The Florida Beer Podcast is the official podcast of Florida Beer Blog, a blog covering everything beer and brewery-based in the Sunshine State. Host David Butler will be interviewing key players and cultural leaders in Florida’s brewing scene, reviewing their latest brews, and sharing industry news and events.
Nestled in on Florida's Atlantic side, just north of Jacksonville, is the small island community of Fernandina Beach. Here, in an old car dealership and tile showroom, sits Mocama Brewing.
Mocama is the word for ocean in the ancient Timacua dialect that was spoken by pre-Colombian civilizations in the area. The namesake brewery opened near the end of 2020, opened by five people that had cut their teeth in the craft beer industry in locations like Creature Comforts.
It is currently owned and operated by husband and wife team Kim and Andrew Batey and operates a full service kitchen, coffee shop open at 7:30 am daily, and (of course) the production brewery and tap room. In charge of much of that is Head Brewer Justin Southwell, Nicholas Johnson, Brewer and Production Manager, Assistant Brewer Justin Conway, plus the voice you'll hear for a lot of this episode, Coffee Shop Manager Elliott Terral.
We start with a discussion of the coffee side of things, the rise of that segment of the third space, and Fernandina Beach's place in Florida craft beer (even after I horribly butcher the pronunciation). Also, listen as we chat about the expected morning crowd of coffee drinkers as they transition to beer drinkers in the afternoons, and starting Mocama's new liquor program.

It is no secret that CBD infused beverages are becoming the next hot item in craft drinks. The regulation surrounding these, however, tends to still be a work in progress.
Also currently undergoing refinement is how these beverages are marketed and sold to the general public. But, if you're going to have a beverage that promotes the idea of a fun sunny day, who better to pair with it then the Legacy of Florida favorite Jimmy Buffett?
That was all the idea behind Coral Reefer, a new non-alcoholic CBD infused beverage. Produced with the inspiration of everyone's favorite parrot head, these beverages come in a variety of flavors and THC strengths.
We spoke to the co-founders behind Coral Reefer, Joe Snyder and Peter Hanley, about the legacy of Jimmy buffett, creating a beverage with the marketplace and the Margaritaville inspiration in mind, and the future of these beverages in Florida and the United states.
Plus, listeners will have access to a special discount code to order Coral Reefer shipped directly to you!

It is impossible to ignore what Tidal Brewing in Spring Hill used to be in a former life.
The gas station pumps have long since been removed but the overhang remains, as well as the separate car wash that has been turned into a brewhouse. And an award-winning brewhosue, no less.
That work was done by owners Dave and Maxine Peitzman, both former teachers in Hernando County turned brewmaster and tap room manager for one of the area's hottest breweries. I sat down with Dave and Maxine to discuss beer in the region, how Tidal reflected their own backgrounds in education, and the joys of converting a car wash to a brewhouse.

There is nothing more cozy, warm, and inviting than a British pub. With deep colors, understated pub signs, and tons of Premier League scarves covering every potential space, the new Green Turtle Brewery and Public House on Central in St. Pete does everything right to appease our friends from across the pond.
Green Turtle is owned by its brewer Todd Bearden. His brewing path began in St. Louis while in school for theatre, so we spoke to him about that experience, finding the right location for Green Turtle, and the depth of a good cask ale program.

The RTD, or Ready To Drink craft cocktail, has taken the craft beverage world by storm recently. These ready mixed cocktails are a perfect compliment to any occasion and give consumers that aren't necessarily interested in beer a different avenue to try.
One brewery in Florida, our friends at St Pete's 3 Daughters Brewing, has been embracing the RTD phenomenon for years, putting substantial thought behind their line of Retro Chill RTD beverages.
These inspired cocktails, of which there are now four, are available statewide in a variety of locations. We sat down with Corey Auger, Director of Channel Sales and Brand Development to discuss the RTD phenomenon, the amazing flavors of Retro Chill, and 3 Daughters commitment to always exploring the latest and greatest for their customers.

In 1903, a water pumping station was opened along the banks of the Hillsborough River in Tampa to supply fresh water to the growing Ybor City and residents beyond. After falling into disrepair for many years, it was purchased and heavily renovated by the 1905 Family of Restaurants to become Ulele, a destination offering pre-Columbian Florida-inspired cuisine and a rotation of local-inspired beers.
In that time, Ulele has grown into a crown jewel and beloved destination along Tampa's much-visited Riverwalk. The beers, which you can enjoy along the 2.6-mile riverwalk, are the brainchild of Ulele's brewmaster Tim Shackton, who joined the Ulele team a full 2 years before the opening of the restaurant.
Making sure Ulele is an important part of the fabric of Tampa's vibrant culture is Jeff Houck, VP of Marketing of the 1905 Family of Restaurants (best known for Columbia Restaurant, Florida's oldest restaurant). Jeff is a guru when it comes to all things Tampa History, even co-authoring a fantastic book about the history of the Cuban sandwich.
I spoke to Tim and Jeff about Columbia's beer-related history, their location along the Hillsborough River and Tampa's Riverwalk, and the surprising beer style Ulele did not open with.

Since May 2017, Ivanhoe Park Brewing Co. has been making beers in the city they readily and openly celebrate--Orlando. In that time, they've grown their regional footprint and their brewing space with the opening of the Ivanhoe Park Lager House last year, located close to Camping World Stadium.
All of that is headed up by Co-founder Glenn Closson. We spoke to Glenn about leaving Southern CA to brew in Orlando, supporting and being supported by Ivanhoe Village and OBT Next, and how you can own your own special part of the business.

Florida's wine industry has been around for generations, but still has not quite gotten the respect and attention it deserves. To chat about this, we went to one of Florida's largest wineries, Keel Farms, located in Plant City.
The business is now under its second generation of operation with Clay Keel, current owner and president of Keel Farms. Under his ownership, Keel Farms has turned from a farm and winery to a major destination in Hillsborough County. We spoke to him about building that destination tasting room, ciders, and beers made at Keel Farms, and (most importantly) Florida's wine industry overall and the wide variety of wine products they make.

Bonita Springs isn't quite as sleepy as it used to be. It's also cultivating a small but mighty beer scene, helped out by yearly events like the Bonita Brew Fest.
This year's event took place at Riverside Park, right in downtown Bonita Springs and pretty close to my favorite Everglades Wonder Gardens. It's also sponsored by the Southwest Florida Brew Crafters, and we start today's episode speaking to John Newman, president of the Brew Crafters to learn more about the organization, the event, and the SWFL beer scene in general.
From there, we will also be chatting with the CEO of the newly-opened Swamp Cat Brewing, Chris Gutirrez, Bill Vaughn and his new Kaleidoscope Brewing, Coastal Dayz Brewing owner Alex Tatko, Point Ybel Brewing owner Jordan Weisberg, and Scotty's Bierwerks Head Brewer Max Maldorf. It was quite the busy day! Listen in...

Happy New Year! Let's start 2025 off BIG. Sailfish Brewing is easily the largest brewery in St. Lucie County, possibly the entire Treasure Coast. There are a few others that may hold claim to that, but Sailfish has been doing quite well for themselves in their downtown Ft. Pierce home. We sat down with President and Co-Founder of Sailfish Brewing, David BuShea, and longtime friend of the podcast and Sailfish Sales Manager, Brian Tonnessen, to talk about their humble beginnings in the yellow house and bringing craft beer to Ft. Pierce. Listen in...

For the Florida Beer Podcast, North Miami Brewfest is the gift that keeps on giving with amazing breweries celebrating beer and the south Florida beer scene every year. Our gracious hosts once again are the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Florida International University, as they put this festival on every year. We start this episode with Chef John Noble Massey, head chef of the ultra-exclusive and frankly amazing looking FIU Bistro on the FIU/Chaplin School's Biscayne Bay campus. From there we speak to Carrie from soon to open Scarab Brewing, who's Golden Stout was a particular hit of my entire team. Unseen Creatures has just announced a merger with Prison Pals, so we spoke once again to Prison Pals' Brewmaster Diego Setti, along with Joaquin Lozano and Nacho, the new owners of Unseen Creatures about what this partnership is going to look like. From there we touch base with Rudy and Ricardo from Rocketeer Beer, the winners of both last year and this year's Best Beer at the event, with an update on their soon-to-open Kendall brewery. We finish up with co-founders Michael and Carlos from LemonDade Hard Seltzer, an amazing seltzer that also won third place for the beer competition and their incredible seltzers. Listen in...

