CAYO HUESO HOSTS PAIRING PARTY ON JAN. 30

Jorge Quintana, owner of Cayo Hueso Brewing on Stock Island, will host a pairing party combining craft beer and Girl Scout cookies at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 30. MANDY MILES/Keys Weekly

Talk about two great tastes that taste great together — try locally brewed craft beer with…wait for it…Girl Scout Cookies.

We’re serious, and don’t knock it until you try it. 

Cayo Hueso Brewing, 5635 1st Avenue, Stock Island, will host its second annual pairing event to support Girl Scout Troop 2200, which will have plenty of boxes of Thin Mints, Carmel DeLites, Shortbread cookies, Tag-Alongs and more for sale.

Scoop up your favorites — it’s the last chance to stock up for the year.

But first, sit back, relax and have a couple beers.

Brew master Jorge Quintana had been crafting beers at home since 2011, but opened his brewery and tap room  in October 2023 in a building behind Roostica Wood-Fired Pizzeria, which is conveniently served at the brewery.

But save room for dessert on Jan. 30, when Quintana will share his expertise and particular palate to pair the classic Girl Scout Cookies with a craft beer that complements the flavors.

Visit Cayo Hueso Brewing on Instagram and stop by from 4 p.m. to close on Thursday, Jan. 30.
