FLAB (Fort Lauderdale Area Brewers)

Last night Eddie & I went to Stage 84 to check the place out and met with Camilo (Owner operator) and Bob Gordash ( Brewer of Holy Mackeral ).  We had a great time and they are going to be turning Stage 84 into a brewpub with even more emphasis on craft beer.  The bar is really cozy and has a great artistic atmosphere.  They have a great area out back where we can do a group brew and then we can do the FLABQUEST tasting directly afterwards.

The brewing will commence around 11AM, so for those who want to see an all-grainer this is a great opportunity.  They will provide some food for just a few bucks and also will have some really good stuff on tap too.  Group brews and events require some space and not everyone can host so this is a great opportunity to interact with an establishment that is focused on craft brew.

Following is the reply from Camilo:

It was nice meeting you guys, we're excited to get your group involved with helping make our business a credible beer establishment.

We'd like to charge $6 for the hamburger platter which will be a burger with lettuce and tomato, cheese optional. With a side of potato salad and chips.

We'll also be carrying on tap that day Avery IPA (they're out of stone for like 3 weeks) and we'll have Avery Rascal as the wheat choice.

Our beers range from $4 to $6, and we have victory golden monkey 750ml for $15

Since you're bringing beer to the event, we'll need your help advising guests to support our establishment so we can cover our costs.

We hope to make our place a favorite hang out for your group and we look forward to having you guys on May 5th