I do enjoy a good beer fest. Happily, I was able to enjoy a good beer fest and one that I had not been to before! And while Champions Beerfest has been on the Florida Beer Podcast before, that was pre-COVID and, unfortunately, I never got the chance to attend. But, it was back--in a new home at Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach. I spoke with organizer Jim Hammett and host Virginia Sinicki of 97.9 WRMF's KVJ show about the festival, brands represented, and their beneficiary Little Smiles (LittleSmilesFL.org). From there, I chatted a bit with Lorenzo Borghese, founder of South Beach Brewing, Chris Hall of Noxx and Dunn Florida Rum, and Amyad Amra of Two Drums Florida Rum Cocktail, all of which were happy to provide a little insight into their brands and how they are able to spread a little Florida sunshine through their products.

On today's episode, we are doing two interviews at once! Wicked Dolphin has, in the past, made special collaboration series with breweries around the state of Florida. Their current partnership is with Ft. Myers Brewing, who is currently aging a beer in a Wicked Dolphin barrel. But that's not really where the partnership ends, as they both have had similar starts, hiccups, and factors in play in their southwest Florida homes of Ft. Myers and (for Wicked Dolphin) Cape Coral. In this spirit (no pun intended), we sat down with Jen Whyte and TJ Jewell from Ft. Myers Brewing and Joseph Termini from Wicked Dolphin about opening and crafting a following in Lee County, marketing and creating a destination for locals and visitors to come to, and being a trailblazer for the growing craft beer and spirits scene in the area.

It's time for our big, final episode of Mezcal Lauderdale, the Grand Tasting! Held at Sistrunk Marketplace this year, the Grand Tasting brings together fantastic expressions of Mezcal, Bacanora, Sotol, and more.

Some of them, like Xicaru, are returning friends to the podcast, while others are brand new to the show. All information will be listed to our show notes for the sake of brevity.

Men In The Making is a Pinellas County-based program that pairs minority boys in and around St. Petersburg with community leaders and mentors. Their purpose is to provide the strong role models needed to shape the future and life choices of their mentees "from cradle to college." They recently premiered their own drink--a fruit punch-flavored sparkling water--with their friends at 3 Daughters Brewing. This special blend is available around the area, and has been a great success in bringing funding and attention to this amazing cause. To learn more, and get a sneak peek at the next iterations, we sat down with Men in the Making Founder Rev. Kenny Irby, mentor Clayton Sizemore, and 3 Daughters Brewing's VP of Marketing Brian Horne.

This is Part 2 of our interview at MIA Bruhaus! If you haven't, I'd recommend you go back and listen to episode 172, first. MIA Bruhaus has been around almost as long as Florida Beer Blog. Starting life as MIA Beer Co., they've been releasing a wide variety of delicious beers from their Doral home since 2014. I sat down with Founder, Eddie Leon, to talk about getting into the craft beer industry in south Florida, getting into (and out of and finally back into) distribution, their new line of spirits, and exactly why they had to open with a kitchen. Listen in...

Brewsaki is a south Florida-based rice lager starting to gain significant traction in both the restaurant scene and package sales around the state. It is the brainchild of Dr. Rob Streisfeld--part of a larger vision to bring the fun of the sake bomb out of sushi bars and to the masses. I spoke to Rob about his sake bomb invention, the recipe for Brewsaki, and next steps for growing the brand. Listen in...

For this week's episode, we are in the nation's oldest city, St Augustine. It has no shortage of tours to take, from the near ubiquitous trams to an overwhelming plethora of ghost tours each evening. Very few take a look at both the history of the city and the amazing things that are going on right now. St. Augustine Experiences is different. Their founder, Alex Drywa, has crafted a number of fantastic tours that obviously look at the history, but also take a look at some of the amazing things that are happening right now. One of those tours looks exclusively at beer, as St. Augustine has been enjoying a resurgence as of late. We spoke to Alex after taking his Craft Beer tour about the history of beer in St. Augustine, his experiences as a tour guide, and enjoying St. Augustine's growing beer (and foodie) scene.

While the city of Port Orange is not Daytona Beach, they are close enough to where the uninitiated could easily be confused by the two. Even though Dunes Brewing is in Port Orange, it is just over the Dunlawton Bridge in a tiny little portion of Port Orange that sits on the barrier island completely surrounded by Daytona Beach Shores. Since opening in 2021 (almost underneath the Dunlawton bridge), Dunes has been releasing an amazing amount of beers and special events--even including a full day of Luchador wrestling! I spoke to Dunes Co-founder Michael Benedict and Sasha Staton, Advertising Manager for Benedict Marketing, about the creation of the brewery, the beers they like to make, and much more. Listen in...

Founded in 2011, Four Hands Brewing has become one of the largest craft breweries in all of eastern Missouri. Their flagship beer, City Wide, is just that--available pretty much everywhere in St. Louis proper and beyond. They've been the inspiration and collaborator to a number of breweries around the country--especially Tripping Animals in Doral. In fact, Tripping Animals was one of the five breweries chosen for their current series of collaborations based around the famous '80s television show, Voltron. I had the opportunity to sit down with Four Hands CEO and President, Kevin Lemp, to talk about making beer in the shadow of one of the largest breweries on the planet--both Four Hands and their sister distillery 1220 Spirits, and, of course, that Voltron collaboration.

Situated in north Florida, just south of the intersection between Interstates 10 and 75, is the town of Lake City. Formerly known as Alligator Village by the Seminoles, it became a major railroad hub in the early 20th century. Its influence is starting to rise again with Halpatter Brewing--Lake City's only brewery and a significant player in the north Florida beer scene. In their historic building, we sat down with co-founders Chris Candler and Jeremy Gable to talk about building their brewery, the importance of Lake City to the Halpatter story, and some of the more colorful stories that they have had to endure in their relatively short existence.

A couple weeks ago was the latest iteration of the North Miami Brewfest, put on by and benefiting the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Florida International University. This year, the popular festival was at NoMI Village--a wonderfully designed, relaxed event space in the heart of North Miami Beach, just off Interstate 95. As usual, this is one of the best beer festivals in the state of Florida and had no shortage of amazing food and beer to enjoy. For today's episode, we reached out to a number of different groups in attendance to understand a little bit about who they were and what they brought to the event. I was very happy to speak to both La Birra Bar (winner of the best food award) and Rocketeer Beer (winner of the best beer award) at the event. We also spoke with Uncommon Path, Johnny Cuba, La Tropical, plus our friends at the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Development and the Bartender's Guild at that same school. You'll hear some familiar voices and some you've never heard before; but, as always, it was a great time and a wonderful event to be at. Listen in...

Since being founded in 2008, Swamphead Brewery has grown well beyond its Gainesville home to become a major beacon of craft beer in Central and North Florida. With a combination of craft beer, environmental care and consideration, and a killer taproom, Swamphead shows no signs of slowing down. To learn a bit more, Producer Steve and I visited The Wetlands (that killer taproom) and sat down with Shane Matthews, head brewer and cellerperson, to talk more about the recipes and Florida's love for Big Nose IPA, Swamphead's commitment to environmental protection, and so much more.

I can hardly think of a building in Florida more apt to house a brewery than a 100+ year old ice plant with its own aquifer well on a tree-lined street in a college town. This is Cypress and Grove, named for the old intersection on which the brewery sits (now known by the decidedly less colorful 10th Ave. and 4th St.). We sat down with founder and owner, Gary Heil, to talk about the brewery, it's incredible history, and the importance of community. Listen in...

It's time once again for the Treasure Coast Wine and Ale Trail Festival! This annual festival celebrates everything about the growing craft beer, wine, and now distilleries in Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties.
Last year, we visited the festival and spoke to representatives from all three counties. This year we are back and speaking to the breweries themselves! We spoke to Derek Gerry and Pat Kirchner from Mash Monkeys in Indian River County, Dwayne Buchholz and Chef Jesse from Side Door brewing in St. Lucie County, and Etienne Bourgeois, owner of Frasier Creek Brewery and Distillery in Martin County. But first, Producer Steve took the audio equipment to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival! He's a brewer now, and headed to the event with his brewery but also chatted with some others along the way!

