Real ale, the Florida way

With the surging popularity of craft beer currently attracting 7.8 million drinkers in Britain, those with adventurous pint-drinking-palates will be pleased to hear they can enjoy the beer revolution in sunnier lands, too.

St. Petersburg/Clearwater is the centre of Florida's booming craft beer renaissance, connecting the Sunshine State's oldest, newest and most highly regarded craft breweries together in a Craft Beer Trail.

The beer geek's answer to California's wine country, the trail is an hour-long drive end-to-end and offers unique brews to sip at 14 independent breweries; the largest concentration of breweries in Florida.
