Wynwood Brewing celebrates South Florida Beer Week with new beers

In the Wynwood area of Miami, there is much to celebrate in craft beer. A few years ago, Wynwood was just another area to pass through and possibly get a national beer and see the sights. In 2014, however, the local craft beer flood has begun and Wynwood Brewing is at the epicenter.

This year, in honor of South Florida Beer Week, Wynwood has decided to tap new and limited-release beers throughout the week. From Wynwood’s Facebook Page:

In addition to our regular line up of locally crafted brews, we will also have 7venth Sun Brewing Intergalactic Pale Ale (5.5%) on all week long. Special release beers will be tapped at 6PM on the following days:

Sunday 19th: El Mojito (6.5%): This refreshing Pale Ale is a take on the classic Latin cocktail and has a good balance of tropical, citrus goodness from El Dorado hops, lime, and mint.

Tuesday 21st: Father Francisco (8.6%): This Belgian Strong Golden Ale is named after the first Jesuit Priest that landed in the mouth of the Miami River back in the 1500’s. This brew has a spicy & fruity aroma and flavor profile with a light malty balance.

Wednesday 22nd: Carmen Miranda (6.5%): Wynwood IPA treated with Mango and Passion Fruit.

Thursday 23rd: Cup of Jose (6.5%): Pop’s Porter treated with Panther Coffee’s East Coast Premium Espresso blend.

Friday 24th: Apple of My Eye-P-A (7.2%): This delicious Ale is reminiscent of your childhood cereal. We treated our “WIPA” with apples, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Saturday 25th: Hazelnut Jose (6.5%): This treatment on Pop’s Porter also uses Panther Coffee’s East Coast Premium Espresso blend, but we added hazelnuts to the mix… OH YEAH!

*We will also be tapping a few surprise brews on Saturday. You don’t want to miss out on what we have in store. The only way to find out is to join us in the taproom as we close out SFBW with a bang!

**No growler fills on special release beers.

Wynwood Brewing is located at 565 NW 24th Street in Miami.
