Get Down Get Funky: Something New is Brewing in Oakland Park
On a hot summer night in June, we attended the highly anticipated grand-opening event with 3000+ beer enthusiasts to celebrate the arrival of Broward County’s first production microbrewery. But even better than that, Jason and I were invited to a private “behind the scenes” tour with Brand Director John Linn. Inside this spacious building, they will produce approximately 5000 barrels (that is 10,000 full size kegs) in its first year of operation! See Burger Belle’s review at Burger Beast’s Blog for more behind the scenes.
What impressed us most about these craft beer “Buddhists” was their dedication and singular focus to achieve beer “nirvana”: the culinary, creative, and often outside-the-box approach to their recipes. Hence the name.

A special thank you to Ryan Hughes for his creative design work. He captured Jason and my concepts for the article and brought them to life. A good article comes from a great editor, and Lynn Stock’s input and direction took the final piece from a one page overview to a four page feature article.
