Palm Each Summer Beer Fest has all the makings of a solid day of craft beer guzzling: more than 150 brews being poured in the unlimited fashion, live music, and a home brew competition. But what separates this festival from all those that came before it is that it's the first indoor beer festival in South Florida. That's right: You will be able to drink your weight in IPAs, all without breaking a sweat as you stumble around the air-conditioned Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds. Catch live music from the Dunwells, County Line Road, Brooke Eden, and, if you stay out late enough, the sounds of Dave Matthews Band, which will be taking the stage at the fairgrounds later that night. Make sure to get some sleep the night before, because it's about to be a long one. Palm Beach Craft Beer Fest takes place Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. at the South Florida Fairgrounds (9067 Southern Blvd. in West Palm Beach). Tickets cost $35 in advance, $40 at the door with a $75 VIP option that includes a private area with food and exclusive craft beers. Visit palmbeachsummerbeerfest.com.
