South Florida Beer Social Media Beer Tasting List
South Florida Beer Social Media Round 2 was put together and Emceed by Ed Roberts, Assistant Manager & “beer educator” from the Ft. Lauderdale Total Wine & More store and gracefully hosted by Chung of the Coffee District. The purpose of this event was to have local South Floridian craft beer lovers who are knowledgeable in social media and/or of the local beer scene to brainstorm on how to improve the awareness of craft beer in the South Florida region, which would ultimately make this a very desirable area for craft beer drinkers.
Besides brainstorming, the 20 people who attended contributed 35 beers to be tasted including some great homebrews and different vintages of the same beer. As it turned out the brainstorming took a back seat after we were about half way down the list.
Other local craft beer bars represented:
Ryan and Jim from The Funky Buddha Lounge & Phann from The Lodge.
Local Craft Beer Bloggers who participated:
John at Beer Review Dude
Nessie at The Beer Cook
John with his Clean Plate Charlie (he writes both a Blog and is seen in the print media with New Times as a food critic)
