This year, 4,000 young professionals and beer aficionados will descend on Huizenga Plaza in downtown Fort Lauderdale to sample more than 100 of the world’s best local and international beers while enjoying music from a live band, watching the men’s college basketball championship games on large screens and receiving special offers from local vendors. Big 105.9 radio personality Doc Reno will host the event.
