Fort Lauderdale Flavors with Tarpon River Brewing

01/13/24 • 57 min

Sunny Fort Lauderdale beckoned, and we couldn't resist the siren call of pre-cruise escapades and a frothy craft beer at Tarpon River Brewery. Our latest jaunt finds us in this vibrant city, relishing in the local beer scene and recounting the quirky joys—from food truck festivals to hockey games—that make any vacation unforgettable. Who would've thought that a simple day in Florida could lead us to "Honey Love," a delightful Imperial cream ale, and "New River Fest," the Märzen reminiscent of classic Oktoberfest brews?
Our taste buds went on a journey with the unique flavors at Tarpon River Brewery, where the Florida honey truly makes its mark in the brewing process. Hats off to the ever-helpful Lisa, who navigated us through an array of palate-pleasing pours, perfectly paired with some of the most mouthwatering mozzarella sticks and wings. It's not just about the beer; it's the stories and connections—like the unexpected ties to Riverside Market—that stitch together the rich tapestry of our beer-centric adventures.
Wrapping up this episode, we're stirring up a bit of controversy and laughter with our candid thoughts on everything from video games to service animal designations. Plus, we're tickled to share our leap into video podcasts, so come along and subscribe to our YouTube channel for an animated twist on our beer-laden tales. Whether you're a local or just love a good brew, here's to the next round and the stories it will inspire. Cheers!

Ever find yourself at the crossroads of curiosity and thirst, yearning for a path sprinkled with laughter and deep dives into the craft beer world? Our latest episode is a frothy mix of both, as we share tales from Two Roads Brewing in Stratford, Connecticut, and dissect their Lil' Heaven Crushable IPA and the casino-collab Jackpot Juice Hazy IPA. We're not just about the suds, though; join us for a round-table discussion that hops from the comedic genius of Conan O'Brien to the camaraderie and competition brewed by beer passports and trivia nights.
But it's not all hops and giggles. As, we explore the serious side of brewing, discussing how Two Roads not only crafts a mean beer but also leads the way in contract brewing opportunities. We then take a sobering turn to reflect on the sustainability initiatives of this century-old factory turned brewery, sharing how they're pioneering in green practices from solar fields to water conservation. It's a conversation that pours out insights on resource conservation, all while still maintaining the flavor of our favorite brews.
We then navigate through the more intricate landscapes of border security, immigration reform, and the daunting reality of child trafficking. This episode isn't afraid to address the bitter notes of today's pressing social issues, balancing the heaviness with a lighter froth of human versus grasshopper leaps and the intoxicating fact about global inebriation levels. So grab your favorite pint, and let's toast to an episode that's equal parts enlightening and entertaining.
