As the rising tide of craft beer swells around the Sunshine State, at no time was the popularity of craft beer more apparent than this past weekend as four craft breweries around the state opened their doors for the first time.
In light of the progress being made by the growler bill (shhhhh, don’t jinx it!), it was only a matter of time before an inflammatory bill was introduced that would threaten Florida’s small breweries.
Lots has been buzzing up in the Bold New City. Jacksonville is getting two new craft breweries in the coming months, and that is not including Engine 15 and Intuition Ale Works looking to open production breweries.

New year? New breweries!
While nothing is certain in this life, it is a pretty safe bet that brewing beer in Florida’s endless summer can cause thirst. All the heat of boiling and mashing combined with a lack of air conditioning makes sweat drip like the mighty Mississippi. The kind folks from Green Bench Brewing of Saint Petersburg and Coppertail Brewing of Tampa have announced that they are collaborating on a beer at Green Bench. No details yet, but they have posted a photo of the brewers enjoying ice cold Capri Suns as they brew.
