Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 64: Curtain Up at Bay Cannon Brewing in Tampa and a Visit to Riptide Brewing in Naples

Not too long ago, two Broadway actors and craft beer podcasters created a beer to help fund a program for out of work theatre professionals around the country. That program is The Actors Fund, the show is The Happy Hour Guys, and that beer is Curtain Up--a hazy IPA bursting with citric hop goodness. Three breweries in Florida are slated to release the beer, and the first is Tampa's Bay Cannon Brewing. We'll chat with co-founder Matthew Juaire about the reason behind making the beer and giving back to this vibrant arts community.

From there, we head to Naples with a visit to Riptide Brewing. Since our last visit, they've had new ownership and a whole new refresh: new logo, new interior, new beer garden, and especially new beers. We sat down with co-owner Kim West in that wonderful beer garden to discuss what it was like taking over an existing brewery, changes they made, and their big plans for the future.
