The Great Outdoors with Lake Tribe Brewing | Ep. 256
Lake Tribe Brewing was inspired by a YMCA youth group
In their earlier years the founders of Tallahassee, Florida’s Lake Tribe Brewing were in a YMCA youth group called… The Lake Tribe. I know, spoiler alert. Years later the fond memories of the group inspired the name of the brewery. Jesse Ross, one of the founders and Head Brewer joins us on the show this week to talk about the roots of Lake Tribe Brewing and how they started super small before expanding.
The outdoor themed brewery started with just a 20-gallon brew system, the size of some homebrew setups. As they made their (very) small batch beers they gained a following and eventually upped their game to a 20-barrel system.
Ross talks with us about the challenge of growing hops in Florida and some of the experimental hops he’s enjoyed experimenting with. We discuss the small but passionate and growing Tallahassee beer scene and we get some details on their WildWoods Series of sour beers, and the best outdoor activity to pair with a few of their beers.
