    Sailfish Brewing, Part 1

    Happy New Year! Let's start 2025 off BIG. Sailfish Brewing is easily the largest brewery in St. Lucie County, possibly the entire Treasure Coast. There are a few others that may hold claim to that, but Sailfish has been doing quite well for themselves in their downtown Ft. Pierce home. We sat down with President and Co-Founder of Sailfish Brewing, David BuShea, and longtime friend of the podcast and Sailfish Sales Manager, Brian Tonnessen, to talk about their humble beginnings in the yellow house and bringing craft beer to Ft. Pierce. Listen in...

  5. North Miami Brewfest 2024

    JAN 1

    North Miami Brewfest 2024

    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...

  6. Champions Beerfest 2024

    Champions Beerfest 2024

    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.

Myers Brewing and Joseph Termini from Wicked Dolphin to talk about Ft.

  8. Ft. Myers Brewing and Wicked Dolphin, Part 1

    10/30/2024

    Ft. Myers Brewing and Wicked Dolphin, Part 1

    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.