High Springs in Alachua County is known primarily for the nearby springs and for a good amount of antiquing stores. But since opening a few years ago, High Springs Brewing has become a central meeting point for the city. In Part One, we speak to Head Brewer and Co-Founder Kiffin Ayers and Brewer Evan Ekasala about creating a brewery in this North Florida town, revamping an old ironwork studio for their use, and bringing the residents and municipality of High Springs on board with their vision.

Welcome to Ocala, home of the Ocala National Forest and Horse Capital of the World! While either of those would make an excellent theme for a local brewery, Hiatus Brewing instead decided to make their brewpub operation more of a tropical oasis in the middle of North Central Florida. On today's episode, we speak to Hiatus Brewing co-founder and brewer, Lucas Frank, about his medical background and moving to Ocala, deciding to open a brewery, some of the challenges and benefits of brewing in Ocala and Marion County, and the inspiration behind their wonderfully fun and tropical name and tap room. But first, there's a bunch of awesome beer festivals coming to Florida next week and in the coming months, and we need to give a quick rundown of everything you can visit. Listen in...

To celebrate and bring awareness to their mission, they are hosting a series of events in Florida along with releases of three beers brewed by Tripping Animals Brewing in Miami. We will speak to Tripping Animals co-founder Ignacio Montenegro and with Jane Watkins from the Center for Great Apes to learn more about the Center, discover the beginnings of the releases, and learn a bit more about the styles coming out and the animals whose artwork graces each can. Event details can also be found on Eventbrite by searching Center For Great Apes. From there, we head to Tampa and Ulele, a fantastic restaurant and brewery owned by Columbia Restaurant Group. To celebrate Autumnal Equinox, brewmaster Tim Shackton has created DryFall, a Vienna Lager-IPA hybrid that is expertly crafted for Tampa's hopheads. We'll talk to Tim to get a little background on the beer and how he developed the recipe. Listen in...

SFL Hops is a south Florida (obviously)-based beer organization disseminating information, organizing meetups, and doing so much more. One of their recent events was the SFL Hops Beer Fest, a beer festival and homebrew competition that was held this summer in June at Riverside Market South. They were gracious enough to invite us, and we were smart enough to bring our recording equipment to learn more about what some area homebrewers think about the state of homebrewing today. We start with Stuart Skopit--SFL Hops founder--to talk about the organization and the day's event. From there, we caught up with our good friend Albert Rivera, co-founder of Bread and Beer Buds and Lab Tech at the Fermentation Lab at FIU. He's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to brewing and gave us a little insight about the role and interest in education for homebrewers. Then let's talk to some homebrewers! We start with Rudy Delgado from Rocketeer Beer, who had their beer named for yours truly on tap that day! From there, we chat with Juan Salas from Cinta Verde Brewing, John Gallarte from Little Brewing Co., and Herman Fuenmayor from Dancing Calavera Brewing Company. Finally, we catch up with David Carrion from Bonita Beach Brewing right after they won Best Homebrewer at the competition. And, to get the attendee perspective, Luis Cotto from "Beard Brews and Food & Beer Pressure: The Podcast" was gracious enough to hop over to our show for a bit. And, in the end, we sat down for a quick moment with Adrian Zamudio from Tiny Mallet Designs--maker of all-wood steins that are absolutely fantastic. I'm using mine right now. Listen in...

Heard any interesting news about Funky Buddha Brewing? For Episode 150, we are heading to Oakland Park for a super-sized episode with Funky Buddha Brewery owner (re-owner?), Ryan Sentz. Interestingly enough, we recorded this right after their 10th anniversary--also the day they signed the paperwork officially repurchasing the brand from Constellation! We had a nice conversation about the humble beginnings, lessons learned from Constellation, the how and why of repurchasing the brewery, and what's next on the horizon for Funky Buddha. Listen in...

For as long as I remember in Florida craft beer, Orange Blossom Pilsner has been there. OBP and the company that makes it, Orange Blossom Brewing, is the brainchild of brewer Tom Moench, brewed for and firmly rooted in the central Florida brewing community. On today's episode, we spoke to Tom about the creation of OBP and its sister brands OBP2 and City Beautiful IPA, brewing at BrewHub in Lakeland, Orlando's craft beer scene, and the past and future of Florida craft beer. After listening, make sure to check out a version of the carbonator he invented, as well as the links to The Beer Hunter with Michael Jackson. Listen in...

There is nothing like a good Florida Rum... A quick stone's throw from Walking Tree Brewing (literally, if you play MLB) in Vero Beach is Indian River Distillery, Florida's newest distillery! Opened by Ray and Mandy Hooker earlier this year, Indian River Distillery has opened with an initial spread of rum, corn whiskey, vodka, and a lot more currently aging away for us to enjoy in the future. As craft distilling is really taking off in the state, we spoke to co-owner Ray Hooker about opening a distillery--especially in a community that had not had a distillery before, creating recipes, and a little history lesson about the Notorious Ashley Gang.

It's always an exciting time to scope out a new brewery! That's why, when taking a look at breweries in Miami to go interview on a recent trip, I was amazed and intrigued to see the brand new Magic 13 show up on my radar. The brainchild of Co-Founders Richard Fayad, Ricardo Romano, and head brewer Jean Taboada, Magic 13 is exactly the swanky, cool vibe of a brewery and taproom Miami loves. With a massive outdoor beer garden, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a killer tap list, Magic 13 is a great time and a welcome addition to the Miami craft beer scene.
I spoke to Jean and Richard to understand more about the Magic 13 experience, the genesis of the project and wanting to bring it to Miami, and Jean's background as the head brewer at 13 Pesos in Columbia, plus the differences between beer in Colombia vs. the US. Listen in...

Mezcal Lauderdale is back! Last year this amazing festival launched to rave reviews. We were able to go, and it was an absolutely fantastic time: very well-organized, a lot of fantastic expressions to try, and a ton to learn!
Since the event is back, we welcomed organizer Andrew Martineau to the show. He'll tell us about his personal mezcal journey, how well last year's event was received, and everything coming to Mezcal Lauderdale 2023. Listen in...

While Florida is best known for rum, a lot of other spirits are finding a home in the Sunshine State. Two of those spirits are Victor George Vodka and the fantastic Fort Mosé Bourbon. Both are the brainchild of industry veteran, Victor Harvey. We recently sat down with Victor to understand his impetus in creating both brands and how advertising two distinctly different spirits with two very different brands can be challenging. We also spoke about the real Fort Mosé, going into the history (and future) of this critically important (yet, forgotten) part of Florida's history and how the bourbon will help preserve this story for generations to come.

Today's guest wrote the book on IPAs. Literally, it's available now and pretty popular.
That author is Mitch Steele, former brewmaster at Stone Brewing and currently the co-founder, brewmaster, and COO at New Realm Brewing in Atlanta. He is also a prodigious collaborator, even having traveled to Florida to brew with people like Doral's Prison Pals.
Over the next few episodes, we will speak to Mitch regarding his time at Stone and helping to make the IPA what it is today, creating and developing New Realm Brewing along Atlanta's famed BeltLine, preferred beer styles in the Peach State, and the development of a distillery at New Realm.

Welcome to Georgia! From time to time to time I travel, and if I'm going to hit the road, you're coming with me. We are starting our adventure in Georgia in Decatur, home of the Brick Store Pub. They were highly recommended to me, and it's not difficult to see why. An absolute killer of a constantly rotating tap list, a 130+ year old location retaining every single ounce of charm, amazing food (with a kitchen staff exuding an energy that literally explodes from the back), and Neil. Neil is Neil Callaghan, the Beer Manager at Brick Store Pub and one of 3 Advanced Cicerones in the state of Georgia. After 7 years as Marketing Manager at Tampa's Cigar City Brewing, Neil returns to Brick Store to carefully curate 3 distinctly different bars, an aging cellar, and so much more. We speak to Neil about his time at Cigar City, main differences between Florida and Georgia craft beer, working and returning to Brick Store Pub, the absolute joys of Belgian beer, and the beer brewed for them by none other than St. Bernardus.

