From Southern Brewing:
On Friday, June 20, the head brewers from Southern Brewing & Winemaking (Southern) and Florida Avenue Brewing Co (Florida Ave) came together to brew a new beer to be released at a neighborhood market called Seminole Heights Market at Southern.
“Since the market is centric around Seminole Heights locals, we wanted to do a collaboration with another Seminole Heights brewery and Florida Ave was happy to team up with us,” stated Brian Fenstermacher, head brewer and owner of Southern
The idea for the beer came from something Aaron Barth, Florida Ave’s head brewer, has had turning around in his mind for some time. “Saisons are good summer beers, and the idea of adding maple syrup has been stuck in my head recently,” stated Barth.
The two brewers wanted to brew something that would be good for summer, but was also a unique interpretation of a less common style and would represent the philosophies of both breweries.
The brew uses 100% real maple syrup. 40 gallons total were brewed, 10 of which will be aged on 100% Brett Troy for 4-5 months, and the other 30 gallons will be released at the Seminole Heights Market at Southern on July 13th. This brew will be part of a special line-up of beers that will be available at a discounted price to attendees that purchase a special event glass.
