Fort Lauderdale residents looking to brew LauderAle

Fort Lauderdale has many choices of local beers to call their own. Residents Kyle Jones and Joe Farrell see a different problem, though, as Fort Lauderdale does not have a brewery in its city limits. Many breweries in South Florida are close to Fort Lauderdale, and serve the area, but none can yet claim to brew for the city in the city.

LauderAle is seeking to change that. LauderAle is planning to start off small (on a one-barrel brewing system), and grow organically after that.

According to an article in the Broward New Times:

Jones said the brewery should be functional in about a month, and he hopes to be open to the public sometime in the late spring or early summer.

Over the past year, Jones and Farrell have been perfecting their recipes and will have a saison, an American pale ale, an IPA, and a coffee porter — a favorite among fans — as their flagship brews. They haven’t trademarked the names yet, however.

South Florida is on the cusp of an eruption of new breweries in the coming years, with over a dozen breweries in the planning stages looking to open in the next 1-2 years.

Saltwater Brewery looking forward to being Delray Beach’s craft brewery

The nice folks from Saltwater Brewery have their eye set on becoming Delray Beach’s first microbrewery. They are currently in the construction phase of building their brewery and they took some time to answer a few questions about themselves, their beers, and the construction process.

Saltwater Brewery begins with lifelong friends coming together to share their mutual love of beer and the ocean. Bo Eaton, Chris Gove, and Peter Agardy realized that together their business skills bring together local beer knowledge, financial know-how, home brewing passion, and sales experience, and together they could form a great team making beer for the community where they all grew up. Along with head brewer Bill Taylor and apprentice brewer Dustin Jeffers, the Saltwater Team looks forward to the day where they will be a local craft beer destination in Palm Beach County.

While Saltwater’s core beers are still up in the air, to be determined by the needs, wants, and bar tabs of customers, the brewing staff anticipates six beers making the first run in the brewery: “an extra pale ale, an IPA, a DIPA, a milk stout, a Belgian blond, and a scotch ale.” Once the schedule is arranged and worked through, the team at Saltwater will brew beers on a 20-barrel brewing system made in Oregon City, Oregon, overseen by Taylor.

While Saltwater reiterated on Sunday through Facebook that “…we still can’t give a definite date for opening but we are working EVERYDAY here to get things right, it’s been a long road and we appreciate the support and following, and it pushes us to strive to get things right and open as soon as we can!!”

More details on Saltwater Brewing’s grand opening as it becomes available.

New Miami brewery coming from Alchemy & Science

Press Release:

(Miami, FL) – Alchemy and Science is set to launch a project in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami. Construction of the new Concrete Beach Brewery began in early October, with plans to open for business in early 2014.

The brewery will produce a number of different styles of craft beer on draft for local distribution and will follow up 90-120 days later with bottled beer.

The brewery will be housed in an old warehouse building in the heart of the Arts District. Construction is scheduled to be complete by the end of December. Concrete Beach not only plans to brew at its Wynwood location, but it will also house a meeting hall to serve and sample its beers, provide brewery tours, and become an active supporter of the Wynwood Arts District by hosting cultural arts events.

“Miami is a world class city and deserves to have world class beers. We hope to add to the growing enthusiasm for great local craft beers with the opening of Concrete Beach Brewery,” said Alan Newman, president of Alchemy and Science. “We’re excited to join the growing craft beer movement in Miami, and think it’s the perfect place for Alchemy and Science to continue to fulfill to its mission of expanding the craft beer community. I’ve visited Miami regularly throughout my life and have always been in love with the city. When we started seeking opportunities for A&S, we were instantly drawn to Wynwood’s revitalization, and it all came together.”

The Concrete Beach Brewery is the fifth craft beer project for Alchemy and Science, whose mission is to expand the craft beer community. Other projects include Angel City Brewery, Coney Island Brewing Company, Traveler Beer Company and The Just Beer Project.

About Alchemy and Science:

Alchemy & Science is an independently operating, craft beer incubator collaboration supported by The Boston Beer Company.

About Wynwood:

Wynwood currently has Wynwood Brewing Company that opened its doors in September and is slated to be the home of the J. Wakefield Brewing Company, which plans to open around January of 2014. Apparently, Miami will no longer be hurting for fresh, local craft beer.
