Between navigating traffic for the art fairs, boat show, and Gay 8 festival this weekend, you’re going to need a beer.
WakeFest arrives just in time. J. Wakefield Brewing, the Wynwood brewery that innovated tart, refreshing so-called sour beers made with South Florida flavors, will host a beer festival with 120 independently owned craft breweries from around the country, Canada and Europe Feb. 17 from noon to 6 p.m.
This is no debauch. Brewmaster Johnathan Wakefield has been prized for his award-winning beers — from light, refreshing tart beers to rich, powerful stouts — and he has brewed with many of these small, microbreweries to produce beers people love.
