Miami Beach

Our first stop in Miami Beach was for some tacos at Alma Mexicana. That was when we realized that as English speakers, we were the minority. Both girls working there spoke very limited English and we had a hard time understanding each other, but the tacos were delicious!

Since we were both “sweatin’ more than a fat girl writin’ her first love letter” (-Paula Deen), we went to Wet Willie’s for some refreshing slushies. We spent the afternoon walking around and admiring all of the Art Deco hotels, their beautiful signage and all of the antique cars. When we couldn’t bare the heat anymore we walked to the beach to cool off by strolling along with our feet in the water. 

Next, we went to The Abbey Brewing Co., a Belgium style brewery. They’ve been open for over 17 years and serve three styles of beer. We tried them all: Immaculate IPA, Father Theodore's Stout and Brother Aaron's Quadruple but liked the IPA the best. We also got to talk a little bit to the brewmaster which is always cool. We thought it was funny that his beer of choice that day was Southern Tier 2XIPA from New York!

We also stopped in to Titanic Brewery in Miami. On our way there we finally reached the end of I95 which was bittersweet for us, realizing that our trip is almost halfway done. Their flight came in a cute little ship wheel but we weren’t too impressed with the beers, especially compared to The Abbey.
