Florida Keys Brewing Co. celebrated its 10th year in business on Feb. 16 with a beer fest, food vendors, live music and the famous iguana races (and yes, they were microchipped with proper documentation per state law). Owned by Cheryl and Craig McBay, Florida Keys Brewing Co. opened as the first microbrewery in the Upper Keys at the Morada Way Arts & Cultural District. Their products and facilities have expanded through the years, making the tasting room, beer garden and micro brewery a must visit.
