7venth Sun Brewery’s 10th anniversary party starts on 1/7

In the current climate, with brewery closing announcements seeming to come on a regular basis, brewery anniversary celebrations are always a welcome reminder that many of Florida’s craft breweries are going strong. 7venth Sun Brewery’s is this kind of celebration – one where it is the perfect time to celebrate the beer, the brewery, and the people that make this operation run.

It also helps that the brewery is dropping cans of a new beer, this one a collaboration with Pennsylvania’s Voodoo Brewery.

BEER DROP:
7venth Sun Brewery 10th Anniversary StoutFriday, in collaboration with Voodoo Brewery, a three-part Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout series: EDMOND’S HEIRLOOM.

Edmond’s Heirloom PNG – with Tahitensis vanilla from Papua New Guinea (PNG). Sweet and rich, with subtle notes of Caramel, Chocolate, and dried Cherries.??

Edmond’s Heirloom V – with Vanatu vanilla (V). Powerful vanilla aromatics with notes of Nutmeg and Ginger.??

Edmond’s Heirloom TE – with Tahitensis vanilla from Ecuador (TE). Tastes like delectable Butter Cake and has notes of sweet Cherry!??

This series honors Edmond Albius who was a 12-year-old slave when he invented the pollination process that catapulted the vanilla industry, which is still used now, 180 years later. While he solved a botanical mystery that stumped the greatest botanists of the time and enriched the country of Reunion with the explosion of its newest export, he received no compensation except his release from slavery, unfairly dying in poverty at the age of 51.
We want to pay tribute to his extraordinary contribution with these three whiskey & bourbon barrel-aged beers, showcasing different varietals from the only species of orchid that produces an edible fruit.
Available at both 7venth Sun locations Friday for our 10 year anniversary in 8-ounce cans.  We can’t wait to party with you all!

 

 

Fire reported at Tampa Yuengling Brewery

Shortly after 8pm Saturday, fire crews responded to a call that the Tampa Yuengling Brewery, located at 11111 North 30th Street, was on fire.

About 8pm fire crews were called out to the Tampa brewery to put out a fire in the brewery’s storage building. The blaze was then declared a two-alarm fire, and about 60 firefighters were called to the scene. Once firefighters arrived, the blaze was contained within an hour.

Brewery employees were evacuated and none were injured by the fire. One Tampa firefighter sustained minor injuries and was transported to the hospital by ambulance.

The Tampa Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire, no official word yet.

About Yuengling:

Yuengling Brewery is the oldest continuously-operating brewery in the United States. The brewery operations began in Pottsville, Pennsylvania and in 1999 word spread that the company would buy the aging Stroh brewery in Tampa. By 2001, the Yuengling family had purchased, re-outfitted, and rehired the staff and facilities of the North 30th Street brewery, a building that had seen four separate owners in its 40-year history. The aging building, now approaching 50 years in operation, was originally built by Schlitz Brewing in order to satisfy Southern markets and compete with the brewery and tasting room which would ultimately become Busch Gardens. Yuengling brewed 2.5 million barrels of beer in 2011. The brewery in Tampa makes contributions towards the overall Yuengling bottom line and is currently expanding. According to Yuengling’s website: “Our Tampa brewery is currently adding a new brew house. The Tampa facility is presently a 450 to 475 barrel brewery; the addition will bring the capacity to brew 675 barrels.”
