112 June 23-28, 2023 miaminewtimes.com | browardpalmbeach.com New Times b e s T o f m i a m i ® 2 0 2 3 a unique departure from the South Florida brewery norm. Founded in 2021 by head brewer Dan Pfaffenbach and his girlfriend, Denielle Mizrahi, this quaint Lauderhill spot serves small-batch brews and innovative in- house fare. The business started with Pfaffenbach’s popular home brew, a milk- shake-style hefeweizen called “Banana Slinger,” which emits banana aromas from the yeast used to make it. Today, yeast is the still name of the game at Yeasty Brews, where they endeavor to help craft beer novices brave uncharted territory. A three-barrel system produces a variety of unique experimental beers, many you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Although the brewer’s love of IPAs and hefeweizens shines, his recipe book is globally inspired, including a Norwegian- style strawberry imperial blonde ale, Belgian pale ale with watermelon, dragon fruit-in- fused tripels, and a key-lime vanilla cream ale. Pfaffenbach’s creative genius even dreamed up a vegan version of the popular milkshake- style IPA, offering guests a piña colada-in- spired take that uses coconut instead of lactose to create a creamy, full-bodied brew. The 3,000-square-foot taproom also has an in-house kitchen that offers easy eats like flatbreads, grilled cheese, paninis, and vegan empanadas. Like the beer, everything is made and prepared in house. B E S T B R E W E R Y ( M I A M I ) Prison Pals Brewing Co. 8205 NW 12th Street Doral, 33126 305-487-2780 prisonpalsbc.com Prison Pals Brewing Co. began making beer in March 2020 without a taproom but has gone on to cement Miami’s position on the craft beer map. Earlier this year, the Doral brewery made national headlines when it was awarded a bronze medal in the 2023 Beer World Cup for its Nelson Hazy IPA, a smooth and easy- drinking IPA brewed with seven pounds of Citra and Nelson Sauvin hops per barrel. It’s a significant achievement for the two-year-old brewery that began as a passion project by Ar- gentine friends CEO Juan Pipkin and brew- master Diego Setti. Today, Prison Pals offers a growing list of experimental brews and true- to-style lagers and ales, including the La Col- orada amber ale, Dorada Pampeana blonde ale, Cielito Lindo Mexican lager, and Born to Be Free pale ale. The original Doral taproom and its sister taproom in Oakland Park pro- vide an ever-changing selection of Setti’s ex- perimental one-off brews, including Setti’s smoothie series: high-ABV sour ales treated with 35 to 40 percent fruit. Among the most popular is Aloha, a nod to one of Setti’s favor- ite smoothies in Argentina, which blends pineapple, ginger, and mint.
