Nourish your beer gut

Do you have a love for beer, yet fear exposing your beer belly at backyard and pool shenanigans this weekend? Well, given the rain forecast for this weekend you're in luck! Indulge in some good 'ole beer drinking instead and check out the Miami Herald's guide to local breweries that serve the finest ale from around the world. Yet, fear not, for those who want to keep things patriotic...you'll find many options from around the USA (um...a Frisco Sierra Nevada sounds good right about now). Their recos include The Bar in the Gables; The Abbey Brewing Co, The Room & Zeke's on the Beach; Gordon Biersch in Brickell; and The Titanic Brewery in South Miami (click here for more details).

Do you have any other fav breweries? Let us know!

Happy Beer drinking!

Fireworks!

Is it only us or has this year flown by? I remember (what I can remember from that night) celebrating New Year's and now it's time to celebrate Fourth of July! Since the economy blows, some fireworks displays aren't happening this year (The Biltmore...cough, cough) so we wanted to share with you some old and new fireworks displays. We came across this great guide put together by miami.com that should help you and your family this Fourth of July holiday.

Click here to view the guide.

We also heard about a new Fireworks Display/Pool Party happening at the Viceroy Hotel-Icon Brickell that sounds like a winner. Festivities begin at noon and go well into the night but you must RSVP here to get in.

We will try to keep you updated throughout the week with more display shows and pool parties. In the meantime, send us some suggestions.
