Persimmon Hollow Brewing welcomed Terrapin Beer Company’s President and Co-Founder into their facility for a collaborative brew on December 29, 2014. Holler Hopper starts with the base of a traditional Belgian Golden Ale but also adds the typical Terrapin twist by using more flavorful American Hop varieties. This beer is brewed with Candi Sugar to help increase alcohol content while still having a dry finish and lighter body to let the hops shine through.

“It’s an honor for Robbie (Carelli) and I to brew with Terrapin,” said Persimmon Hollow’s Andy Sistrunk.  “We originally had our homebrew being served at the 2012 Deland Beer Fest, and it was the Terrapin people who convinced us our beers were good enough to go pro. When John was down for the fest last year, we really hit it off and knew we had to do a collaboration at some point.”

Holler Hopper will be released during Volusia Beer Week January 30 – February 8, 2015. The highlight of the week is the Deland Craft Beer Festival on February 7th, the very place where Andy, Robbie and John met a year ago.

“I’m excited to be heading back to the Deland Beer Fest,” stated Terrapin Beer’s John Cochran. “For me it was a highlight of the year in 2014 and having the chance to brew with Andy and Robbie is going to be fun. I started my first job in a craft brewery in early 1995, so this brew is one way I can celebrate 20 years in this crazy and wonderful industry.”

Malts: Pilsner Malt, Crystal 10, Wheat Flakes
Hops: Apollo, Cascade, Chinook, Ahtanum, Simcoe, Zythos

Holler Hopper will be packaged in 22 oz. bottles for sale only in Persimmon Hollow’s tasting room while 1/6 BBL kegs will be released in February 2015, with availability throughout Persimmon Hollow’s distribution network.

Brewers Bobby Baker and Randy Weaver have finally found their match: each other! The local Bay Area brewers have come together to bring us an exciting, new collaboration brew. Get Stranded is a Belgian style Wit brewed using New Zealand hops in both the boil and dry hopped. These aromatic hops lend flavors and aromas of apricot and lime for a refreshing beer sure to help you celebrate the month of August in style. This brew is very limited and only available for a short time. Three parties are devoted exclusively to this awesome collab:

Between Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties, there are a good number of  breweries. The more we can get these guys and gals together to keep innovating and creating, the better off the Tampa Bay beer scene will be. These types of collab brews is why Tampa Bay and the surrounding area is becoming an internationally recognized destination for beer lovers. So, cheers to all of our brothers and sisters at Shipyard and Three Palms, for once again making our days brighter with this tropical brew!

TAMPA, FL — Recently Southern Brewing & Winemaking (Southern) hosted a collaboration brew day in honor of the Bad A** Beerfest put on by Tampa Bay Brewing Company.

Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC) teamed up with Southern, Cigar City Brewpub, Barley Mow, Coppertail, Green Bench, and Big Storm to brew six recipes that will be released at the Bad A** Beerfest on June 28th. All six brews will be on tap together under one tent at the festival.

The actual brewing took place at Southern on Friday, June 6th. Craft beer fans were invited to come hang out in the Southern biergarten and watch the brewing process. Southern was chosen as the brewday location due to the brewery’s unique small batch set-up that allows for six batches to be brewed at the same time.

The six collaborations brewed for the festival include:

TBBC and Cigar City Brewpub: Weizenbock
TBBC and Barley Mow: Big IPA
TBBC and Coppertail: Saison
TBBC and Green Bench: Belgian Dubbel
TBBC and Big Storm: Smoked Scotch Ale

For the final brew, TBBC, CCB Brewpub, Barley Mow, Coppertail, Greenbench, Big Storm, and Southern all independently chose some malt and hops and threw them together for a unique and surprising amalgam brew.

Southern was involved with all of brews that day, so one keg of each of the beers brewed for the festival will also be available on tap in the Southern taproom later this month.