Remember when we spoke to Greg Berbusse -- Head Brewer at Bay 13 Brewery in Coral Gables? Well, that interview was amazingly gracious, since he was in the middle of getting ready for Woop Woop Beer Fest, Bay 13's first beer fest and celebration of Australia Day! What follows is a little smattering of what attendees got to see, from a small portion of the breweries that attended. You'll hear mini-interviews with Haidar Hachem from Shojo Brewing, Betty Mejia from Motorworks Brewing in Bradenton, Travis Prince from American Icon Brewery in Vero Beach, Todd Space from Est. 33 in Brickell, and Kevin Shaw from If I Brewed The World in St. Petersburg. Food was a big component of the event, and a very special co-host joined me to interview Chef Aaron Brooks -- Executive Chef at Four Seasons Hotel Miami. There might even be an extra special interview at the end as well...

Bay 13 is a bit of an anomaly: an Australian brewpub in the heart of Coral Gables. It sounds like a lot on paper, but it works quite well. It has a fantastic location, great food, and, of course, great beer. That last part is the handiwork of Head Brewer, Greg Berbusse. Originally from Little Rock, Greg was scouted by Bay 13 and made the move to Miami-Dade just before COVID. We joined him as the final preparations for their first Woop Woop Beer Fest were being finished to talk about his education, adjusting to the South Florida craft beer scene, and making an authentic Australian beer.

If we didn't record this right before Tequesta Brewing's 12th anniversary party, I would have stuck around much, much longer.

There are very few people on my 'wish list' of interviews, and Fran Andrewelevich was near the top of that list. Ask any Palm Beach County brewer, and you'll see why. After leaving his head brewer position at Brewzzi, Fran created three of Palm Beach County's biggest breweries: Tequesta Brewing, Twisted Trunk Brewing, and Steam Horse Brewing. We'll chat with Fran about his background, opening up three completely different breweries in Palm Beach, and hear some of his stories as a mainstay in the craft beer community. Listen in...

It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sort of location--but, hopefully, not for long! Situated in a former gas station, the Dixie Grill and Brewery opened as the Dixie Grill and Bar along U.S. 1 (Dixie Highway, hence the name) in 2004. The original owners were twins, Richard and Jay Preefer--themselves series restauranteurs. Richard has since passed the business on to his daughter, Rachel, and her husband, Jason Matta--both craft beer afficionados and the driving force behind installing their small but mighty brewing system and transforming the business entirely. We'll speak to the Mattas as they describe the history of taking over the family business, crafting beer, and the expansion currently under construction next door.

We are back with Part 2 of our interview with Dave Lester, Head Brewer at Unseen Creatures Brewing and Blending in Miami. We're getting into a lot of great beer discussion now with talk about their massive foeders, experimenting, and that fantastic label art they are so widely regarded for. We are also going to chat about Florida Strong, the collaboration beer release beaded up by Dave himself along with brewers from across South and Southeast Florida to help victims of Hurricane Ian.

In Florida's craft beer scene, few breweries have traditions as sought after and anticipated as the holiday village at 3 Daughters Brewing in St. Pete. Now encompassing 13 tables and over 300 individual houses, this is set up and maintained by Bruce Harting, military vet and grandfather to the eponymous 3 daughters. Since his son and daughter-in-law own the brewery, he has been asked to set up this rapidly growing village every year since they opened. We spoke to Bruce to get the details about this year-round project, how big it has grown, and what is coming in the future. Afterward, we chat with Brian Horne, 3 Daughters' VP of Marketing and Sales, to find out what awesome holiday beers are coming to St. Pete to enjoy while taking in all of the lights. Listen in...

It's almost to the end of World Cup 2022! And that is important to note since the preferred team of this week's interview is still in the mix for winning it all. We are back in Doral, back with Prison Pals, and back with friend of the podcast Juan Pipkin--Founder of this amazing brewery that has, in recent years, exploded in popularity. They have opened up one tap room in Oakland Park, the second one in Doral is about to open, and they basically have two different lines of beers running concurrently. Their smoothie and hazy line gets a lot of street cred; and, their classic, standard beers are going through a massive visual refresh. It's amazing to see everything they have going on, and I was very lucky to chat with Juan to get all the details. We shall see if Leo Messi and his team are as lucky! Listen in...

If you didn't go to the Treasure Coast Wine and Ale Trail, you definitely missed one of the most chill, enjoyable, and fun beer festivals in Florida. You also missed a great celebration of three of the most relaxing and fantastic counties in the state: Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River! That is where we are starting our podcast today, chatting with Ian Centrone from Discover Martin, Kirk Funnel from Visit Indian River, and Charlotte Bierley from Visit St. Lucie. I spoke with each of them to get a bit of flavor from their respective counties, understand the great breweries and other tourist destinations there are, and find a great place for a post-festival meal. From there, I welcomed back Pete Anderson to the podcast. He's the owner and brewer at Pareidolia Brewing in Sebastian, and a co-founder of the Treasure Coast Wine & Ale Trail itself. I spoke to Pete to get a history of the trail, the festival, and what the future looks like for craft on the Treasure Coast.

North Miami Brewfest 2022 is in the books! This event, hosted by the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism at Florida International University’s Biscayne Bay campus, is now in it’s 10th year. And if you didn’t go, you missed a fantastic event. A ton of great beer, lots of incredible food, awesome seminars, and even a 360-degree camera I didn’t try. Before the event started, we set up some space and had a few great conversations. Our first discussion was with Chaplin School Faculty Administrator Mohammad Qureshi and Fermentation Lab Technician Albert Rivera. We spoke about the growth of the Chaplin School and the North Miami Brewfest. We also spoke about FIU’s own offerings at the event, including some of the best spent grain bread I’ve had. After that, just as the event really got started, I had a conversation with two Chaplin School alumni: Temple Street Eatery co-founder Alex Kuk and Cerveceria La Tropical head brewer Matthew Weintraub. We spoke about their time at FIU and the importance of being at North Miami Brewfest. Listen in…

It's amazing exactly how varied malt can really be. It's almost the unsung flavor workhorse of the brewing experience, and I never feel it gets the love it deserves. Enter Riverbend Malt House in Asheville, NC. Riverbend has been producing fantastic standard and custom malt blends for brewers for years. To give us the details, we spoke to Florida Territory Sales Manager, Tyler Adams. Tyler's job is to spread the word of Riverbend around the sunshine state, and he gave us the full rundown of malting in general and Riverbend in particular. We even spoke about some of the fun collaborations he's been doing with Florida breweries.

I am a big fan of regional ale trails–especially when they have the support of local tourism boards. The Treasure Coast Wine and Ale Trail is one such example, and is fully supported by Indian River, Martin, and St. Lucie counties. That support extends to the Treasure Coast Wine and Ale Trail Festival coming up on Nov. 19th. It will be on the grounds of Trail founder, Summer Crush Winery, located in Ft. Pierce. We will chat with Allen Cooley from Summer Crush to learn a bit more about operating a winery on Florida’s Atlantic coast, wines they are producing, and everything you need to know when it comes to the Festival.

One of our absolute favorite beer festivals is back this Saturday, November 12th! We are heading to the North Miami Brewfest, hosted by the Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Florida International University. As this event grows, even more of the Chaplin School is participating! Today in Part 1, we're welcoming Dr. Michael Cheng, Dean of the Chaplin School, back to the podcast to talk all about this year’s event, the awesome school participation, and more – so much more, especially with the growing number of Chaplin School alumni in South Florida’s rapidly growing beer scene.

Florida's Craft Beer industry began on Feb. 15th, 1897 with the opening of the Florida Brewery in Ybor City, Tampa. Until its closure in the 1960s, the Florida Brewery supplied beer, namely La Tropical, to the vibrant Ybor community. After the building fell into ruin, it was obtained by and is now the home of the law firm, Swope Rodante. We spoke to Dale Swope, half of Swope Rodante, about his background in Tampa and the history of the Florida Brewery, their conservation efforts, and his support of the Tampa craft beer scene.

