Several ways to celebrate South Florida Beer Week

A handful of breweries and bars will throw tap takeovers and release specialty suds in the name of South Florida Beer Week, which started Saturday. Below are more of this week’s remaining gatherings.

PASSION PIT

Noon-midnight through Saturday, Jan. 28 at SaltWater Brewery, 1701 W Atlantic Ave, in Delray Beach; 561-865-5373 or SaltWaterBrewery.com

The beer, not the indiepop band, will be a fixture in the Delray Beach taproom as an early kickoff to Beer Week. A treatment of the recent low-alcohol-by-volume golden ale LocAle, Passion Pit is punched with pureed passionfruit, and will be on tap and in 12-ounce cans for a week before heading to bars in February, says Chris Gove, the brewery’s president and co-founder.

“Winter is nice and short here, and it’s warming up again, so we wanted a nice, tart, refreshing spring and summer brew,” Gove says.

Along with Passion Pit, SaltWater will serve limited-release beers such as Coffee Sea Cow Milk Stout and Grapefruit Screamin’ Reels IPA.

FUNKY BUDDHA MAPLE BACON BASH

10 a.m.-midnight Thursday, Jan. 26, at the Riverside Market, 608 SW 12th Ave, in Fort Lauderdale, and dozens of other bars; 954-358-8333.

If you missed Funky Buddha’s celebration of its breakfast in a glass, the Maple Bacon Coffee Porter, know that the brewery will release the chocolaty elixir to bar taps statewide starting Jan. 26. At Riverside Market, the brewery will also pour its coconut-coffee porter Last Snow, the English vanilla red ale Red Velvet and the chocolate-peanut ale Butta Cup.

TAP TAKEOVERS

Until 3 p.m. Jan. 27 at Biergarten Boca Raton, 309 Via de Palmas, No. 90, in Boca Raton; 561-395-7462.

The German restaurant and bar will host several local breweries during Beer Week, including Bangin’ Banjo on Jan. 24, 26 Degree on Jan. 25, Funky Buddha on Jan. 26 and Devour on Jan. 27. The bar will also feature limited-release brews from J. Wakefield (Gimme S’more, The Big Show), Barrel of Monks (Strawberry Beret) and others.

BEER AND GIRL SCOUT COOKIES

5-9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 25 at Due South Brewing Company, 2900 High Ridge Road, Suite 3, in Boynton Beach; $8; 561-463-2337.

Thin Mints, the cookie that breaks all New Year’s resolution diets, will be part of Due South’s beer and cookie pairing, as will those Girl Scout S’mores that debuted this month. Admission includes three beers and three cookies, with proceeds heading to a Palm Beach County Girl Scout troop.

BROSKI CIDERWORKS AND WINERY

Opens 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 at 1465 SW Sixth Court, Suite 1465, in Pompano Beach; 561-325-8495 or BroskiCiderworks.com.

The grand opening of David and Daniel Verdugo’s first hard-cider maker in Broward falls fittingly on Beer Week, and its steampunk-themed taproom will pour two ciders to start: a light, sweet Passion Fruit Cider and a tart Crisp Cider. Broski will offer $10 brewery tours Jan. 28-29, which includes a pint in a commemorative engraved cup.

JUPITER CRAFT BREWERS FESTIVAL

1-5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28, at Roger Dean Stadium, 4751 Main St., in Jupiter; $32, $35 at the gate; 561-818-8385 or JupiterCraftBrewersFestival.com.

Because day drinking is necessary this month, South Florida Beer Week will culminate with this afternoon festival, a roundup of 100-plus beers from 88 local and national breweries, including Bangin’ Banjo, Devour, Lagunitas and Sierra Nevada.
