Miami Beach, FL – January 30 – 31, 2015 – It was all about celebrating the taste of the brew this past weekend as CRAFT Spirits & Beer welcomed over 35 exhibitors ranging from local breweries to international artisan distillers for the second annual CRAFT tasting event. Kicking off on Friday evening, the weekend’s festivities drew in over 200 unique beverages including St. George Spirits soon to be released vodka line, Vermouths from a California Winery and two Spanish family producers, Sorel Hibiscus Liqueur from Brooklyn and Cliffton Dry Apple Prosecco. Vinecraft Distributors of Florida held a significant stake on the floor with many of their fine spirits such as Ed Hamilton’s exquisite 151 rum, hand bottled cognacs, Kilchoman Scotch whisky and Arte NOM tequilas. On Saturday the fun continued at The Fillmore where guests enjoyed an incredible tasting that not only included fine spirits, beers and cocktails, but also the pairing of bites from some of Miami’s finest chefs from Gastropod, The Dutch, Cypress Room, Oolite and The Local. Whether you couldn’t get enough of this weekend’s festivities or sadly had to miss out, CRAFT will be returning to Miami next January, bigger and even better with more artisan distillers, brewers, fine chefs and their creations along with a few surprises.