We are (or were) live at Oktoberfest at the American German Club of the Palm Beaches! Decades-long, this event is as popular as ever featuring authentic German beers, food, shopping, rides for the kids, and so much more. We started back with our friend Jay Vollstedt as he gave us a fantastic tour of the American German Club’s richly detailed clubhouse. We also talked about how this year’s Oktoberfest is going (very well) along with some of the other events coming to the Club. From there, we spoke to Christina Vollstedt about the amazing German fashion seen at the event. Christina runs the clothing store at the American German Club and keeps it well stocked with fashions directly from Germany. She gave us a full rundown of what to wear for both men and women, and I finally understand what lederhosen are. Listen in….

Prost! It’s October, so it’s Oktoberfest time! And while your local brewery is almost contractually obligated to celebrate with some excellent German-style beers, Oktoberfest is so much more than that. To get the info, we spoke with Jay Vollstedt, Member Committee Chair of the American-German Club of the Palm Beaches. The club has been in existence since the late 60’s, and has hosted their own authentic Oktoberfest since 1974. Jay just returned from Germany a few days ago, and was gracious enough to go over the history of Oktoberfest, what this year’s event was like in Munich, and what to expect from this year’s event in Lake Worth.

Matt Manthe is a friend to microbes. From his collegiate years studying microbiology to his time brewing from North Carolina to Boca Raton, he has developed an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the critters that make beer… well, beer. For almost 5 years, he has taken his talents to Odd Breed Wild Ales in Pompano Beach, where he is able to ferment, blend, and create some of the most amazingly delicate, yet artfully refined and flavor-forward wild ales found in the US (and beyond). Listen with us today as we finish our discussion into Odd Breed, including a glimpse into releases yet to come in 2022, plus the description of his awesome kitty cat logo!

I have been lucky enough to watch the brewery now known as NOBO brewery grow up and evolve in Palm Beach County. Owned and operated by Tim and Steve Dornblaser, designed by Tim's architect wife Jessica, they've been an anchor in Boynton Beach's Brewery District for years.
Producer Steve and I sat down with Tim Dornblaser in their newly expanded tap room to discuss craft beer in Palm Beach County in general and Boynton Beach in particular, the joys of barrel aging stouts, and location, location, location.

We continue down Old US 41 in Bonita Springs, past the abundance of killer Mexican restaurants, and into a newer industrial park anchored by Hopsized Brewing. Hopsized is owned and operated by husband and wife team Ana Rodriguez de Vera and Darlyn Victor. Former Miami natives, Ana and Darlyn have taken Darlyn’s love of beer and transformed it into a community hub. Joined once again by Bonita Springs native, Florida Man News host, and frequent Hopsized patron Joel Lounds, we speak to Darlyn and Ana about creating that meeting space for Southwest Florida, the craft beer explosion in Bonita Springs, and getting your beers sneakily entered into beer competitions…

Old U.S. 41 drives right through the heart of the classic downtown Bonita Springs--a drag currently in the process of a well-deserved revitalization. At one end, not too far from Riverside Park, is Ceremony Brewing. Ceremony is the brainchild of local craft beer aficionado, Zach Smith. Not only is Zach bringing along his love of a myriad of beer styles (some of which I never thought I would see in southwest Florida), but he has also devoted a section of his tap room to one of the most complete bottle shops I've ever seen. Joined by Bonita Springs native and Florida Man News host, Joel Lounds, we speak to Zach about retrofitting an historic building for brewing, bringing some wild styles to Bonita Springs, and the possibility of his beer names summoning an Elder God.

Welcome to Part 2 of our agave spirit exploration! After attending Mezcal Lauderdale a few months ago, we are doing a deep dive of Mexican agave spirits (that aren’t tequila) that we not only sampled at the event, but are also available for YOU to try here in Florida. On the last episode, we discovered the difference between tequila and mezcal. Now, we’re going to find out the difference between mezcal and bacanora with Vinateros Bacanora. They are imported into the US through Jacksonville-based Gigglewater Imports and co-owner, Chris Allison. He’ll give us the rundown on bacanora and Vinateros, along with why Florida is such a great place to import spirits. From there, we finish up with Borderland Spirits and owner Michael Hurley. Borderland is the exclusive U.S. distributor of both Batuq brand bacanoras and Mazot bacanoras and palmilla as well. There’s a lot of great distilling history with these brands, and Michael will walk us through it all. Listen in…

Yes, today we Mexico! The first Mezcal Lauderdale event was held at Le Meridien Dania Beach in May, organized by the same team behind the awesome yearly FemAle Brew Fest. This event brought mezcal (and more) producers and distributors from around Mexico to sample, discuss, and celebrate! As part of the festivities, I spoke to a number of awesome distributors and will be featuring some of them on the podcast. Today, we're speaking to Dennis Barnett, partner for DC Craft Spirits, the exclusive importer of Xicaru mezcal to the US. We spoke with Dennis about the difference between mezcal and its more well-known family member, tequila, the different expressions of Xicaru available, and how they use their profits to give back to the communities making Xicaru.

Collaborations are a way of life in the craft beer industry. Whether with other brewers, celebrities, or charitable organizations, it's not hard to find a local brewery with a collaboration on tap. To celebrate their one year anniversary, Dogfish Head Miami decided to brew a collaboration as well! The brewery they chose was much-lauded Athens, GA-based Creature Comforts brewing, bringing some amazing ingredients with them to brew a special collab beer due out in July.
In the downtime, we spoke to Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione along with Creature Comforts CEO Chris Herron and COO Adam Beauchamp about this collaboration, the importance of collaborations in general, and more. Plus we chat with Creature Comforts about their recent collaborations with Run The Jewels and the newly released Dogfish Head Miami collaboration with former Miami Heat star Chris Bosh! Afterward, at Sam's insistence, we went up to the control room and spoke for a few with Paul Frederickson, Head Brewer at Dogfish Head Miami. We spoke about the delicious adjuncts they used for this collaboration beer while keeping the microphone out of the hands of his amazing 5-month old co-brewer.

While surrounded by the aroma of tangerines being prepped for their newest release, we spoke to founder Kent Bailey on their home in Ybor, their place in Tampa's beer community, and the oft-repeated history of their namesake mythical monster.

We're back in the Grand Central District of St. Petersburg today, getting our Mario Kart on. Right Around the Corner Arcade Brewery is one of the smallest breweries in the Tampa/St. Pete area, but has one of the best brewery experiences. Tons of pinball games, old-school game consoles, and really excellent beer. While my daughter played rather loud games of Skee-Ball in the back, I spoke to co-owner and brewer, Tom Rockhill, about opening a brewery and filling it with lots and lots of games. Plenty of time was spent discussing not only the joys of brewing on a small system along with how the old NES zappers are completely useless these days. Listen in...

Big Storm Brewing in Clearwater got some pretty awesome equipment recently, so, now’s as good a time as ever to check in with them! Instead of letting excess CO2 produced during fermentation simply escape, Big Storm now captures and repurposes it–limiting Big Storm’s impact on the environment. We sat down with owner LG Govoni on a busy Thursday night to discuss their new CO2 scrubber, along with their recent and future expansions, and more. Listen in…

We're starting off an awesome 5-episode Tampa Bay trip with Bastet Brewing--one of Tampa's newest breweries! Opened last year by homebrewing buddies, Huston Lett and Tom Ross, this brewery on the outskirts of Ybor City pays homage to Egyptian mythology and the cradle of civilization. Along with Johnny Crosskey from Tampa-based Craft Beer Ballers, listen to Huston and Tom as they discuss how the story of Bastet is the story of how beer saved the world! Of course, we'll also talk about getting their start brewing and finding a location in a rapidly growing real estate market.

Florida's Craft Beer Industry is (happily) no stranger to making great releases to support important causes. We are featuring two such beers from two North Florida breweries on this episode. First is Watchstander IPA from Jacksonville's Veterans United. This beer is brewed to support and raise awareness to The Fire Watch--a Florida organization created to end veteran suicide. We speak to president and brewmaster, Ron Gamble, about veteran suicide and the importance of Watchstander in bringing awareness to this crisis. After that, we speak to Bryan Burroughs, co-founder of Proof Brewing in Tallahassee. They are one of many breweries around the world making From San to Don--an imperial stout created by Pravda Brewery in Ukraine. We'll chat about their decision to make this beer and the importance of raising awareness to them. Listen in...

