Yes, there is good beer in Miami - Zeke's.


Trendy places rarely have decent beer prices. I expected as much of South Beach, Miami, but Zeke's was there to prove that somebody in southern Florida cares about drinking good beer. This little bar boasted about 180 beers (so the menu said), at for $4. If you know your beer, there are some good deals to be had at that price, such as Stone IPA and Leffe Blonde. I also appreciated the food menu, which in its entirety read like this:

Hot Dog - $3
Chips - $1
Popcorn - $1

Beer in Miami: Imperial


A big thanks to Chan and Tim for hosting us in Miami for the weekend. The area isn't exactly known for it's beer. In fact, many beer lovers know it for its lack of beer. Still, I persevered and found the local flavor - beer from Latin America.

On the way to the beach Friday we picked up a cold sixer of Imperial, a simple adjunct-lager from Costa Rica. Just like I say about PBR, this beer is excellent for what it is. In this case, a refreshing beach beer.

C+ / 3.1
look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 3.5

Picked up a six-pack for $7 from Publix in Miami and brought it down to South Beach. This was a great beach beer, sure it didn't taste like much, but it was refreshing and clean. Really, it's just a plain, light bready water taste with very light touch of hops in the aftertaste. Really, this beer is the ideal adjunct lager - no flavor flavor, with absolutely no off-flavors. I'd take this over Miller Lite or Budweiser any day.
