LauderAle is Southeast Florida's first and only nano-brewery. Nano refers to the size of the batches, which are much smaller than micro-breweries. Nano-breweries are kept small intentionally and are an increasingly popular segment of the craft brewing culture. LauderAle is off the beaten path, located in the warehouse district of Port Everglades near the cruise ships. I arrived with much curiosity not quite knowing what to expect. As I walked up, I could hear Reggae music playing, a casual and inviting atmosphere with people gathered at the bar and tables enjoying pints with their friends. Eager to join the fun I ordered a flight of beer.
Las Olas Lager: A refreshing and smooth brew with a mellow citrus flavor
Smoke Stack Stout: This brew had a rich full-bodied flavor with the perfect amount of hops to give it a zest that was quite satisfying
Saison: A Belgium style brew that was smooth and light with an enjoyable spring and kick to it
Immigration IPA: This IPA brew was a delight! It was a perfect blend with balance and harmony that was just amazing.
I will definitely be going back to LauderAle soon to enjoy more of their fresh brews!
