Mybeerbuzz .com Highlights 3 Daughters Former New England IPA

As much as I love a good IPA, I also love getting a chance to sample a beer from a brewery that I’ve never had a chance to visit or a chance to taste their beer. Today’s beer is an IPA and that brewery is 3 Daughters Brewing in St. Petersburg, FL (so I get to do both). One of the largest independent breweries in Florida, 3 Daughters began with the simple question, “How many beers does it take to put three daughters through college?” 3 Daughters Brewing opened it’s doors in Dec 2013 and they continue to answer that question today.

This afternoon I’ll be sampling 3 Daughters Former New England IPA and if you’re not familiar (or a follower of the NFL), the beer was brewed in honor of Tom Brady’s move from New England to Tampa, FL. As 3 Daughters describes it, “The beer itself is a Florida twist on a classic American brew, a citrusy and crushable version of the traditional New England-style IPA, highlighting the flavors of the Sunshine State while giving a nod to the history of great brewing in New England.” Naturally I can’t wait to try it, so off we go…
