    Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 195: Clay Keel of Keel Farms
    Jul 9 2025

    Florida's wine industry has been around for generations, but still has not quite gotten the respect and attention it deserves. To chat about this, we went to one of Florida's largest wineries, Keel Farms, located in Plant City.

    The business is now under its second generation of operation with Clay Keel, current owner and president of Keel Farms. Under his ownership, Keel Farms has turned from a farm and winery to a major destination in Hillsborough County. We spoke to him about building that destination tasting room, ciders, and beers made at Keel Farms, and (most importantly) Florida's wine industry overall and the wide variety of wine products they make.

    Jun 25 2025

    While Soulmate Brewing's home is in Morrisville, VT., the story begins years earlier in Boca Raton, the home of Soulmate's co-founder Jonathan Mogor; and, now, that Soulmate is distributing, the natural first stop was south Florida. During the recent Ocean Brews and Blues Beer Festival, we spoke to Joanthan to learn more about the Soulmate story, find out about the beers currently available in the south Florida market, and hear the craziest beaver infestation story ever!

    Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 192: Cove Brewery
    Jun 11 2025

    I finally made it! After much reminding by head brewer and friend of the podcast Manny Jannes, I have finally made it to Deerfield Beach's first brewery--Cove Brewery! Nestled in The Cove shopping plaza, they have a fantastic lineup of beers, a comfortably inviting beachy tap room, and a location 10 (or so) minutes from the beach. We spoke to Manny and brewer Tyler Immell about their shared experience in South Florida's craft beer scene, Manny's time as Head Brewer at Cove, and creating a craft beer brand in Deerfield Beach.

    Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 191: Bonita Brew Fest 2025
    Jun 4 2025
    Bonita Springs isn't quite as sleepy as it used to be. It's also cultivating a small but mighty beer scene, helped out by yearly events like the Bonita Brew Fest. This year's event took place at Riverside Park, right in downtown Bonita Springs and pretty close to my favorite Everglades Wonder Gardens. It's also sponsored by the Southwest Florida Brew Crafters, and we start today's episode speaking to John Newman, president of the Brew Crafters to learn more about the organization, the event, and the SWFL beer scene in general. From there, we will also be chatting with the CEO of the newly-opened Swamp Cat Brewing, Chris Gutirrez, Bill Vaughn and his new Kaleidoscope Brewing, Coastal Dayz Brewing owner Alex Tatko, Point Ybel Brewing owner Jordan Weisberg, and Scotty's Bierwerks Head Brewer Max Maldorf. It was quite the busy day! Listen in...
