    A couple weeks ago it was announced that May 12th would be Due South’s grand opening.  Well that date is just around the corner.  This Saturday they will open the doors of the brewery and tasting room for all the South Florida folks that have been thirsting for the day of this Boynton Beach brewery to open.

    Expect the taps to have a number of Due Souths beers for you to sample in either 8 oz or 16 oz pours.  Also there will be some beers on tap from other Florida breweries like Tequesta, Cigar City and Swamp Head.  And as if that’s not enough, a number of food trucks will be present for you to get some grub in your guts.

    The festivities start at 3 pm and will be going until 11 pm.  And if that isn’t incentive enough to go (and it should be).  I will be behind the bar of the tasting room from 7 pm to close helping to pour the fine beers to the masses.  I know I’ll see a bunch of people there, so there is no reason to say I hope to see you out there.  See you Saturday!

    Funky Buddha Announces Details of Two Upcoming Collaborations

    If you are a member of the Funky Buddha’s snifter club then you probably know this already.  In their newsletter on Monday the Buddha gave the details on the upcoming collaboration beers that they brewed last week at Cigar City and then at Saint Somewhere.  I did write about the collaboration with Cigar City, also including Blue Jacket out of D.C., as well last week.

    The Buddha proudly announced that the Cigar City/Blue Jacket collaboration will draw it’s influence from movie theater food.  The not yet named imperial porter will contain influence from peanut M&M’s, licorice, popcorn and Raisinets.  The beer is scheduled to be released in June.

    Then the day after brewing that beer the Buddha gang headed up to Tarpon Springs to brew a collaboration with Bob Sylvester and Saint Somewhere.  This beer, named Citron Partie, is a saison brewed with lemon sage and white, red, green and black peppercorns.  This one is also scheduled for a June release.

    These both sound like absolutely awesome beers and can’t decide which I am more excited to try.  What about you Florida readers, are you looking forward to one over the other?

    Cigar City Dinner at The Living Room on Wednesday

    You are probably saying to yourself, “Damn, Mike really writes a lot about Cigar City events.”  You would be correct in that assumption.  I make no bones about it.  Cigar City is one of Florida’s premier breweries and I feel people will want to attend their events.  My friend Phil also works for them so there is that too.

    But this Wednesday Cigar City has another great event coming up with a beer dinner at The Living Room in Boynton Beach.  If you didn’t know by now, the Living Room is already has all Cigar City beers on tap all the time so it was only natural for them to host a dinner event in time.  As a patron of Living Room in the past I can also attest to their food.  This will be one that you don’t want to miss.

    I don’t have the full menu as of yet but I can tell you that of the 4 courses served that 3 of the accompanying beers will be Raspberry Saison, Peach IPA and Oatmeal Raisin Cookie.  And how much is this dinner?  Just a mere $35.  Really?  I don’t think you have an excuse now not to go.  I can tell you that I will certainly be there.

    Reserve your spot today, as seating is limited, by calling 561-742-4399.  And hopefully I’ll see you there.
