We've seen more than a few brewery closings lately. It's refreshing to see a grand opening. Who's gone by Outcast Brewing and can provide feedback?

Outcast Brewing Grand Opening post on Facebook

Sour Beer Day at Arkane Aleworks is Saturday, September 14. Looks like 21 sour beers on tap (with four being canned for take-home beer).

You can see the different sour beers on IG

The FemAle Brew Fest is Saturday, September 14 at Las Olas Oceanside Park in Fort Lauderdale.

You can find more info and a list of participating breweries on the event's website.

"FemAle Brew Fest is an annual festival dedicated to celebrating and highlighting the achievements of women in the alcoholic beverage industry, including beer, cider, wine, and spirits. The event provides a platform for female brewers, cider makers, winemakers, and distillers to showcase their craft, share their stories, and inspire future generations. It aims to elevate the visibility of women in these traditionally male-dominated fields and foster a supportive community for all involved."

I know Orchestrated Minds has $5 lagers during the game.

Where else is doing something cool for the game?

1. Ology x WeldWerks hazy
2. Ology x Bo's Ice Cream Berliner

First Magnitude in Gainesville will celebrate their 10-year anniversary on Saturday, August 17. They announced four new beers for the party:

DECADES, West Coast IPA — This special IPA is a hop lover’s dream, featuring Citra hops in FOUR distinct ways to deliver a symphony of citrus and tropical notes. We then dry-hopped with Necatron for that extra punch of juicy goodness. But that’s not all—fermented with wildflower honey for a touch of floral sweetness! ABV: 7.4%

SPECIAL DELIVERY, Hazy IPA — Like a certain parcel service, we love logistics — hop logistics, that is. Galaxy, Sabro, CTZ Cryo, El Dorado Cryo, & HBC 586 practically spill off the truck with this IPA. ABV: 6.5%

BEST DAY EVER, Pineapple Vanilla Soft Serve Sour — Brewed with vanilla, soft serve mix, pineapple, and milk sugar, best day ever is a Creamy, Dreamy sour delight that’s packed with pineapple goodness and has the goldilocks balance between sweet and tart. ABV: 6.0%

BRIGHTSIDE BLUEBERRY + RASPBERRY Cider — An effervescent, slightly sweet hard apple cider with bursts of juicy blueberries and tangy raspberries that will delightfully dance on your tastebuds with vibrant fruit flavors and a crisp apple finish. And it’s PINK! ABV: 5.5%

More deets on the party on Saturday are here.

So I have a bit of a problem. I have had some Bourbon County Stouts (of various varieties) in a temperature controlled mini fridge for about 8-9 years now and I don't drink any more. I'd hate to just throw them away but I'm not sure how I can go about getting money for them when I don't exactly have a license to sell alcohol. I'm sure there are some people in the Tampa Bay Area that would be interested but I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this or besides Reddit idk how to reach out to find someone. I need a Beer-Begone-Kenobi to help say Goodbye There to these beers

OM announced Tuesday their trip to Colorado to collab on a hazy Double IPA. I can't wait.

“Where's J. Wakefield in the world right now?

Right now? Well, I would call it a transitionary period. You know what I mean?

That's what I would call it. I would say we were in a transition and basically we will be moving out. Moving out of our Wynwood location.

Which is where we do all these things we do, right?

Absolutely. I mean, that's where our production facility is, where our taproom is. Been there for 11 years now.

Since we started the build out and everything. And really been up for about 10 years running. And obviously, having been there a decade, just I've watched the transition myself of the neighborhood to what it is now.

I mean, we've definitely, I would say we have survived to this point within the last four years ever since COVID. I mean, we hung on, man. I mean, they shut our street down, built two condos on our street and dealt with that for three years.

But, you know, we're at a point now where we just got priced out.”
