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...

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...

info_outline Episode 158: Swamphead Brewery, Gainesville, FLFlorida Beer Podcast, powered by the Florida Beer Blog
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.

info_outlineCollaborations 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.
