About Pair O’ Dice Brewing
When the craft beer scene was just emerging husband and wife team, Ken and Julia Rosenthal, would scour the country in search of their favorite brews. These travels led them to their specialty: aromatic and flavorful hop-forward West Coast-style ales. In 2013, the pair opened Clearwater’s first local microbrewery after perfecting their own recipes — all of which are designed from scratch and use Florida’s finest, naturally grown ingredients when possible. The name, Pair O’ Dice, is a play on the word “paradise” and it‘s how these native Floridians pay homage to their home state of Florida. Follow Pair O’ Dice Brewing on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to stay in-the-know or visit their website www.PairODiceBrewing.com for more company details. #GetAPair

Good People Brewing hitting Panhandle distribution soon

Good People Brewing of Birmingham, Alabama has announced recently that they will begin distribution in the Florida Panhandle.

According to a recent article in the Birmingham Business Journal, Good People Brewing will see distribution in the Florida Panhandle through Goldring Gulf Distribution beginning on the week of February 29th. Good People also plans to offer promotions and samplings throughout Florida and Tennessee in the next few weeks.

For the complete announcement, including more on Good People’s further expansion into Tennessee, see the full text of the article (linked above).

About Good People Brewing:
All we set out to do was make good beer to share with our friends. We never imagined that our passion for brewing would become a business. But, thousands of hours, hundreds of hiccups, two abandoned day jobs, and one business license later, Good People Brewing Company was born, with the sale of our first keg on July 4, 2008, in our hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. And, so far, so good. Our offerings now include five year-round brews, four seasonals, and an occasional one-off. Good People is now enjoyed by folks in Alabama and Tennessee, most of whom we don’t actually know yet. And, according to BeerAdvocate, a leading voice in the beer community, the four highest-rated beers in the South are ours. We’re honored that people seem to think we know what we’re doing. See what you think. Give us a try.

Pair O Dice Brewing is now available in Sarasota

Press Release: Pair O’ Dice Brewing has announced a partnership with Gold Coast Eagle Distributing, to distribute Pair O’ Dice beers throughout Manatee and Sarasota counties. The agreement brings Pair O’ Dice Brewing’s West Coast style IPAs and locally inspired ales south of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge for the first time.

“We’ve been building our brand for two years in our home market of Pinellas and Hillsborough to ensure that we have the capacity to meet demand,” said Pair O’ Dice Brewing Co-founder Julia Rosenthal. “We’re excited to be able to expand south and bring Pair O’ Dice to Manatee and Sarasota residents with Gold Coast Eagle Distributing as our partner.”

Pair O’ Dice Brewing is known for its award-winning balanced IPAs and ales brewed with local ingredients. These beers frequently rely on the use of difficult to source hops and fresh ingredients grown exclusively in Florida, such as strawberries from Plant City and orange blossom honey from Haines City.

“At Pair O’ Dice Brewing, we make the beers that we like to drink. We don’t make beers that fit into a specific beer category,” explained Pair O’ Dice Brewing’s Head Brewer and Co-founder Ken Rosenthal II. “Our flagship IPA is the Hop Bet Red IPA. We’ve never been able to enter it into a competition because until this year there wasn’t a competitive beer category that it fit in. We just focus on making the beers that we enjoy consistently and with the highest quality possible.” Gold Coast Eagle Distributing is a Sarasota-based distributor of craft beer and AB/InBev.

Pair O’ Dice Brewing joins the distributor’s already strong lineup of local craft beers, including Big Top Brewing, Darwin Brewing, and Motorworks Brewing.

Pair O’ Dice Brewing will be distributing their lineup of Core, Seasonal, and limited quantities of their Hop Streak Series beers. The initial lineup will include their Clearwater Honey Cream, Hop Bet Red IPA, Little Joe Stout, Cascade Amber, and Monster Roll IPA.

Lake, Flagler, Volusia, and Putnam Counties will now be able to enjoy 12 ounce bottles in bars, restaurants, bottle shops, and grocery stores year round. Green Man will distribute their three flagship ales in Florida, as well as rotating offerings, currently Harvester:

Green Man IPA: Green Man India Pale Ale is delectably hoppy with a properly balanced body. Generous hop additions give it a wonderful bitterness and pleasant floral nose, while our combination of traditional British malts creates a rich, satisfying flavor and alluring copper color.

Green Man ESB: A malty amber ale boasting rich toasted and caramel flavors, Green Man ESB is one of our award-winning signature brews. Our blend of authentic British malts and hops creates a nutty aroma, full body, and a sweet finish. Prepare yourself for a truly exceptional interpretation of a traditional English style.

Green Man Porter: Dark, full-bodied, and rich in flavor, Green Man Porter is wonderfully easy to drink. It offers a creamy, smooth mouthfeel and finishes with distinctive chocolate notes. This traditionally crafted, award-winning British-style Porter, like a true rock star, enjoys a legendary following.

Green Man Harvester: Harvester is our interpretation of the classic German Marzen style. Magnum and Palisade highlight a creative hop blend. The result is a deep amber color and a hearty flavor that salutes the old world taste of the season.

“There has been a huge pull of demand for Green Man down in Florida, and we are excited for our fans to have access to our beer close to home,” says PR Manager Elise Carlson.

Green Man has partnered with S.R. Perrott Inc. to debut their Legendary Ales in Florida and will continue to expand distribution throughout the Southeast.
