26 Degrees of Creating Great Beer in a Friendly Environment

Plans on tap to open craft brewery, 26th Degree Brewing Co., in Pompano Beach.

“If you brew it, they will come.

City leaders think the 26th Degree Brewing Co., a craft beer brewery expected to open next year, will create more of a draw for the city’s hoped-for beach hot spot area than your average stretch of restaurants and shops would.

‘One of the things with a brewery is there’s a high demand for it,’ said Shanna Benson, marketing director for Pompano Beach’s community redevelopment agencies. ‘The craft beer industry in Florida in the last two years has really taken off. It’s the whole shift to buy local as opposed to going to Publix and buying a Budweiser product.’

The 26th Degree Brewing Co. will feature at first about 10 unique brews, which brewer and co-owner Greg Lieberman describes as “balanced and traditional.” The 21,000-square-foot brewery will include a 5,000-square-foot tap room.”

Saint Somewhere Tasting Room Project Brewery Expansion on Kickstarter

After 8 years as a production brewery, Saint Somewhere is expanding and opening a Traditional Belgian Tasting Room with two guest rooms on site!

About This Project

Saint Somewhere is very excited to announce that after 8 years of being just a production facility, and a tiny one at that, they are moving, expanding and opening a tasting room!

They are purchasing a historic house built in 1912 to use as a tasting room/Belgian beer bar downstairs, and upstairs, they will have two guest rooms available for a night or a week in Downtown Tarpon Springs, Florida. One mile from the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and the famous Sponge Docks. Tarpon Springs is also home to a number of world class Greek restaurants.

On the brewery side, they are going from our current 1200sf to 2000sf, which doesn’t sound large but after working in 1200sf for 8 years… 2000sf is sprawling! Saint Somewhere is adding two foeders, two more 18bbl fermenters and adding a few parts and pieces to help with the bottling process.

The showpiece will be the tasting room!

Once completed, it will be a replica of an old world Belgian beer bar. Antique bar. Uniformed staff. Proper glassware. Lots of small tables. Menu of charcuterie. All candle lighting on Friday and Saturday nights. Guest taps will include the best and brightest from Belgium and France along with an extensive bottle list and bottle cellar stocked with Shelton Brothers Importing’s finest.

Our entire staff believes in our mission statement ‘Simple. Honest.

Their core beers, which will be featured at the events around Jacksonville, as well as at Riverside Craft Beer Festival include:

Quackalope – American IPA, 6.8% ABV. A traditional American IPA – citrusy, piney, and refreshing.

The Unkindness – American Black Ale, 7.4% ABV. This is the beer that got it all started. We used a ton of hops for both bittering and aroma. It’s dark, but don’t be fooled, it’s not nearly as roasty as it appears.

Selkie – Belgian Rye Pale Ale, 5.1% ABV. This unique beer has a combination of fruity Belgian yeast and rye spice followed by a smooth biscuity finish. It’s citrusy, herbal, and delicious.
