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.

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.

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...

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.    Follow us and subscribe on the podcasting app of your choice.

Welcome to COVID-19 Episode 14 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.    Florida breweries are struggling to survive, and many have been affected by changing guidelines being delivered from Tallahassee. To make sense of everything we spoke to Sean Nordquist, Executive Director of the Florida Brewers Guild. He'll tell us all of the legal intricacies occurring with breweries right now, along with what you can do to help.    Follow us on social media and subscribe to get the latest episodes the moment they come out.

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.

Our communities are going through a VERY difficult time right now. So, I'm going to talk to you a bit about being black, and it's going to be uncomfortable. The fact that the subject of being black is even an uncomfortable topic is the EXACT reason why you need to listen. It's the exact reason why I need to talk. So, yes, this is going to be uncomfortable. And, that is the point. It can no longer be uncomfortable for only US. We need EVERYONE to have this conversation. In this first discussion of what may need to be many, I'll share some of my own experiences, discuss "The Talk," and touch on the police brutality that has spurred the Black Lives Matter movement. And, then, I'll leave you with some homework and advice on how--in particular white people--can help the cause. Listen in...

The current pandemic quarantine has hit the hospitality industry pretty hard, but there have been a number of organizations that have come forward to create benefits to help affected workers. 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.

You'll hear some frank post-recording conversation of our candid thoughts between my Finding Florida co-host, Glenn, and I caught on our mics about how we are feeling with everything going on. Then, Glenn joins me officially as a guest to circle back around to how we plan for now and for the future. Glenn took charge of his business goals and processes VERY early, not only pivoting how they approached their clients and sponsors, but, more impressively becoming a leader for the entire equine industry. He has become "Corona Glenn," keeping listeners and the entire community regularly updated on how Coronavirus specifically impacts their lifestyles and industry's economy. He is a true example of being a strong leader and just taking action when faced with the unexpected. In particular, if you are in a position of leadership and/or are a business owner, you'll find his perspective very insightful. Things with Coronavirus are moving so fast. But, this show's platform will keep us all connected, sharing people's experiences as in-the-moment as possible. Listen in...

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. We also spoke about his book, The Microbrewery Handbook; Craft, Brew, & Build Your Own Microbrewery Success. It's available now at MicrobreweryHandbook.com and wherever books are sold. Listen in...

She is a 22-year-old college student who figured out a way for her family farm business to thrive during the coronavirus shutdown. Palm Beach County's East Coast Farms & Vegetables had to do something fast. Within a week of the pandemic hitting south Florida, the Lantana distributor's sales went to zero. East Coast Farms and Vegetables partners with farmers to sell fruits and vegetables to companies like Sysco and Cheney Brothers, which supply the restaurants and stores all over Florida. That's when the owners' 22-year-old daughter Katelyn Garcia had an idea. And the company went into action--offering up boxes of fresh fruits and veggies for just $10 to anyone who can come pick it up. Hear how Katelyn's idea is now turning East Coast Farms and Vegetables into a household name in Palm Beach County!
