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...

info_outline Episode 166: St. Augustine Experiences, the Craft Beer TourFlorida 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...

info_outline Episode 164: Dunes Brewing, Part 1Florida 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.

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...

info_outlineIt'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...