We are heading down the crypto rabbit hole on today's podcast! NFTs are starting to make some significant inroads in Florida's craft beer community; so, now is as good a time as ever to talk about it. We start with our friends at The Tank Brewing in Doral. Coming up on March 17th, they are releasing a beer and NFT project with their friends at Keg Plebs. Our conversation starts with SJ and Izaac--artists that started the Keg Plebs and Plebs Passport program, along with Stefano and Mikey from The Tank to understand what an NFT is, the details on Keg Plebs, and the beer release that is coming up next month. From there, we head north to Lauderhill and Yeasty Brews.

Who doesn't love free beer? And who wouldn't love an app to show them where to get the free beer? That's where Craftapped comes in. Members get exclusive access to deals from around our state (and many others as well). They've been in Florida for a minute, and are always looking to expand. To learn more, we spoke to Brian Turner, partner at Craftapped, to understand more about the origins of the app and how beer drinkers (and breweries!) can get more out of using it. Listen in...

Malt is, surprisingly, much more complicated and varied than I had originally thought! And, sometimes, a Florida brewery goes out-of-state to find just what they are looking for. That's what I learned when I spoke to Brent Manning, Co-founder of Riverbend Malt House in Asheville, NC. He had just flown back from Pensacola, doing a special 10th anniversary oyster stout with Bowigens Beer Company. So we spoke to Brent to understand the history and technique of malting, the incredible variety of flavors you can achieve, and dumping an entire cake into the mash tun at Bowigens.

In that time, they've grown to be an anchor of the community, bringing in a now-loyal army of locals, along with the fluttering flock of snowbirds that are starting to come south for the season. We spoke to co-founder, Josh Brinzo, his brother and head brewer, Christian Brinzo, and their amazing head chef, Ray Rizard, about crafting a full beer and food menu, opening during COVID, and getting ready for those annual visitors from the north.

Marketing is a vital part of every business, including craft beer. Some campaigns are merely passable, and some are true works of art. To celebrate the latter, the Craft Beer Marketing Awards (colloquially known as the "Crushies") were created. We speak to CBMA co-founder Jim McCune about the importance of marketing in craft beer, the history of the event, and how breweries can register for 2022. Listen in...

Todd Space's background as a high school science teacher helped to further his focus and interest in brewing beer. Finally, after 16 years in Miami-Dade classrooms (and more domestically and abroad), Todd took his science knowhow and curriculum-creating skills to establish Miami's Master Brewer Academy. We chat with Todd to learn more about the MBA and how he is helping to create Miami's next generation of brewers. He's also brewing himself as part of the team that opened Est. 33 Thai Craft Brewery and Kitchen in Brickell City Centre. This exciting new Thai Fusion restaurant features a full lineup of beers to complement the tapas-style menu. We will also get a great sneak preview from Todd of Miami's first-ever Miami Beer Week this September--an event Est. 33 will be hosting. Listen in...

It's all in the family today with the Florida Beer Podcast - Cigar edition! Plasencia has been in the tobacco business since 1865.

Their U.S. operations is now based in Doral, close to their partners at The Tank Brewing and Family Cigar Shop. Today's episode is Part 1 of our interview with Plasencia VP Jose Luis Plasencia and The Tank founder Carlos Padron about the history of Plasencia, how they operate in the tobacco business today, and even their line of all-organic cigars, the first and only in the cigar industry.

It's an all-spirits episode of the Florida Beer Podcast! We can't live on beer alone.... So, we start with LS Cream Liqueur, based in Montreal and produced here in Jacksonville. It's a liqueur based on the Haitian staple Cremas, and we speak to LS founders Myriam Jean-Baptiste and Stevens Charles about how their Haitian backgrounds influenced their desire to develop and produce one of the best cream liqueurs you'll ever have. From there, we go south of the border with Anteel Tequila. They're the first black female-owned and operated tequila brand, and it's now available in Florida. We chat with co-founder Nayana Ferguson who, along with her husband Don, created and distributed three fantastic varieties of tequila, with more great flavors to come. Finally, we're back in Tampa with Dark Door Spirits. Co-founder Matt Allen shines a light into this new distillery, including their vodka released to benefit local bartenders adversely affected by the pandemic. We also talk about their experience turning local craft beers into spirits, including a spirit made from Crooked Thumb's IPA and a recent collaboration with Motorworks Brewing. Listen in...

It's a monster episode of the Florida Beer Podcast today! First, we speak to Allan Branch, co-founder of History Class Brewing in Panama City, Florida. The brewery was created in part to honor the incredible (and sometimes unknown) history of the city and surrounding area. From there, we talk with Leaven Brewing in Riverview about the most important place for breweries to advertise--social media. Located near Tampa, co-founder and social media guru Jillian Lynch shares how they started their channels (in particular Instagram) and what she posts. Finally, Producer Steve and I head to LaBelle Brewing, deep in the heart of Hendry County, to speak to founder Dan Peregrin and head brewer Corey Purcell about being the first brewery in Hendry County.

I have waited a long time for this episode--four years to be exact! That's how long ago I met Manny Portuondo, torchbearer for La Tropical. At the turn of the century, La Tropical was Cuba's biggest beer, and enjoyed a monstrous market share before the island was engulfed in turmoil. After years of work, Manny has finally revived his family's identity in a huge new facility. Join Producer Steve and I as we sit down with Manny and head brewer Matthew Weintraub. We talk about resurrecting the ghost of a 100+ year old beer, bringing the Cerveceria and Jardines to life in Wynwood, and why they're already looking to the future. Listen in...

Not too long ago, two Broadway actors and craft beer podcasters created a beer to help fund a program for out of work theatre professionals around the country. That program is The Actors Fund, the show is The Happy Hour Guys, and that beer is Curtain Up--a hazy IPA bursting with citric hop goodness. Three breweries in Florida are slated to release the beer, and the first is Tampa's Bay Cannon Brewing. We'll chat with co-founder Matthew Juaire about the reason behind making the beer and giving back to this vibrant arts community.
From there, we head to Naples with a visit to Riptide Brewing. Since our last visit, they've had new ownership and a whole new refresh: new logo, new interior, new beer garden, and especially new beers. We sat down with co-owner Kim West in that wonderful beer garden to discuss what it was like taking over an existing brewery, changes they made, and their big plans for the future.

Here's our second of back-to-back episodes in Miami-Dade County! Homestead is a bit of a drive. I am firmly aware of this. Regardless, it is worth the trip to go down to Schnebly Winery and Miami Brewing Co., a full service tropical oasis right before heading into the Keys. They have it all: tropical wines, beers, two restaurants, and plenty of space... and iguanas. Don't forget the iguanas! We spoke to owner Pete Schnebly about his start in New York, building a winery and brewery, and some of the interesting legal hurdles he and his compatriots have dealt with over the years. And had a few beers, of course. Listen in...

We are back in 2021! And let's really have some fun today, shall we? This is our first of back-to-back episodes in Miami-Dade County, and there's a lot to get through. We start with Ceiba--a new mead, wine, and cider producer coming to the Bird Road Art District. We chat with co-founder and head Sean McClain about sourcing honey and fruit in Miami-Dade, marketing their products to a decidedly different audience, and the fun things they have in their future. From there, we present the final in our pre-COVID interviews with Focal Beer Cafe. Formerly known as Bousa Brewing, the company underwent a complete ownership and vision change, coming through with an interesting business concept. Back in Feb. 2020, before the pandemic hit, we spoke to Head Brewer Carlos De La Rosa and Brand Ambassador Roy Moreno about the change, their concept, and the fantastic artwork that was going up on the walls when we spoke.

Here's a big episode for everyone! A lot is going on in Florida Craft, so we are back with an extra-awesome episode of the Florida Beer Podcast!
We start in Miami at Beat Culture Brewing not talking about beer at all! The Beat Culture team has been blowing up the Magic City with, of all things, mead! We spoke to co-owner Alan Espinosa about their history making meads, the styles they love to make, and some of the interesting legal differences between mead and beer in the Sunshine State.
Next, we go north to Black Flamingo Brewing. Owner/brewer Manny Jannes has been on the South Florida beer scene for years, bringing his family culture and South Florida's Hispanic influences to his beers. We sat down to understand those cultural influences, and how South Florida is uniquely suited to bring a new insight and a much-needed change to a very homogenous industry.
Finally, we end in the Grand Central district of St. Petersburg, FL. and Grand Central Brewhouse, the newest brewery to open in this fast-growing hub of Florida beer. We are getting the full lowdown from Founder and CEO Kevin Milkey as to the history of the location, the decision to open in St. Pete, and the growing influence of the district. Listen in...

