The Destin Brewery opens in Destin, Florida with craft beer on tap at many of the area restaurants.
PRLog - July 29, 2015 - MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. -- Destin, Florida’s first local and namesake craft brewery is officially open for business. A variety of beers are on tap now at many of the area’s restaurants and bars. The Destin Brewery is presently brewing Lagers, Ales, IPAs, Ryes and Saison. Recipes for Stouts, Porters, and Seasonal Brews however, are in the works.
An American Craft Brewer is defined as small, independent and traditional with an annual production of 2 million barrels of beer or less, approximately 3 percent of United States sales or less. According to the Brewers Association the number of brew pubs, regional and microbreweries jumped from 1,521 in 2008 to over 3,200 in 2014. On the sales side, craft brewers’ sales accounted for 17.6 percent of the $101.5 billion United States beer market in 2014.
Local Destin, Florida resident Kelly Taylor, owner and master brewer of the Destin Brewery likes those statistics. “Brewing beer has always been a hobby of mine,” says Kelly. Like many, Kelly Taylor began home brewing small batches to serve to friends and enjoy. About taking the next step Kelly says, “When a friend of mine requested I make a specific beer, one that I had never made or tried before and it turned out to be exactly what he asked for, even better, I thought I might have something here. With Craft Breweries on the rise I figured it’s now or never.” When asked about the local competition Kelly states, “Craft brewing is not a competition, it’s a community. We support each other and encourage all to drink local!”
Destin Brewery’s Destin Ale, Red Sky Rye, and East Pass IPA can be enjoyed at local venues. Restaurants convenient to Destin beach condos such as World of Beer, Craft Bar, The Other End and Island Wing Company are tapping Destin Brews now with more locations to come. The Destin Brewery is located on the north side of Highway 98 off of Benning Drive at 505 Mountain Drive Unit N. Tours can be scheduled by appointment on Friday afternoons from 1:00-3:00pm.
