As Florida begins its slow recovery following the effects of Hurricane Irma, brewers in the state are getting back to business and doing their part to help fellow residents get back on their feet.
This Friday at least three breweries in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area will gather together to brew an IPA with the proceeds going directly to local charities to help Floridians in need.
“We were incredibly lucky,” says Khristopher Johnson the head brewer and co-owner of Green Bench Brewing, “Most of the breweries in this area escaped relatively unscathed, but our neighbors and people in the state lost a lot, so we want to help them out.”
