Florida homebrewers and beer lovers are gearing up for a big bash this weekend in Maitland.
The Central Florida Home Brewers will hold its 21st annual Beer Competition and Festival from Thursday to Saturday (November 17-19) at the Sheraton Orlando North. Events will not only celebrate the 21st anniversary of the festival, but also the ratification of the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition, so expect to spy a few mobsters, henchmen, G-men and flappers as the Roaring ‘20s come back to life for a few days.
Festivities include:
- A bring-your-own Belgian Beer and Stinky Cheese party on Thursday night.
- A beer festival featuring more than two dozen breweries from Florida and beyond on Friday night
- A Saturday morning seminar featuring head brewer Wayne Wambles from Cigar City Brewing in Tampa.
- A Saturday afternoon Pub Crawl aboard a motor coach that will visit three area craft beer venues – and yes, there will be beer on board.
- Dinner and the awards ceremony for the home brewing competition on Saturday night (final judging takes place throughout the weekend). Organizers encourage attendees to wear their finest “speakeasy” attire.
