Greater Fort Lauderdale Ale Trail
As its tourism promoters put it: “Known best for its beaches, Greater Fort Lauderdale is riding a new wave as a craft beer destination.”
They note that over the past decade, what started as a community of tenacious brew masters, connoisseurs, and enthusiasts, is now a thriving beer culture with 18 local nano- and micro-breweries and 32 craft brew pubs on the Greater Fort Lauderdale Ale Trail.
The Greater Fort Lauderdale Ale Trail features 500 different beers, from a Hefeweizen made with Florida-grown mangos, to malty imports from across the globe – everyone can find a favorite new brew along the map. Visitors can experience breweries, beer gardens, and brewpubs offering guided tours, an open-air cigar patio, and horchata-inspired brew on tap.
