Comments: I decided to enjoy the beautiful FL weather and a cigar after our conference activities and dinner. I headed down to the sports bar in the hotel, and much to my surprise they had 8 - 10 beers on tap. One of them was the Key West Sunset Ale (although the bartender told me it was a pale ale). When I tried it, I thought there was no way it was a pale ale, but it was enjoyable. Now that I'm back in my room, researching the beer I find that it was most probably the Sunset Ale. Much to my surprise it was another offering from the Florida Beer Co. It was really quite enjoyable. If I could find distribution in Indy, I'd probably pick up a six pack every now and then to mix it up. What better than a good cigar, a good beer and beautiful weather?

Comments: I checked into to the hotel and we had a quick drink at the bar before heading to the hockey game. While they didn't have any beers on tap, they did have quite a few bottled beer. This was the only unique beer they had. It was really pretty good. Very smooth and easy to drink. Had we stuck around, I would have ordered another. It was much better than most of the other beers we had that night.
