Big Top Brewing – Gainesville, FL

Unbeknownst to us, we already visited this breweries Sarasota location a year or two ago. If memory serves us well, that location had a circus theme while this one is just a plain outright club atmosphere since it’s in the heart of Gator country. Thumping music and twenty-somethings filled the tasting room. The beer list also reflects the local vibe: mostly high-octane, exotic flavors with very little resemblance to our style of brews. We went out on a limb and tried the Zwickel Your Fancy Kellerbier and the Bierzebub India pale lager. Both were a little too ABV for our liking!
