Rock Brothers and Hootie & the Blowfish to release Hootie’s Homegrown Ale

Rock Brothers Brewing has established a brewing company based on collaboration beers with musicians from across the country. Beginning in Bradenton with Have Gun Will Travel’s High Road Pale Ale, progressing to Jacksonville’s JJ Grey & Mofro’s Nare Sugar Brown Ale, then the newly announced beer with Kyle Hollingsworth of String Cheese Incident, now the band beer brewing brothers announce that they will brew Hootie’s Homegrown Ale with Charleston, SC’s Hootie and the Blowfish.

What’s the Florida connection? Florida’s Cigar City Brewing and South Carolina’s Palmetto Brewing will both be involved on the project. According to a recent Facebook post, the beer should be available around September or October.
