Big Friday at the brewery! Not only do we have Live Music tonight from 7pm to 10 pm with Free Whiskey Duo (a group that is quickly becoming a fan-favorite around here), but we also have a . . .
COLLABORATION RELEASE WITH Tampa Bay Brewing Company: Gudes Never Say Die - a Fruited Sour featuring Local Kumquats, Cranberries, Vanilla & Lactose. This beer is our liquid ode to the Gude Family of Kumquat Growers Kumquat Growers, a local business that has supplied both Dade City Brew House and TBBC with countless lbs. of kumquats over the years. The Gude Family and their farm have endured quite a bit over time: freezes, root rot, citrus greening, insect issues, and just the constant changes in Dade City itself. All of this and still the family perseveres and pushes forward because - to paraphrase the 80's classic 'Goonies' - Gudes Never Say Die. This is a draft-only release that is available at Dade City Brew House and TBBC Ybor & Westchase locations. We only have two kegs of this treat, so make sure you come by soon to give it a try (no growlers on this one, sorry).
Additional Tasting Notes from TBBC
Visual: Light pastel pink with a light pink head.
Aroma: Kumquat citrus notes along with cranberry and vanilla.
Taste: Light and refreshing with a lip smacking sourness makes this a refreshing beer for our Florida winter. Kumquats are the star followed closely by cranberries and vanilla. The mouthfeel is spritzy and with the flavor being citrus/cranberry this beer is an excellent beer to pair with salads, grilled shrimp, creamy cheeses and chocolate.
