Every year, the Best Florida Beer Championship hosts a competition amongst Florida breweries to put Florida’s commercial breweries against each other for the title of “Best Florida Beer.” Then the winners are compiled into an event (Brewers’ Ball) where all of those beers are poured together at the same time and another event where all of the leftover beers from the competition are poured (Leftover Night at Southern Brewing).
Best Florida Beer has just announced the winners for 2014, with a catch- no one knows which beers won which medals until the Brewers’ Ball on March 2nd.
