SALUD! So when my wife and I moved to Florida a couple years ago, my brother Hashim (and several others for that matter) highly recommended I hit J.Wakefield Brewing as soon as possible. The pandemic delayed things a bit but, here recently, I was finally headed to check’em out! On my way to Fort Lauderdale […]

SALUD! Hope everyone’s enjoying the Holiday season. This past weekend, I popped in Leaven Brewing for a quick flight to see what they had new. These guys are in the suburbs of Tampa, about 15-20 miles south east of downtown in the Riverview area. They do solid work, got a nice space and I always […]

SALUD! So while I was grabbing a couple flights at Overflow Brewing in St. Pete, a couple of the bartenders said to check out Southern Lights Brewing Company over in Clearwater. They’d just finished up a collaboration which is always dope to see from craft breweries in my opinion! Also, I had no idea SLBC […]

SALUD! So while I was down in Fort Lauderdale during my last visit, I found Gulf Stream Brewing Company after hittin’ up a couple other breweries in the downtown area. Because GSBC was the last stop that evening, my expectations weren’t very high going in. That’s not because they weren’t highly recommended (which they were). […]

SALUD! So after I hit up Orchestrated Minds Brewing, Davy (Co-Founder, Head Brewer & fellow Tennessee Volunteer) highly recommended a visit to Invasive Species Brewing. I’m obviously very fond of the Tampa Bay area breweries but the Fort Lauderdale area is really a treat. I typically stay close to downtown when I visit and there’s […]

SALUD! Funky Buddha Brewery is one of the OG spots in Fort Lauderdale I typically hit up when I’m in the area. This is another one that my brother, Hashim, highly recommended I hit up whenever I could. So I did – and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and always do! FB has a couple locations […]

SALUD! So last time I was in Fort Lauderdale, I also had to go to Palm Beach – about 45 miles away. Typically I do a quick rundown of local breweries to hit but this visit was so short (like 14 hours), I honestly didn’t think I’d have time or the energy to do anything […]

SALUD! I know I’ve already mentioned a handful of the Tampa Bay area breweries but I need to give a shout to Woven Water Brewing Company as well. It was either the guys at Magnanimous Brewing or Hidden Springs Ale Works that recommended I go and WWBC has been in my rotation ever since! The […]

SALUD! I’ve always wanted to check out St. Augustine, FL, with it being one of the oldest cities in the country. The way history’s been painted or hidden or re-written, there’s always a chance of being disappointed in what “history” you actually find, especially for Black Americans. But that’s a whole different discussion I’ll save […]
