Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 65: Cerveceria La Tropical

Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 65: Cerveceria La Tropical

Four Years in the Making...

I have waited a long time for this episode--four years to be exact! That's how long ago I met Manny Portuondo, torchbearer for La Tropical. At the turn of the century, La Tropical was Cuba's biggest beer, and enjoyed a monstrous market share before the island was engulfed in turmoil. After years of work, Manny has finally revived his family's identity in a huge new facility. Join Producer Steve and I as we sit down with Manny and head brewer Matthew Weintraub. We talk about resurrecting the ghost of a 100+ year old beer, bringing the Cerveceria and Jardines to life in Wynwood, and why they're already looking to the future. Listen in...
