Mike Loves Beer

For years now Vine & Barley in Port St. Lucie has been one of the premier craft beer spots for the Treasure Coast.  Today a second location of the great bar opens in Palm City, Florida.  At 2 pm they officially open the doors for the craft drinkers of Martin County to enjoy some good brews (there is some wine too).

I’m certain that owner Mark Carbone will have a great business here and I will certainly be heading up there in the near future.  I say you should too.

After a very successful and fun grand opening of Due South on Saturday, American Craft Beer Week officially kicks off today across the states.  And rest easy that there are plenty of events going on throughout South Florida this week for your craft beer drinking cravings.  Be sure to check out my calendar for a number of events in Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties this week.

Today’s highlights are sure to include the Tequesta & Cigar City event at Havana Hideout in Lake Worth along with a beer dinner at Tucci’s in Boca Raton.  Do you have any plans that you are definitely going to this week?

The day is almost here.  Tomorrow, May 12th, Due South Brewing opens up.  To get you ready here are some final details for the event.

• Starts at 3 pm.  Normal hours start Sunday and will open at noon but for the grand opening it will be 3 pm.
• Due South is located at 2900 High Ridge Road #3, Boynton Beach, FL 33426. It is the same building as Sherwin Williams and Boynton Marble & Granite.
• Parking and the entrance are behind the building.  Parking in the front of the building will be reserved for employees.
• Be sure to have you ID as you will be ID’d upon entering.
• Tickets will be used to get beers.  You will buy tickets at a separate table ($2 each) and use the tickets to get your beers (1 ticket for an 8 oz pour and 2 tickets for a pint).  Both cash and credit will be accepted but cash is preferred.
• No outside bottles will be permitted.  This is not a bottle share.
• Have fun and be responsible.

With all that said, I will see a great number of you Saturday.  Cheers!
