DAYTONA BEACH / ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA
St. Augustine’s A1A ALEHOUSE has a prominent spot across the waterfront with a panoramic view of Matanzas Bay from its second floor patio (visited April ’04). Lasting 29 years until May 2024, A1A stopped brewing in 2017.
Alongside New World cuisine, quaffed soapy wheat-husked King Street Light Lager (suiting indiscreet novices), soft-toned raspberry-seeded peach-melon-draped Raspberry Light Ale (befitting fruit lovers) and Cascade-hopped melon-mango-berry-induced Red Brick Ale (a fine sedation).
Perfume-fruited spice-hopped Irish Red Lager tingled; English-styled citric-hopped Porpoise Point Pale Ale mingled; mildly caramelized mocha-sweet Bridge Of Lions Brown Ale seduced; and dry coffee-roasted maple-sapped nut-sharp A. Strange Stout tamed hearty thirsts.
