So you're still on the fence about whether to attend the Orlando Beer Festival, the inaugural beer bash to end all beer bashes, eh? Well, we have 42 good reasons you should attend listed below. We've got breweries from Sarasota to St. Cloud and Orlando to Ormond Beach coming to town to take part. For just $45 ($50 if you buy at the gate), you can sample as much beer as you can drink from all of your favorites (Cigar City, Crooked Can, Goose Island, etc.) and also try a few new brews from some brewers that haven't even opened their doors yet (Black Cauldron, Suncreek, Dead Lizard). It's all going down in Festival Park on Nov. 14. Check out orlandobeerfestival.com. We'll be adding more breweries as they sign up!