Funky Buddha Brewery in Broward County's Oakland Park has grown into one of the largest regional breweries in the state of Florida, and it was only natural they would throw their hat into the ring when it came to hard seltzers. To get more information, we spoke to Funky Buddha founder Ryan Sentz to get a feel for these new seltzers, their creation, and where they will be expanding the product line in 2021. We also spoke about their partnership with the Florida Panthers, who recently got a new jersey as part of the NHL's Retro Reverse jersey line, and how that inspired them to re-release the original recipe of their signature Floridian hefeweizen. I never knew it existed. Listen in...

You read that right, a beer diet! Well, how do you build a solid, robust diet that will allow you to drink beer without gaining the stereotypical "beer gut"? We're talking to author and rugby aficionado Gary Greenberg about his book The Beer Diet and how you can have your beer and drink it, too. From there, we head to Orlando and Ellipsis Brewing, a brewery located so close to Orlando International Airport that you may hear a plane or two in the background of our interview. Back before COVID-19, we sat down with Robert McKee, the head brewer and COO to Ellipsis Brewing to talk about their affinity for video games, brewing in Orlando, and more. Listen in...

The Hard Seltzer craze starts us off today, as we check in with Ft. Myers Brewing and their Spkyd line of seltzers. They recently took home Best Seltzer from 2020 Seltzerland, so we’ll chat with Co-founder Rob Whyte about the win, creating the seltzers, where you can find them, and his favorite flavor. After that, we’re going into the vault again, this time to Ocoee and Toll Road Brewing. Duane Morin is one of three co-founders in this small but mighty West Orange outpost of Florida Craft Beer, and we spoke to him in Feb. 2020 about the location, styles, and fitting the absolute most equipment into that little car garage.

This week, we start with vodka, straight from Miami! Bernard Smalls is the creator of BALT Vodka, a 7-times distilled, gluten-free, South Florida strawberry-flavored vodka that is out of this world. He created it to celebrate the friends he lost to gun violence in Miami Gardens, and we'll talk to him about those experiences, the creation of BALT Vodka, and where you can find it.
After that, we're going into the vault, back to St. Augustine in Jan. of 2020. We spoke to Doug and Courtney Murr, owners of the recently reopened Dog Rose Brewing in St. Augustine's Lincolnville neighborhood. Listen to them as we chat about Doug's considerable time brewing in the Nation's Oldest City, brewing for tourists vs. brewing for locals, and those tour trains that keep passing by. Listen in...

In our series of current Florida legislative candidates, we'll be talking to Rep. Nick DiCeglie from Brooksville, who worked hand-in-hand with Brooksville's Marker 48 Brewing during the recent closures. We chatted with him about their work and how he feels the 2021 legislative session may go for Florida craft beer. From there, we'll talk with Tank co-founder Carlos Padron about working with The de Moya Foundation. This non-profit organization places people with special abilities with companies that have open positions they need filled, such as local breweries. And, one of those breweries that has worked with them has been The Tank Brewing in Doral; so, we'll learn about how the experience has left a positive effect on the whole crew. Listen in...

Welcome back to the Florida Beer Podcast! Today is a big episode, but don't forget to go onto FloridaBeerBlog.com or our social media pages and download your #SupportFLCraftBeer image to post on Sept. 16th!
We start with Big Storm Brewing, the massive multi-site brewery along Florida's Gulf Coast. They just purchased Big Blue Brewing in Cape Coral, so we'll talk to owner LG Govoni about plans for the space, making hand sanitizer, their recent Belgian-style beer releases, and more. Much, much more.
Then we head to Miami, where Concrete Beach Brewery is closing their doors after 5 years. Sort of, they are being remade into the new Dogfish Head Miami. We went to Concrete Beach last November, before the quarantine, to chat with their Marketing Manager Erika Chavez about everything that was going on. I sat on the audio since I didn't want to send people to a closed brewery, and now...

Florida State primaries are now over, and we now know the big matchups that will be decided in November. One of the most contencious districts is house District 15, comprising Downtown Jacksonville and currently represented by Wyman Duggan.
Since he is up for reelection, we spoke to Rep. Duggan about the effect of current laws on breweries and craft beer bars, his views on how the Florida legislature can support craft beer, and all of the great breweries he represents.
Two of his constituents were also on the call, Susan and Kevin Miller, the mother and son team behind Bold CIty Brewing. We'll chat about how COVID-19 has affected them and their two Jacksonville locations, trends they are seeing in Jacksonville craft beer, and about everyone's recent conversation with Division of Business and Professional Regulation Secretary Halsey Beshears.

Here on the Florida Beer Podcast, we are going to be getting a bit political. Elections are coming up, and you, as a voter, have the chance to send to Tallahassee Representatives and Senators that speak about your ideas and support the craft beer industry in Florida. For our first interview, we are speaking to current Florida State Representative Heather Fitzenhagen, currently running for Florida Senate in her home city of Ft. Myers. We'll chat with her about the effect of current laws on breweries and craft beer bars, her views on how the Florida legislature can support craft beer, and her recent conversation with Secretary Halsey Beshears. From there, we head to Fat Tap Beer Bar and Eatery in Oakland Park, a bar and restaurant with one of the most amazing tap lists I have ever seen. We'll chat with owner Robert Robayna to learn more about the history of Fat Tap, the troubles of getting good kegs after the major shutdowns, and those amazing field trips they've been taking recently.

We are going around the state to speak to brewers and others in the industry to see how the quarantine has affected them and what they are doing to survive in this temporary new normal.

Welcome to COVID-19 Episode 12 of the Florida Beer Podcast, powered by Floridabeerblog.com. We are going around the state to speak to brewers and others in the industry to see how the quarantine has affected them and what they are doing to survive in this temporary new normal.
Not only are we dealing with the current quarantine, but there is also a tremendous wave of social change and activism spurred on by recent tragic events. But are businesses reacting to those events out of interest in the movement, or out of a sense of requirement? Khris Johnson, co-owner and head brewer of Green Bench Brewing in St. Pete posed that very question recently, and was kind enough to join us on the show to discuss this, reaching out to St. Pete's overlooked communities, weathering the quarantine storm, and slowly reopening.

Two such programs come from Florida International University's Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. We spoke to Michael Cheng, Dean of the Chaplin School about those benefits programs, how other departments at FIU have come forward to help as well, and the future of the the program's two best-known festivals, South Beach Wine and Food Festival and North Miami Brewfest.

Pensacola is starting to dig its claws in as another exploding hotspot of Florida craft beer. One reason is Perfect Plain, the craft brewery nestled deep in Pensacola's downtown. Their owner, D.C. Reeves, sat down to speak to us about how they are changing their business model to suit the quarantine, plus take out options and their relationship with other breweries in the City of Five Flags. We also spoke to him about his work as a Pensacola small business incubator and some of the difficulties he sees all small businesses in the area going through.

It is no secret that my family and I are big fans of St. Augustine, and watching their rebirth as a neat little craft beer hub in Florida has been amazing. Leading that charge is the largest brewery in our nation's oldest city, Ancient City Brewing. We sat with co-owner Greg Tuttle to understand the fate of their distribution networks, two taprooms, and how this tourism-dependent community is faring.

As we are now in our first week of our Coronavirus-induced quarantine, breweries around the state have felt a significant impact on their current and future business. To get an understanding as to what is going on, we called Mike Harting, current President of the Florida Brewers Guild.

And, as the co-owner of 3 Daughters Brewing in St. Petersburg, Mike shares how COVID-19 is affecting his own business. Listen in...

