This Thursday is National Beer Day and lucky for us Discover the Palm Beaches has created an Ale Trail that makes exploring our local breweries easy and fun. The initiative brings these small local businesses together complete with a fun map and savings pass that you can download. The easily navigable map spans from Jupiter to Boca Raton, making it easy for you to plan your day based on location, food offerings, outdoor seating and even pet-friendliness.
Discover the award-winning, hop-tastic, refreshingly original beers right in our backyard. Here’s a list of our local favorites, but we suggest pulling out the Ale Trail map and discovering your own. Cheers!
