“Winter,” “Brr,” “Chili.”

Those words in a lot of this weekend’s beer festival names might give you a hint as to the sort of weather much of the country is experiencing this week. But as long as you can get safely to and from a festival, we encourage you to attend! There’s no better place to taste the warming beers of the season. Unless you  happen to be enjoying the events of South Florida Beer Week, which culminates in the well-reviewed Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival on Saturday.

The Weekend Beer Festival Forecast publishes each Wednesday to alert beer road trippers about beer festivals and other brew-related events during the upcoming weekend.

If you would like your event to appear here, please e-mail the details to gerard@roadtripsforbeer.com.

As always, drink responsibly.
