Saltwater Brewery, Barrel of Monks Brewing, and 3 Sons Brewing collaborate on beers for Publix dinner series

Recently, 3 Sons Brewing, Saltwater Brewery, and Barrel of Monks Brewing announced that their three breweries were collaborating on a beer called “Lime in the CocoMonk.”  When we reached out to Saltwater Brewery for more information, Director of Operations Dustin Jeffers said that the collaboration on this beer went deeper than just one beer – there would be a series of beers that the breweries worked on in order to launch them at two Publix Aprons beer dinners in South Florida.

“We did a collab at Barrel of Monks with 3 Son’s for an upcoming Publix Apron dinner series.  It is called Lime in the CocoMonk, and is going to be a 7% Saison with coconut, lime, and dry-hopped with Sabro hop (gives off similar flavors).  It will be bottle conditioned in 750s and on draft.  Idea is to have the flavors there, but not over the top because it is meant to pair with food.  The dinners are on Friday August 30^th at the Boca Raton Publix Apron and Saturday August 31^st at the Plantation Apron store.  Here is the info on the dinner:

I’m pretty sure each brewery is planning on having their collabs on tap.  We plan on releasing them at the dinner first then everywhere else.  The idea was also to use adjuncts in the beer that you can buy at Publix.  We will give attendees the recipe so they can brew it at home.
