Jan Norris: Food and Florida

Bon Beer Voyage is a new travel company out of Boynton Beach that is set to take hop-heads on a variety of trips to taste craft and unusual beer.

First up is this weekend: the Tampa Beer Safari with a trip to Ybor City for the weekend. You get to the hotel, and the rest is planned.

It includes the hotel for two nights, two breakfasts, two beer-paired dinners (one at Fleming’s Steakhouse), visits to Cigar City Brewery and others, a visit to Tarpon Springs, a “Beer hunting expedition” with a beer guide, a private tour of Haunted Ybor and Saturday lunch, insurance – as well as several beer-y surprises.

Ruth Berman is coordinator; cost is $463 per person double occupancy.

For all the low-down on the trip, and her list of other upcoming trips, go to the website, www.BonBeerVoyage.com, or call toll free, (888) 846-2337. Local calls: (561) 704-4477. Reservations a must by Thursday – even if it’s for the lone dinner at Fleming’s Steakhouse.
