Where to celebrate American Craft Beer Week

Drop that imported brew, buddy. It’s American Craft Beer Week.

Sanctioned by the Brewers Association, a national beer guild, the weeklong holiday (Monday-May 21) celebrates the ingenuity displayed by small and independent breweries from around the country.

Breweries and brewpubs in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties will be featuring birthday parties, bacon pairings, sour brews and a beer named Coconut Creamsicle. (Who needs ice cream anymore?)

Below are seven American Craft Beer Week bashes.

Funky Buddha beer releases, 11:30 a.m. May 21 at Funky Buddha Brewery, 1201 NE 38th St., Oakland Park; free admission; 954-440-0046 or Funky BuddhaBrewery.com

Ahead of their Willy Wonka-themed anniversary party in June, the Buddha’s beer wizards will be releasing a pair of brews for sweet-toothed drinkers: Lemon Meringue Blonde Ale and Blueberry Cobbler Wheat Ale, available on draft and in bottles ($7 for Lemon Meringue, $12 for Blueberry Cobbler four-pack).

Food trucks Rolling Chefs, Spring In Roll Out and Troy’s BBQ (best paired with Sweet Tea Lager) will be on hand, as will local bands and 10 guest breweries including Cigar City, Civil Society and Devour.

Barbecue palate cleansers can be found at nextdoor Cuban restaurant It’s a Cubano B, which from noon to 3 p.m. May 21 will serve ribs rubbed with espresso, cocoa and chili, along with Red White and Brewing Co.’s Boca Negra (porter with Cuban coffee, vanilla ice cream, espresso beans and chocolate cake notes) and It’s a Cubano B...eer (double-chocolate coffee porter).

Hoppy birthday Concrete Beach, noon-1 a.m. Friday at Concrete Beach Brewery, 325 NW 24th St, Miami; free admission; 305-796-2727 or ConcreteBeach Brewery.com

As the pun implies, the Wynwood brewery is throwing a second anniversary celebration with a focus on the humble hop, the ball-shaped plant that gives craft ales their bitter, citrusy kick.

During the birthday party, four limited-release brews (the brewery has been teasing a Belgian strong ale and IPAs on its Instagram account) will showcase the hop, paired with food from Grumpy Greg’s BBQ, music from ArtOfficial and a free doughnut cake, made by the Salty Donut, which is blended with Tropic of Passion wheat ale.

There will also be halfprice growler fills and suds from guest breweries Wynwood, J. Wakefield and M.I.A.
