We love our beer here in South Florida.
Sure, we may have been a bit late to the craft brew scene, but we're now one of the fastest growing markets in the country -- hey, we start slow, finish fast.
While we drink all the time down here -- Fort Liquordale is in our territory, obviously -- we have an excuse this week. American Craft Beer Week starts today and we have the scoop on all the participating bars and restaurants.
