The summer heat is no match for the SoWal Craft Beer and Spirits Festival – The inaugural event will be held on August 3, 2018, from 12 – 4 p.m. at Shades Bar & Grill in Inlet Beach, Florida.

Cooled tents will set the stage for the outdoors event, with tables that include more than 60 craft beers, ciders, Florida-distilled craft spirits, rosé wine and mimosas.

Beer and spirit experts will be on-site sharing their knowledge with attendees.

Food samplings will be provided by Shades Bar and Grill, Pescado Seafood Grill and Rooftop Bar, and Southside Slice Pizzeria.
