November 4th, Foo Foo Fest Edition: Islamorada Beer Company (Fort Pierce, Fla.)
The only brewery AND distillery in the Florida Keys, Islamorada’s south location is the best place to try our beer, spirits, and cocktails. Pair your favorite drink with island eats from our food truck, Spanky’s Kitchen, which serves daily in the taproom and beer garden. It was here in this laid-back, neon yellow taproom that Islamorada Beer was founded. From the heart of the Florida Keys, we set out to make quality local craft beer with the drinkability that complements our lifestyle.  Now we’re proud to be the first distillery in Islamorada too, with our unique, island spirits distilled on site then served up in handcrafted cocktails at the bar. With our friendly taproom and large, beautiful beer garden, Islamorada Brewery & Distillery is a must-stop for a refreshing drink, a tasty meal, and a good time.

• Islamorada Ale paired with Cedar plank Camembert cheese with pepper jelly, pecans, and grilled Emerald Coast Bread Co. baguette
• Sandbar Sunday Ale paired with savory squash pie and arugula salad tossed in cider vinaigrette
• Channel Marker IPA paired with Bourbon brined smoked pork tender loin over sweet potato butter and blueberry compote
• Coconut Key Lime Ale paired with white chocolate bread pudding with Key lime ginger sauce

About Atlas Beverage Classes

Atlas Oyster House is proud to present the next installment of Atlas Beverage Classes (A.B.C.). This semester we will be focusing on local breweries, wineries, and distilleries, discovering what is going on in the beverage world right here in our backyard. In addition to the beverage tastings, we will feature small plates paired with each beverage, as prepared by Chef de Cuisine John Huggins.

A.B.C. will be held outside, on the Atlas deck, the first Thursday of the month (August through December) and will feature a local presenter discussing the highlighted beverages.

Classes will consist of four tastings of beverages with four mini appetizers to complement each tasting. Classes will cover the basics as well as specific information regarding the history of the brewery/winery/distillery and their beers, wines, or spirits.
