While food and fashion may seem like unlikely partners — we all know models can’t possibly get down on a burger like the rest of us (or, we hope, at least) — they two arts actually have a lot in common: both are visually appealing; both have fanatical fan-bases; both…

It’s #FloridaBeerFriday. Every Friday, we take a look at a beer brewed in the Sunshine State, giving analysis to the burgeoning craft-beer movement of Florida. Swamp Head Brewing is probably one of my most sought after out-of-reach Florida brewer, in the fact that very few kegs make their way down…
