Florida’s Best Beer Bars / Gastropubs

I have a teacher friend/cousin from Arkansas who will be visiting Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Orlando, West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, the Keys, Naples, Ft. Meyers, Sarasota and St. Pete/Tampa/Dunedin.

He’s looking to try as many Florida-brewed beers as possible. He doesn’t want to hit too many breweries because he just doesn’t have the time. Florida’s booming nowadays. He’d rather try ten different Florida-brewed beers at one stop than stopping at ten different Florida breweries.

He’s also looking for the places that get the good out-of-state stuff that the other places in the area aren’t able to get. Arkansas doesn’t pull in much craft beer from anywhere. Heck, I went to college there for a year and discovered many of the counties are dry.

Any help would be appreciated. He’s looking to do this throughout the month of August and is looking to put together an itinerary including the "can’t miss" stops.

Thanks! -Eric
