Abbey also has 16 other domestic and imported beers on draft, including some German beers, and a good selection of bottled imports, including Belgian lambics and Trappist ales. About 30 minutes north of Fort Lauderdale in Boca Raton is a brewpub well worth going out of your way for, Brewzzi. Located just off I-95 on Glades Road, Brewzzi is in a large, standalone building with some outdoor seating. The restaurant seating is mostly in comfortable booths. Brewzzi's menu specialty is pizza and a wide variety of sandwiches and burgers served on its own freshly baked bread.
Portions are very generous and at very reasonable prices, also.
The Brewmaster's Special on our last visit was a robust, malty Double Bock. Brewmaster Blake Bomben also regularly features a fruit flavored beer, with the fruit changing with every batch. Another handsomely appointed brewpub in the area is Big Bear Brewing Company, located about 20 minutes northwest of Fort Lauderdale in Coral Springs. Big Bear's name is a reference to Florida's black bear, a once common species which is now endangered and whose cause is actively supported by the brewpub. The decor at Big Bear is that of a old-style steak and chop house, with red leather booths, exposed brick walls, and lots of dark wood and brass rails.
