Due South Brewing Company Releases Land, Sea, & Air To Benefit Local Veteran Organization
Press Release: Due South Brewing Company, a Boynton Beach, Florida based craft beer manufacturer that is veteran owned and operated, has released Land, Sea, & Air, an amber ale to help raise funds for Wounded Veterans Relief Fund, a local Lake Park, Florida veterans organization that exists to provide emergency financial support to qualified disabled veterans living in Florida.
“We’ve been working with the guys from Wounded Veterans Relief Fund for a few years,” says Due South Brewing owner Mike Halker. “As a Vet myself, it’s a very meaningful relationship.”
Land, Sea, & Air is an amber ale brewed to 4.5% alcohol by volume, with a light and crisp flavor profile highlighted by the restrained use of specialty malts to keep the beer a refreshing choice during warm Florida autumn days and nights.
For the brew, the brewery invited veterans from their local beer distributor to assist in creating this special beer.
“To be able to collaborate on a great tasting beer and give back to our fellow Veterans is a big deal,” Halker continued. “We’re very excited to continue this relationship and continuing to help all of our friends that wore the uniform.”
A portion of the proceeds from every keg and can sold will benefit the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund.
Land, Sea, & Air is available now at the brewery taproom both on draft and in 12 ounce can six-packs. In addition, it is available now through Brown Distributing for bars, restaurants, and beer stores across South Florida.

Due South Brewing is transitioning to 16oz cans
Due South Brewing Company Introduces and Transitions to 16 Ounce Cans
Due South Brewing Company is announcing that beginning in March, all packaged beer from the Boynton Beach brewery will be produced in 16 ounce cans. The move comes after months of successfully canning smaller runs of limited release beers in 16 ounce cans. This transition will include all year-round brands that were previously sold in 12 ounce packaging: Caramel Cream Ale, Category 3 IPA, Category 5 IPA, and Citrafied® Pale Ale.
The new packaging format coincides with a brand refresh featuring more prominent colors, silhouetted graphics, and brighter and cleaner white backgrounds. “These refreshed cans have been brought up visually to the same level as the awesome beers we make every day,” said Doug Fairall, Due South’s Brand Marketing Manager.
Due South Brewing introduces larger 16oz cans
The veteran-owned and operated brewery has been canning beer in 12 ounce packaging for years – producing over 2 million cans since 2014. Now, after improvements across the brewery, the opening of a new on-site air conditioned taproom, and the introduction of the easy-drinking Coastline™ Lager, the brewery felt prepared to create a branding refresh on their package.
“We’ve been working hard to get these prepared for our growing Florida market, and have been met with incredible support and optimism by our customers, as well as our distribution and retail partners,” said Fairall. “We are excited to be able to offer the experience of a full pint of our beer from a can.”
“Our fans will continue to be able to bring canned beers to the places their adventures take them across Florida.”
Consumers will be able to expect 16 ounce four packs to begin taking the place of previous 12 ounce can package as they get depleted at local stores.

The move also coincides with the establishment of new distribution partners across western Florida. Due South is excited to be partnering with Pepin Distributing, Great Bay Distributors, Gold Coast Eagle, Coastal Beverages, Peace River Distributing, and Suncoast Beverage.
Due South Brewing releases Nun With a Chainsaw IPA
Press Release: Due South Brewing Company will be releasing Nun With A Chainsaw IPA on October 20 on draft and in 16 ounce cans. This will be the first time that a beer at Due South has been canned in 16 ounces.
Nun With A Chainsaw is an India pale ale that boasts an extremely potent arsenal of hops: pounds of late addition Amarillo, Azacca, and Idaho 7, with copious dry hopping of the same, has created a hop-lovers dream of tropical and piney aromas and flavors.
“When Irma blew through South Florida, one nun in Miami made it her mission to clear debris,” Doug Fairall, Due South Brewing’s Brand Manager said. “This is our tribute to those who had to – and continue to – do what’s necessary in the face of adversity.”
Nun With A Chainsaw will be available at the Boynton Beach brewery’s taproom beginning at noon. We recommend enjoying this beer as fresh as possible.

Due South Brewing to host Trench Day 2017 on January 21st
Press Release: Due South Brewing Company will be holding its annual Trench Day festival Saturday, January 21st from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. in the Due South Brewing taproom. Trench Day is held every year in January to celebrate the release of our Gold medal (Florida Brewers Guild Festival) winning Mariana Trench® Imperial Stout and features unlimited samples of exceptional, hard to find beers from our brewery and those across the state of Florida in an intimate setting.

The beer itself boasts an impressive and well rounded character, full of roasted grains such as Chocolate Malts and Roasted Barley, which combine with the addition of Flaked Oats, Cocoa Nibs, and Madagascar Vanilla Beans to create a dark stout worthy of its namesake: the Marianas Trench, site of the deepest known part of the world’s oceans.

Due South Brewing releases Citrafied – a Citra pale ale
Press Release: Due South Brewing Company has released a new core brand – Citrafied – that will be available year-round at the Due South tap room and throughout their distribution network. It will be available on draft and in 12 ounce cans beginning late November in bars, restaurants, and retail locations across South Florida and in December throughout most of the state of Florida.
Citrafied was crafted out of an almost year-long process of experimentation and iterations, honing in on the perfect combination of hops and malts. It began with a series of consumer-driven blind tasting events, where owner and head brewer Mike Halker guided customers through a collection of hop varietal focused pale ales. After each panel, the preference was clear, and the brewing team went to work creating a pale ale that would focus on Citra hops.
“We tried a lot of different hops,” Halker says. “There was a clear winner… we decided to make the clear winner available to everyone.”
The beer pours with a golden vibrancy and produces an incredible aroma of tangerine and orange peel. A clean and crisp flavor profile and finish help to accentuate the refreshing nature of the beer, which makes it both approachable and incredibly satisfying.
“The idea was to focus on the flavor profile,” he continues, “to create a beer that is hoppy but not overly bitter. We structured this pale ale around a balanced profile with a moderate alcohol content in order to craft something that would be great for all of the outdoor activities that South Florida has to offer. For me, I consider it the perfect beach and pool beer.”
The response thus far in the tasting room preview has been incredibly positive, with many customers anticipating the full roll out of canned package and its availability in the retail market.
The pale ale, which comes in at 5.1% alcohol by volume, will round out the year-round portfolio of Due South Brewing Company, joining Category 3 IPA, Category 5 IPA, and Caramel Cream Ale.
