an April Fool’s joke, but it felt like it for hundreds of people who spent Saturday, April 1, at the Fort Lauderdale Pizza Festival. The inaugural event, which took place at the city’s War Memorial Auditorium, was successful in drawing a large and eager crowd, many of whom stood in line for hours without receiving any food or drinks. In reaction, dozens of attendees swarmed the festival’s Facebook page Sunday to report their experience. Numerous public posts to the page, including some pictured below, have since been deleted.
A few years ago, if you were heading out to the bar for an ice-cold beer, you’d be hard-pressed to find a locally brewed one on tap anywhere in the tri-county area.

Still, all the facts and figures become insignificant when you consider the big picture: Something special is happening here.
