Episode 169: Dr. Rob Streisfeld, Brewsaki
Florida Beer Podcast, powered by the Florida Beer Blog
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...

Episode 166: St. Augustine Experiences, the Craft Beer Tour
Florida Beer Podcast, powered by the Florida Beer Blog
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...

Episode 164: Dunes Brewing, Part 1
Florida Beer Podcast, powered by the Florida Beer Blog
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...

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.

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.

info_outlineIt'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...
