RED Episode #96: Fort Lauderdale A1A Half Marathon and American Icon Brewery
RUN
Publix Fort Lauderdale A1A Half Marathon was our training run this weekend. We had to complete a 15-mile training run and the walk to and from the race would give us the distance we needed. Plus have you seen the medal? A turtle! This race has been held for the last 15 years, and they know how to do it right. The course is nice and flat for the most part. The expo was a nice size full of lots of great stuff for runners. The after party at the finish line was great. Did we mention the PR that Dana got! So incredible! We are so happy we found this race and hope to do it again.
EAT
American Icon Brewery has a taproom in Fort Lauderdale that has been open since March, but if you try the food, you’ll think they have been cooking forever. We had a burger special with a fried Mac & Cheese patty. The Backyard Beer Brat was delicious. We could have tons of the AIB Factory Beer Cheese it came with as a dipping sauce. We are fans! We wanted to have a bunch of other items on their menu but had to save room for the beer!
DRINK
American Icon Brewery has a great selection of beer. Both Aimee and Dana had the 1926 Hefeweizen, named for the power plant where they brew in Vero Beach. Aimee had the Double Red Ale and American Hero NEPA. Dana had the Light My Friar Belgian Quad as well! We will have to go back and try more of their menu for sure as long of these original offerings were very tasty!
