If you agree variety is the spice of life, then you’ll have fun dabbling in The Lodge’s self-tap beer system. We had seen automatic dispensing with wine on our shores, but this is a Southwest Florida first: Simply slip on a programmed wrist band, touch it to one of the 12 taps, and suds up with as many of the varying golden hues as you care to sample. Since each is thoughtfully sourced from around the globe and priced by the ounce and the dispenser senses how much you pour, this is a recipe for innovation that Renaissance men (and women) of the craft beer era will undoubtedly cheer. 2278 First St., Fort Myers, 433-2739, thelodgefl.com
