Beer lovers everywhere, rejoice! GrassLands Brewing Company is setting up shop right here in Tallahassee.

With only a select number of local breweries, the opening of GrassLands will help cultivate the local craft-beer scene here in the capital city, as well as provide a new hangout for beer aficionados and college students alike.

Their slogan, “Earth First Ales,” represents their personal philosophy of environmentalism, sustainable energy and conservationism. By incorporating local and organic ingredients as often as possible, GrassLands aims to not only make good beers but make a difference while doing so.

GrassLands began with a man and a dream. That man is Gabe Grass, the president and head brewer. Grass began brewing beer in his house after receiving a brew kit as a Christmas gift.

“Every home-brewer out there gets told at one point or another that they could sell their beer and should start a brewery. Most of those who take the suggestion seriously take a look at the financial undertaking required to start a brewery and say, ‘I think I’ll keep my day job and continue home-brewing on the weekends’” Grass said. “I’m one of those crazy few on the fringe who decided to follow the dream”.

Local Tallahassee Breweries Collaborate

North Florida is about to get their taste of a collaborative beer brewed between two Tallahassee Craft brewers.

The following was released by GrassLands:

“Fermentation Lounge and GrassLands Brewing Company, a brewery in-planning set to launch in Spring 2014, have partnered to brew a special collaboration beer to be released at Fermentation Lounge at 5 pm on Wednesday, November 13. Fermentation Lounge head brewer Robert Clark and GrassLands Brewing Company owner & head brewer Gabe Grass teamed up to brew a rye saison, one of GrassLands’ future year-round recipes.

The rye saison is GrassLands’ take on a traditional Belgian style ale, brewed with rye and oats, making for a silky mouthfeel with fruit and herbal spice flavors. Twenty gallons will be served.  Fermentation Lounge will provide its twist to the recipe with an additional 10 gallons of rye saison with the addition of lemon zest and white peppercorn to complement the beer’s flavor.

Fermentation Lounge is Tallahassee’s first craft brewpub. Located in the historic All Saints neighborhood, Fermentation Lounge brews beer in small, one-barrel batches (31 US gallons), specializing in unique and innovative styles of beer highlighted by the use of local ingredients.  

 GrassLands Brewing Company is a production brewery in-planning, slated to launch in Summer 2014 and begin brewing by Fall 2014. Producing beer in a facility with an on-site taproom, GrassLands’ mission will be to provide Tallahassee and Florida with innovative and creative craft beers made with 100% natural malts, hops and adjuncts, using organic ingredients and recycled materials whenever and however possible in all facets of the brewery. GrassLands is committed to the local community, the environment and animal welfare. The company slogan: “Earth First Ales” represents its commitment to the conservation and sustainability of the environment and declining animal habitats.
