Food, Music, and Booze, OH MY!
Exit One Taproom is set to host the ultimate event for all beer connoisseurs
Beer lovers in South Dade can rejoice as Craft Mash Beer and Music Fest 2020 arrives Saturday, the 7th of March at 4 P.M., promising a diverse selection of quality craft brews at Exit One Taproom.
For many South Miami locals, specifically in the Homestead and Cutler Bay area, searching for new, exotic ales usually takes them on a long drive up to Wynwood; one of Miami’s most popular hotspots and tourist attractions.
The owners of Exit One Taproom located in Florida City have partnered with the restaurant Tacos and Tattoos to deliver a similar experience to the South Dade community. “We’re very passionate about craft beer, and we’ve had many opportunities to travel and experience these festivals outside of Florida City,” said Exit One co-owner, Breezy Leza. “So we decided as a team, to bring this new idea to Florida City and it was very welcomed.
Hoping to bring a Wynwood-like event, the festival will include over 20 different Florida brewing companies showcasing their best beverages, as well providing the community with a fun, innovative experience
The function will also have activities such as a car show, live art demonstrations, hookah lounge and vendor’s village. Guests can also expect live musical performances by local artists Raising Cadence, Yamokah, Banda Kaliente and more.
“We decided as a whole to always involve our local artists and our musicians,” said Leza. “We want to provide a platform for them to express their interests and their talents, and we figured that Exit One and the festival would be the best place.”
And what is a festival without including a variety of delicious food options? Tacos and Tattoos will be serving its unique style of cuisine, offering a traditional Mexican fusion with a Caribbean comfort experience.
“Everything we do is hand crafted, and we make really good food from abuela’s recipes to my father’s travels” said Jay Cruz, head of logistics and operations at Tacos and Tattoos. “It’s a unique style of dining that kind of forces you to touch all five senses.”
After hosting the successful Craft Beer Not Crap Beer festival last year, the two businesses want to expand on the idea of bringing the community together for something that normally isn’t held below the Kendall area on an annual basis.
With their ambitious drive and the help of production company Circle of Trust Entertainment (COT), they are getting closer to realizing that mission.
“The purpose of this event is to have a good time,” said Arnaldo Felix, a representative of COT Entertainment. “We’re going to break expectations, surpass expectations, and we will be waiting.”
