Saint Patrick’s Day is fast approaching, and if you’ve paid attention since you reached legal drinking age, you’ll know that it is one of the dreaded ‘amateur hours’ of beer drinkers. The holiday, which occurs on the 17th of March, is a Christian feast day celebrating the patron saint of…
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. This week we’re popping up north to one of the area’s long standing microbreweries, Tequesta Brewing Company, all the way up in Tequesta, naturally…
Across the world Americans are stereotyped as being lazy — we’d like to think we’re just busy, actually. We have drive-throughs for just about everything: fast-food, car-washes, banks, pharmacies, convenience stores, dry-cleaners, and topless doughnut shops. (Seriously, that last one used to exist in Fort Lauderdale. We couldn’t make this…
Congratulations, you made it through yet another working week. You might as well give yourself a pat on the back to celebrate — or better yet, a drink or three. Whether you are looking to party Irish style, like the idea of hanging out with pets at Funky Buddha, or…
The saying goes, “Nothing good happens after 2 a.m.” We say “good” is an awfully subjective word. In any case, we don’t believe it. Whether leaving a concert, a fun night out at the bars, a long day of work, or whatever other entertaining (but socially unacceptable) activities you may…
There’s been a lot of buzz about bees over the past few years. With a major decline in honeybee populations across the country — and in other parts of the world — scientists have been scrambling to discover the cause. To deal with the concern, the University of Florida has…
This past weekend the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral Miami saw an array of stars both on and off the famous (and revamped) Blue Monster. Of course, you’ve got to feed those thousands of hungry A-listers, so there were tons of options: Joe’s Stone Crab, Sushi Maki, and Coral…

Mark your calendars for the most notable food fests in Broward and Palm Beach. There’s a reason most of us chose the more laid-back and casual lifestyle of Broward and Palm Beach; our festivals are representative of our fun-loving yet easygoing scene. From informal parties like Beerfest and the Garlic…
Thirty minutes into Ron Jeremy’s Ron De Jeremy Spiced Rum bottle-signing, a modest but eager line of about ten had formed in Crown Wine & Spirits, at the corner of Sunrise and 15th Ave in Fort Lauderdale…
Anyone who has ever been in the same room as a lobster boiling knows the distinctive sound of its scream as it’s cooked alive. The sound is not actually a scream — lobsters do not have vocal cords — but for many, the question about whether they feel pain remained…
There once was a day in which people would scoff at the mere mention of raw fish; sushi was considered an exotic cuisine for risky foodies. Those days are surely gone — the Japanese staple is now one of the most common food items to be found across restaurant menus…
Fans of fine rum will want to make plans to come out to Crown Wine & Spirits for a meet and greet with the man known for his… ummmm… spirit… when Ron Jeremy hosts a special rum-tasting and bottle-signing today at Crown Wine & Spirits in Fort Lauderdale from 4…
Put down the beef; pick up the veggie. We’ve been hearing about the dangers of the Western diet for quite a long time. Heart disease, stroke, obesity: All can stem from gorging on burgers, fries, and ice cream. And although we know we ought to eat mostly plant matter, we’ve…
In case you didn’t know, inhaling vaporized hops is a thing now. According to Lagunitas Brewing Co., vaporizing hops has been the talk of homebrewers for years, and the Petaluma brewery has known about it for some time too. It’s thanks to the brewery that the practice of vaporizing hops…
The notion that women don’t drink beer is not just sexist but stupid. Head to any brewery, craft beer bar, or brewcentric event and there are just as many individuals with two x chromosomes slamming down the tasty beverage as there are men. Still like so many other segments of…
That’s right. St. Paddy’s Day is almost here. Sure, cities across South Florida celebrated this past weekend with parades and festivities. Consider that the appetizer; the gut-busting entrée is about to do down. Whether you’re looking to go low-key with some quiet corned beef and cabbage or you’re aiming to…
Today is a double whammy. Not only is it Monday (which is usually the worst day of the week), but it’s the first Monday after daylight savings time. We’re not sure about you, but when the alarm went off this morning and it was still dark out we weren’t in…
Andrew Zimmern’s Appetite for Life: DIY is the television host’s informative web series that goes beyond the usual recipes and tips to show us useful culinary skills like growing an herb garden or building a crab trap. In January, Zimmern and crew made their way to South Florida to film…
While they sure know how to cook up a damned good meal, chefs tend to be an eclectic group with widely ranging talents and interests. Some are into music; others are into the visual arts; and a few even have some scientific degrees up their sleeves. For example, newly appointed…
UPDATE: It appears that this will be the last Hunahpu’s Day. Cigar City’s founder Joey Redner told the Full Pint, “I am acknowledging defeat. That was the last Hunahpu Day. The beer will go into distribution next year and hopefully spread out among many accounts; it will get to consumers…
It’s already March and the recently-opened Twenty Twenty Grille is already getting in on the beer scene by pairing with Funky Buddha Brewery for a beer dinner tomorrow at their location in Boca Raton.
