Ten or twelve years ago if you stopped most places in Florida you'd find all the usual light beers and on occaision you'd find a place like Bunky's in Indialantic with a big beer cooler. Well, Bunky's has slimed down their selection (drat) but I found real Florida beer. That's right apparently somebody (and I'll find out who) decided Florida needed their own beer. And this is not the super-light lager in clear bottles that show up in the surfer posters.
I stumbled upon 6-pack of Key West Sunset Ale at the Winn-Dixie store where I usually go when I blow into Melbourne Beach and was pleased to see a local beer. Though the Key West name might not help you guess they brew in Melbourne, FL (I guess "Melbourne Lager" might not have the same cache - and would be confused for 'down under').
The Key West Sunset ale had a nice malt characteristic and the crisp taste they claim. A great brew for sipping on a warm evening staring at the ocean (or the TV for that matter!).
More soon as I'll be visiting them!
