Hey guys,
So I currently live in the craft beer booming city of Tampa, Florida. It's one of the best things I love about this place; new breweries opening up every day, the beer culture, and the home brew shop Southern Brewing & Winemaking. Just last week though, I accepted an offer at a company in West Palm Beach, Florida. This is my hometown and I have been longing to get back to it. All my family and friends are here as well as the beautiful beaches, awesome fishing, and a hop and skip to the Bahamas! Unfortunately, there is not the same beer scene and life in WPB as there is in Tampa.
Question for you all in the WPB area, what clubs do you all belong to? I know in Tampa we have several within a 20 mile radius. The only one I am aware of is Palm Beach Draughtsmen. I have competed in their Hurricane Blow-Off comp two years now, but have not made it down to meet the members of the club personally. Are there any clubs in the western part of the county (Wellington) or the northern part (North Palm Beach/Jupiter)?
Also, where do you all shop for HB supplies? I have been to BXBeerDepot in the past to grab a recipe when visiting family and was not to impressed, but that is also because I am spoiled with Southern here in Tampa. Are there other places in the North Palm Beach area? Does anyone do group/bulk buys of grain?
Hope to hear from you guys down south and hopefully meet some of you. I will be moving at the end of the month and looking to join or start a club soon. I have been with Special Hoperations of Tampa, FL for 2 years now and would love to stay involved in the scene and education.
