I’ve review other Florida brewed beers before but this one is truly local to me. Inlet Brewing is the only technical brewery in my county in nearby Jupiter, FL and I have had their brew before at fests. It is just now getting into stores so I picked up a six pack to help out. It is completely USDA and CCOF Organic certified as well. It is a really good straight forward red ale with flavor and good enough to be an excellent session beer. Being in South Florida we don’t really have a lot of brewers or beer culture. But Monk in the Trunk reminds me that we are getting there.
Overall Grade – A-

I went there once and had what they called an imperial porter. It wasn’t bad. I know they make a double IPA that I heard it good but they were out of it when I went. I’d be down to go again sometime.