Welcome to another episode of the Florida Beer Podcast, as we prepare for another festival! This time it's the renown FemAle Brew Fest on March 21st. This one is notable as it only allows breweries with female ownership or female staff on the brewing team. Much to my delight, this festival has been growing in size for the past few years, and is now going to be held at the brand new Dania Point. We spoke to festival organizer Frances Antonio-Martineau about the history of the event and what to expect.
We then spend most of our time in the delightful Vero Beach at the mettled and storied Walking Tree Brewery. I've written about them before, and it's funny to see how things have grown there. Literally, as the mangrove tree I saw on my initial visit is much, much larger now. I sat down with Co-founder and head brewer Mike Malone and his wife, Creative Director Brooke Malone to talk about the history of Walking Tree so far, craft beer in Vero Beach, and an awesome collaboration they just did with their local newspaper.
Remember, leave us a nice 5-star review if you're on Apple Podcasts. If you're not, you can still like us, subscribe, and tell your friends! Listen in...

Episode 37 is a big one, and we are all over the place today.
We start in Tampa, West Tampa to be specific, at the relatively new Bay Cannon Brewing. It's the first brewery in a section of the city still relatively untouched by craft beer, and I discussed that pionnering with Adrienne Juaire, Marketing Manager and Joanna Reilly-Brown, Event Manager (on top of their day jobs, being moms, and kinda being incredible at everything they do). We discussed everything from creating the brand, to finding the location, to the beers on tap.
From there, we head across the state and the I-4 corridor to downtown Melbourne and Hell 'n Blazes Brewing. They set up shop years ago in a wonderful old 120+ year building and have a fnatiastic lineup of foods and taps. Setting up shop in their bank vault bonus room (and listening to plenty of footsteps from overhead), we spoke to brewmaster Todd Furbeck and head chef Drew Campbell about the history of their location, craft beer on the Space Coast, and food pairing events.
There are a lot of great episodes coming up, so subscribe to us today! We are found everywhere quality podcasts are found, plus on social media at floridabeerblog. if you can, rate us 5 stars and help us reach out to more people! Listen in...

This is going to be quite the busy episode of the Florida Beer Podcast, so hang in there... We start in Boca Raton, close to where the 2nd Annual Best of the Belgians Beer Fest is going to be held on Sat., Feb. 8th. This event celebrates Belgian and Belgian-style beers with a rather impressive list of breweries, domestic and direct from Belgium as well. It is put on by Boca Ballet Theatre and Barrel of Monks, and proceeds go to support the Ballet Theatre. To get some more info, we chat with Barrel of Monks co-owner and brewmaster Bill McFee to learn more about the festival, the beneficiary, and whether Westvleteren will appear. From there, we go across the state to Safety Harbor, to an interview I've been wanting to do for some time. It's the home of Crooked Thumb Brewing, rapidly growing and making big bounds in the Pinellas Co. and Tampa Bay beer scene. We chat with Travis Kruger, co-founder of Crooked Thumb, to learn a bit more about their expanding footprint, that name, and the kitties that run around the tap room. Listen in...

It's a special Episode 35 of the Florida Beer Podcast today! We are heading to Ybor City in Tampa once again to learn a little more about one of their newer breweries, Zydeco Brew Werks! Heavily inspired by New Orleans, this brewery and full-service restaurant features a full bar, mind-blowing food, and some really fantastic beers made by Head Brewer, Paul Rutherford. Paul and I sat down in their barrel-aging room along with the rather colorful duo of Johnny Crosskey and Kevin Hess, the men behind the Tampa-based podcast Craft Beer Ballers. (Some of you may recall I was on that show once. That was an interesting interview.) Together, the four of us talk Ybor, craft beer, and Tampa, along with a sudden guest appearance by Zydeco owner J. Paul Pepin. Listen in...

Welcome to the first episode of 2020! Today we go Haus hunting in the Tampa Bay area, so come along! First is our initial visit to Barriehaus Brew Co., recorded only a few days before their opening! This new brewery in Ybor is decidedly lager forward, and we sat down with co-owners and husband and wife team Brittany and Jim Barrie about all of the fun things they did to open and what they hope to achieve once they are up and running (which they are now, obviously). After that, we hop across the bridge to Clearwater and the incredibly awesome Grindhaus Brew Lab. Like movies? Beers named after icons like Bruce Campbell? Old seats from a defunct roller skating rink? Grindhaus is your place! Listen to our interview with co-owner and brewer Robb Larson about this amazing brewery. Listen in…

We head to southwest Florida! First up is a visit to Southern Fresh Farms in Ft. Myers, the home of Crazy Dingo Brewing. Stu Paasche and his partner have been homebrewing for several years and have opened a space at this small farm just off I-75. We spoke to Stu about the long history of Crazy Dingo and everything going on with their new space. Then we head north to Cape Coral and Eight Foot Brewing, owned and operated by husband and wife team Roger and Alex Phelps. Roger is getting buzz as a master of mixed fermentation; so we spoke with him about bringing such inventive styles to a city not necessarily known for its beer culture. Listen in...

It's almost time for the North Miami Brewfest, hosted by and benefitting the Claflin School of Hospitality at Florida International University! This year it will be happening on Nov. 16th from 3-6 PM, and it's one of my favorite beer festivals in the state.
To learn a little more about the event, I spoke to Terry Witherell, VP of Strategic Communications and Marketing, and Christina Jardim, Director of Enterprise Development at FIU to learn a little more about the history of the festival and learn what will be coming in 2019.
We then spoke to Matt Crawford from MIA Brewing. He's a proud graduate of the Brewing Arts program at FIU, and is using what he learned in his career. We spoke about his background, and how the Brewing Arts program helped him get where he is today.
Finally, we chat a bit with Dr. Barry Gump, a chemist, homebrewer, and the head of the Brewing Arts program. We chat about the program, chemistry beer vs. wine, the 2019 event, and much more!
Tickets are available now, and we hope to see you there!

If you listened to last week's episode (a BONUS!), you heard the audio from our live podcast from the recent Palm Beach Summer Beer Fest. On today's episode, I went into the belly of the beast, doing some small touch-up interviews with several south Florida breweries that were at the event. Afterwards, we went 3 minutes across the street to the relatively new Royal Palm Brewing, a brewery that gets pretty busy after events at the Palm Beach Fairgrounds. My friend and occasional field producer/photographer Steve Pekala and I sat down with co-owners and brothers George and Geoffrey Shetka to discuss being the first brewery in Royal Palm Beach and making the experience family-friendly.

From there, we head close to International Drive and Half Barrel Beer Project, in the middle of the attractions area. I sat down with Josh and Scott about brewing and keeping a continuing lineup of great craft beer in a non-traditional craft beer area.

Busy, busy, busy... Episode 18 of the Florida Beer Podcast powered by FloridaBeerBlog.com.
Today we are on the west side of the state, starting in the sleepy southwest Florida hamlet of Bonita Beach and the new location of Momentum Brewhouse. Owner Brian Hahn gave us a rundown of the new facility and what it took to move in.
After that, we talk to Cathy Douglas, co-owner and chief Cider Maker at the best brewpub in Bradenton--3 Keys (a particular favorite of mine).

Welcome to episode 17 of the Florida beer podcast, and we have a giveaway today! We are going to St Petersburg, Florida, to visit a few of their great breweries. First, we go to Flying Boat Brewing to meet with co-owner Josh Perian. We discuss the history of St. Pete and their brewery and the best way to package an imperial stout. From there, we head to the Grand Central District and If I Brewed the World--the brainchild of owner and Brewer, Kevin Shaw. We chat about beers in St Pete and his coffee table book companion to the brewery. And, he was kind enough to give us a card good for 4 beers at his Brewery! For those of you going to the inaugural Grand Central District Beer Day on June 1st, this is a great place to get started to learn about the event. Make sure to listen to the podcast to find out how to enter. And, find us on social media and wherever you find your podcasts. Drink Florida craft!
Welcome to Episode 16 of the Florida Beer Podcast, powered by Florida Beer Blog! Hopefully everything will work out well, but I've just switched podcast hosts, so this will be the first episode released with a different host.
Anyway, this is part two of our Chicago trip, and to begin we will be heading to On Tour Brewing, winner of Best Small Brewery at the 2017 Great American Beer Festival. We are talking with owner and brewmaster Mark Legenza about winning, styles of beer, and his love for the Grateful Dead.
