Who are you?

Home brewers, fans of home brew, and a very small dedicate group of people that are looking to do their part of put a spotlight on Florida beer and home brew.

Why do you do this?

At the time of this site’s creation, there was no site that showcased the accomplishments of Florida home brewers in the manner they deserved. After years of hitting dead ends on trying to volunteer to help with that and getting absolutely no response, we decided to make that site ourselves.
