on our recent trip to florida we visited the florida beer company tasting room and brewery. here they brew hurricane reef, ybor gold, key west, la tropical and other florida beers.

the brewery was fairly small, offering a fun intimate setting for the visitor. the tasting room was on the second floor of the building, right above the beer brewing. this allowed you to watch the brewers hard at work while sampling their beers. we watched the bottling and capping process while tasting ours. the setup reminded me a lot of the rogue brewery in newport, or.

i tried the key west sunset ale and swamp ape ipa on draft. although i enjoyed the sunset ale, it was the swamp ape ipa that really stood out. this tasty treat was extremely hoppy and a whopping 10%, quite the beast indeed! it was brand new from florida beer and not actually available yet. i was bummed i couldn’t buy any to bring home.

i had a blast sampling fresh brewed local beers while on vacation! if you ever find yourself in melbourne, florida, be sure to stop by the florida beer company.

i have been working in senoia, ga this entire week. yesterday, my buddy ian and i got up early to check out this amazing mill before work. we had noticed a nearby historical marker earlier in the week and decided to stop by for further exploration. we ended up finding this beautiful old mill, called starr’s mill, next to a gorgeous waterfall. according to the historical marker, the mill was built in 1907 and operated until 1959. it was very picturesque, especially with the fall foliage!

we had a great day at satellite beach today! there was lots of fun and sun and the heat was surprisingly tame. we topped off the day with some soft serve from a roadside stand called moo’s. here’s to florida beaches in november! too bad nasa keeps delaying the shuttle launch.
