7venth Sun heads to Spain, brews collaborations

Dunedin’s 7venth Sun Brewing co-owner Devon Kreps has been in Spain for the last few days. While there, Devon has been spreading the good word about 7venth Sun and Florida’s nascent craft beer scene, but she has also been flexing her brewing muscles, brewing up several collaboration beers with Edge Brewing of Barcelona.

So far, Devon has brewed:

A 9% ABV Double IPA with “lots of Citra, Chinook, Columbus, Centennial, and Cascade.”

A 4.5% Strawberry Saison brewed with “over 40 kilos of strawberries picked from local farms.”

Edge Brewing of Barcelona has collaborations with a few other Florida breweries scheduled. More information as it becomes available.

Due South Brewing plans international collaboration with Edge Brewing

Press Release:

Due South Brewing Co. announces its first international collaboration brew which will be with a new brewery, Edge Brewing, in Barcelona, Spain. Founder and head brewer Mike Halker will be crossing the Atlantic in February to brew two different styles of beer. In addition to the beer production, other things on the agenda include various events around Barcelona introducing locals to Due South’s beers, beer dinners which will pair local food with Due South beers, and question and answer sessions with local brewers to provide insight on the growing craft beer industry in the United States as well as the brewing process in general.

“As the first brewery from south Florida to do an international collaboration, we’re extremely excited to make the trip to Spain.” says Mike Halker. “I see this as much more than beer getting brewed. This collaboration indicates the beginning of a cultural shift in Spain, a country known more for its wine than its beer. The American craft beer movement is gaining popularity in Europe and Due South Brewing Co. is thrilled to help expose the people of Spain to the plethora of flavor possibilities when it comes to designing unique beers. We’re not only going to make beer; we’re going to make a statement.”

There are already plans in place for Halker to return to Spain for the release of the new beers, which will happen in early March.
