    Men in the Making Collaboration with 3 Daughters

    Men in the Making Collaboration with 3 Daughters

    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. We spoke to Will Hensler (COO) and Zach Wildrick (Production Lead) to talk about spirits in St. Augustine, reclaiming and renovating their current location, the joys of bourbon, and so much more.

    MIA Bruhaus, Part 2

    This is Part 2 of our interview at MIA Bruhaus! If you haven't, I'd recommend you go back and listen to episode 172, first. MIA Bruhaus has been around almost as long as Florida Beer Blog. Starting life as MIA Beer Co., they've been releasing a wide variety of delicious beers from their Doral home since 2014. I sat down with Founder, Eddie Leon, to talk about getting into the craft beer industry in south Florida, getting into (and out of and finally back into) distribution, their new line of spirits, and exactly why they had to open with a kitchen.
