Tequesta Brewing begins demolition for new brewery

Tequesta Brewing, the eponymous brewery in the small town on the eastern coast is poised to grow by leaps and bounds. What began as a small brewery next to a great cafe in Tequesta, Florida has grown to a recognizable Florida craft beer success, having filled every available nook and cranny in their facility with brewing equipment. Now, after much talk of how it would happen, the brewery announced yesterday that they began demolition on a space for construction of a new brewery.

On Tuesday, Tequesta owner Matt Webster posted a photo of demolition with the caption “Just because we don’t have enough fun with one brewery…..we’ve decided to start another. Demolition of the existing space has begun. Shit’s getting real…..”

More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Coppertail Brewing update: construction and beer tastings

Coppertail Brewing, the up-and-coming Tampa brewery and respite to weary IKEA shoppers has posted an update on their progress toward opening.

The full update can be found here, but a few highlights stand out:

*Due to construction delays, the brewery had to push back full delivery of brewing equipment from January 20th to February 10th.
*No brewing equipment means a delay in making beer, so Coppertail is pushing back their official opening until April of 2014.
*The first load of brewing equipment was shipped on December 25th- it was a Christmas miracle!
*Finally, in order to help with analysis of their beer, Coppertail organized a pop-up event. The catch was that the brewery announced it with only 24 hours advance notice. Coppertail owner Kent Bailey says that the brewery staff is already planning their next pop-up tasting, so keep an eye on Coppertail’s social media for the next short-notice event.
