    Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 209: Coral Reefer CannaBrew
    Jun 24 2026

    It is no secret that CBD infused beverages are becoming the next hot item in craft drinks. The regulation surrounding these, however, tends to still be a work in progress.

    Also currently undergoing refinement is how these beverages are marketed and sold to the general public. But, if you're going to have a beverage that promotes the idea of a fun sunny day, who better to pair with it then the Legacy of Florida favorite Jimmy Buffett?

    That was all the idea behind Coral reefer, a new non-alcoholic CBD infused beverage. Produced with the inspiration of everyone's favorite parrot head, these beverages come in a variety of flavors and THC strengths.

    We spoke to the co-founders behind Coral Reefer, Joe Snyder and Peter Hanley, about the legacy of Jimmy buffett, creating a beverage with the marketplace and the Margaritaville inspiration in mind, and the future of these beverages in Florida and the United states.

    Plus, listeners will have access to a special discount code to order Coral reefer shipped directly to you!

  • Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 208: Tidal Brewing, Spring Hill

    Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 208: Tidal Brewing, Spring Hill
    May 27 2026

    It is impossible to ignore what Tidal Brewing in Spring Hill used to be in a former life.

    The gas station pumps have long since been removed but the overhang remains, as well as the separate car wash that has been turned into a brewhouse. And an award-winning brewhosue, no less.

    That work was done by owners Dave and Maxine Peitzman, both former teachers in Hernando County turned brewmaster and tap room manager for one of the area's hottest breweries. I sat down with Dave and Maxine to discuss beer in the region, how Tidal reflected their own backgrounds in education, and the joys of converting a car wash to a brewhouse.

    Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 207: Green Turtle Brewery and Public House, St. Petersburg
    May 20 2026

    There is nothing more cozy, warm, and inviting than a British pub. With deep colors, understated pub signs, and tons of Premier League scarves covering every potential space, the new Green Turtle Brewery and Public House on Central in St. Pete does everything right to appease our friends from across the pond.

    Green Turtle is owned by its brewer Todd Bearden. His brewing path began in St. Louis while in school for theatre, so we spoke to him about that experience, finding the right location for Green Turtle, and the depth of a good cask ale program.

    Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 206: Retro Chill at 3 Daughters Brewing
    Apr 29 2026
    The RTD, or Ready To Drink craft cocktail, has taken the craft beverage world by storm recently. These ready mixed cocktails are a perfect compliment to any occasion and give consumers that aren't necessarily interested in beer a different avenue to try. One brewery in Florida, our friends at St Pete's 3 Daughters Brewing, has been embracing the RTD phenomenon for years, putting substantial thought behind their line of Retro Chill RTD beverages. These inspired cocktails, of which there are now four, are available statewide in a variety of locations. We sat down with Corey Auger, Director of Channel Sales and Brand Development to discuss the RTD phenomenon, the amazing flavors of Retro Chill, and 3 Daughters commitment to always exploring the latest and greatest for their customers.

  • Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 204: Ulele, Part 1

    Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 204: Ulele, Part 1
    Apr 8 2026
    In 1903, a water pumping station was opened along the banks of the Hillsborough River in Tampa to supply fresh water to the growing Ybor City and residents beyond. After falling into disrepair for many years, it was purchased and heavily renovated by the 1905 Family of Restaurants to become Ulele, a destination offering pre-Columbian Florida-inspired cuisine and a rotation of local-inspired beers. In that time, Ulele has grown into a crown jewel and beloved destination along Tampa's much-visited Riverwalk. The beers, which you can enjoy along the 2.6-mile riverwalk, are the brainchild of Ulele's brewmaster Tim Shackton, who joined the Ulele team a full 2 years before the opening of the restaurant. Making sure Ulele is an important part of the fabric of Tampa's vibrant culture is Jeff Houck, VP of Marketing of the 1905 Family of Restaurants (best known for Columbia Restaurant, Florida's oldest restaurant). Jeff is a guru when it comes to all things Tampa History, even co-authoring a fantastic book about the history of the Cuban sandwich. I spoke to Tim and Jeff about Columbia's beer-related history, their location along the Hillsborough River and Tampa's Riverwalk, and the surprising beer style Ulele did not open with.
