brewfest 2011Nothing says “beer” like a rockin’ BrewFest! 

And what could be more fun than sampling hundreds of beers and ales in America’s Southernmost City? Specially crafted for Labor Day Weekend, Key West’s Annual Brewfest takes place on Thursday, September 2 through Monday, September 6 and is guaranteed to have you foaming at the mouth. 

Get your brewskis on with local favorites from the Florida Keys Brewing Co. and Islamorada Beer Co. or kick back with national favorites like “Purple Haze,” “Funky Buddha” and “Andygator.” This barrel of fun weekend includes tons of beer related events including brunches, pool parties, daytime tap takeovers and special dinners that pair each course with brews that complement the cuisine.

But the undisputed highlight of the weekend is Saturday’s BrewFest Signature Tasting Festival. Featuring some 150 beers from leading, boutique and small-batch breweries around the world, the tasting extravaganza is set for 5-8 p.m. on Key West’s South Beach at 1405 Duval St. brewfest

General admission for the Tasting is $40 per person. For die-hard lager lovers, there’s an exclusive VIP tasting catered with passed appetizers from 3 – 5pm. Tickets are $100 per person in advance. This special event is presented by the Key West Sunrise Rotary Club of the Conch Republic and benefits the Rotary’s charitable initiatives. Wanna know more?
