FBC Celebrates Its Roots: 4th Annual Key West Brewfest is Coming!

One of the most exciting events in the craft beer world, has to be the Key West Brewfest! This event has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years. From just being a Brewfest on the beach, to now hosting events all week-long. Some of the events include beer dinners, beer bunches, seminars,  beer releases and brand parties. Eventually they should just change the name to  Key West Beer Week 🙂

With our FBC heritage deeply rooted in Key West we always pull out the stops for this very “Uniquely Floridian” event, and this year is no exception!

CONCHAGEDDON! FBC’s Fall Seasonal Conchtoberfest is HERE!

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of its predecessor, our seasonal Conchtoberfest is back, and it’s maltier, smoother and better than ever! That’s right FBC fans and other purveyors of fine libations, our 6.5% ABV German-Style Marzen is back!

Our new quality control manager Joe Cull describes this year’s batch of Conchtoberfest as follows:

“
Appearance:
  Deep Amber colored that “goldens” with light.

Aroma:
  light malty, caramel scent. Anticipation of something sweet.

Taste:
Perfect medley of hops and malt, with an emphasis on the malts. Almost a
caramelized, roasted sensation with a slight spice.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied with a slight carbonation, smooth.

Finish:
Very sweet finish that is savored to completion. “

We are über excited about this year’s release, back in the cobalt blue, and we have updated the label artwork to make it even more amazing! In our attempt to be more green and environmentally conscious at FBC, we decided to reuse the former six packs rather than waste them and order new ones.  This will give you, the consumer, a chance to have a  juxtaposition of the new and old labels, in addition to keeping more trash out of our landfills!

We hope you enjoy this year’s seasonal and look for more exciting beer releases this year from FBC! You can find it at Total Wine & More, ABC, Rolling Oats and on draft at you favorite local craft beer spot!

Return of the CONCH! FBC’s German-Style Marzen Is Back!

If beer releases are anything like monster truck rallies, (which obviously they are… For your taste buds!) then the release of our Oktoberfest seasonal would be known as “CONCHAGEDDON!”. That’s right FBC fans and other purveyors of fine libations our 6.5% abv German-Style Marzen is back! This years limited release seasonal from the Florida Beer Company is better than ever. With a perfect blend of 2-row barley and Munich malts this elegant and traditional style German Lager will leave you wanting more. Aromas of toasted malt and subtle caramel, followed by a smooth, clean and rather rich malty flavor, make this fest beer a perfect choice for the upcoming Oktoberfest season!
