Get stoned with crab claws this weekend in Fort Lauderdale.

​It's been said that seafood in South Florida isn't as big a draw for the locals as it is for out-of-towners, a topic that can be debated as you are pulling apart pieces of crab leg at the Stone Crab and Seafood Festival this Saturday on the lawn of the Riverside Hotel in Fort Lauderdale.

It's this guy's time to shine.

​This is South Florida Beer Week, and tons of beercentric activities like tastings, tap takeovers, and pairings are planned throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties (and in Miami, if you feel like making the drive). You can find details on a few select events after the jump.

Not a fan of hops, malt, or barley? There are a few other options this week and weekend, like the Stone Crab and Seafood Festival in Fort Lauderdale and cooking classes that celebrate the ever-beloved bacon.

This is your South Florida Fair food, on drugs.

​Options this week for food-centered fun in South Florida range from the highbrow (swanky fundraising tastings) to the not-so-highbrow (deep-fried butter and the Tilt-a-Whirl) and choices in between.

Assuming you've already gone ahead and said "screw it" to your New Year's resolutions, there are plenty of opportunities to overindulge and throw caution to the wind.

After the jump, a look at some of the food and drink events this week and weekend in Broward and Palm Beach counties:

Count down the days 'til Christmas with a pint in hand.

​The weekend looms large with Christmas Eve and Christmas Day overshadowing most other food and drink events in South Florida. Speaking of Christmas Day, you may still be able to score a reservation for a South Florida restaurant open on Christmas if you act fast. Word to the wise: Christmas Day is a dicey time to "wing it" so, seriously, act now if you want to secure a spot.

Beer fans are in luck this week, as several tap takeovers are scheduled in Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Additionally, Organic Brewery in Hollywood opened over the weekend adding another option for locally crafted beer.

Here's a look at a few food and drink events happening this week and weekend in Broward and Palm Beach:

Even the jolly ol' elf needs a break once in awhile.

​Naughty Santa shenanigans, hula dancing holiday hotties, happy hour toy drives at surf bars -- must be December in South Florida.
