The editorial take
LauderAle Brewery pours a wide range of in-house beers, from a Vienna lager to a robust porter, with several named styles carrying specific ABV and flavor notes. The Beer It Forward board and $6.50 Monday core pours add a community-minded edge. A Tuesday flight special makes sampling easy. Wine and nonalcoholic options fill gaps, but the beer is the draw.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Tuesday flight of four 5oz samplers to survey the range, then go for Indigenous Basterd, a 7% ABV IPA hopped with Amarillo and Citra, or C Porter, a robust porter with coconut, caramel, and chocolate notes. Monday's $6.50 core pours make Conniption a low-cost choice.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who appreciate a brewery with a broad style range and community-focused touches like the Beer It Forward board. Non-drinkers have several alternatives, but the beer-centric events like Sunday beer yoga will appeal most to enthusiasts.
- When should I go?
- Mondays bring core beers at $6.50, and Tuesdays offer flights at $6.50, making early-week visits the most economical for trying several styles. Sunday beer yoga pairs a beer with a session for a set price.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Core beers drop to $6.50 on Mondays, and Tuesday flights of four 5oz samplers run $6.50. Beer of the Month Brussel Spritz is also $6.50. Sunday beer yoga costs $18 with early registration, including a beer.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Beer It Forward program lets customers buy a beer for someone else, with names written on a board, and Sunday beer yoga adds a wellness angle. South Florida's first nano brewery, it also runs a Tuesday flight special and Monday core-beer pricing that keep sampling affordable.
