Miami's Best Eats and Drinks This Week: Free Beer, Somm Slam, and Food-stagram

How bad can Monday really be when there's free beer? Grovetoberfest is back with a tasting tonight at MIA Brewing. If you're in the mood for something more intimate, head to Terrazza at the Shore Club for its Chef's Table series. 

Start your Tuesday morning with the Redbury's new breakfast menu. Nosh on Ms. Cheezious, Hip Pops, and Cheeseburger baby at Miami Beach's Food Truck and Music Fest this Wednesday. And end your week with a boozy iPhoneography class at the Mandarin Oriental or Uvaggio Wine Bar's second Somm Slam.
