This week's highlights

If you're hunting for Florida brewery events this weekend, two taprooms have live music on the calendar. Swan Brewing says the Billy D Trio plays Oct 22 in Lakeland, and Southern Swells Brewing Company lists Live Music with Adam Latiff on Oct 23 in Jacksonville Beach.

On the beer side, Funky Buddha Brewery's newsletter says Hop Stimulator is pouring now in Oakland Park.

I like plans this plain: a band, a taproom, a start time. The two music nights also both begin at the same hour, so it comes down to which coast you're nearer.
