A perk of the new location is the backyard beer garden, a lush and inviting space that is kid-friendly. When we visited, kids and adults were trying out hula hoops. The tasting room has a wide variety of games, and the atmosphere is friendly and fun.
This brewery has cultivated a following of locals, as evidenced by the busy schedule of events that take place here, from a book club to yoga classes. Live music is played two or three times a week.
Oh yeah, and they serve beer, a great selection with whimsical names and pretty good reviews. Many visitors tout Iguana Bait, made with local hibiscus (iguanas' favorite food) and key honey. On Untappd, the lebanon email list highest rating goes to Porter's Stout, named after Porter, a black lab.

Islamorada Beer Company,
82229 Overseas Highway, Islamorada.
The second craft brewery to open in Islamorada, this spot devotes about half its space to displaying logoed T-shirts and merchandise and to a sand pit and boat launch where kids can have fun.
That leaves room for a half-dozen tables and a bar in the tasting room, where we saw friendly tourists and locals chatting about places to go in the Keys.
