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.

Held at Sistrunk Marketplace this year, the Grand Tasting brings together fantastic expressions of Mezcal, Bacanora, Sotol, and more. Some of our past friends, like Xicaru, were there, while there were a good number of new brands represented this year as well. On today's podcast we are going to meet some of those brands. 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. We spoke about Men in the Making, the changes mentees have seen due to their participation, and the incredible journey of their first product in the market. Listen in...

Housed in a previously unused ice plant set a stone's throw away from the San Sebastian River, St. Augustine Distillery's lineup of gin, vodka, rum, bourbon, and more are available across the state and to their satisfied throngs of visitors from across Florida and around the world.

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 excliusively 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.

We are back at Stormhouse Brewing with another beerfest and another episode! This time, Stormhouse Brewing was celebrating their 2023 Holiday Cheers and Beers Brewfest--a celebration of beer, spirits, and shopping to get everybody in the holiday spirit. There's a lot of fantastic beers to be had; and, while the Brewfest was definitely well-attended, it still had a delightfully relaxed and fun atmosphere. On today's episode, we will be speaking to people from Bay 13, Coastal Karma, Frazier Creek, Side Door, Warhammer, Pareidolia, Magic 13, Walking Tree, Delirium, and finally a little bit of time with our host Josh Brinzo from Stormhouse itself.

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! We have audio from podcast-favorite (and Treasure Coast brewer) Pete Anderson from Pareidolia Brewing, Ryan Freeman from Dade City Brew House, and Steve Dornblaser from NOBO Brewing. 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! We have audio from podcast-favorite (and Treasure Coast brewer) Pete Anderson from Pareidolia Brewing, Ryan Freeman from Dade City Brew House, and Steve Dornblaser from NOBO Brewing. Listen in...

But since opening a few years ago, High Springs Brewing has become a central meeting point for the city.

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...

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.

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.

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.    Find us on Social Media @FloridaBeerBlog on Instagram and Twitter, @FLBeerBlog on Facebook, and visit us on the web at FloridaBeerBlog.com.
