Funky Buddha Creates Pizza Collaboration

Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, the South Florida-based concept that uses authentic coal-burning ovens to create “well done pizza,” has teamed up with Fort Lauderdale-based Funky Buddha Brewery. The result is a beer to debut exclusively at Anthony’s called Fuhgeddaboudit Red.

 Fuhgeddaboudit is an “Italian-American” ale brewed with European barley and English hops. The red ale is meant to pair well with Anthony’s coal fired pizza and red sauce.

Fuhgeddaboudit Red Ale will debut on February 14th, at the following locations: Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Plantation, Pompano Beach and Weston in Broward; Aventura, Coral Gables, Doral, Kendall, Miami Lakes and Pinecrest in Miami-Dade; Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Stuart and Wellington in Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast.

New Holland Teams Up with Carhartt Work Wear

Carhartt, the legendary work wear brand, and New Holland Brewing are teaming up for a very special collaboration.

Carhartt turns a whopping 125 years old this year, and to pay tribute to the hard working people that wear the brand, will be a special beer. Both New Holland and Carhartt will collaborate on the entire process, from concept, ingredients, and packaging.

“Carhartt is the epitome of craftsmanship,” said New Holland president, Brett VanderKamp. “The same dedication to hard work and creativity that we admire in farmers, chefs, artists and other brewers – is exactly what you’ll find at Carhartt. They reflect the same devotion to quality raw materials, artisan processes and delivering remarkable results as we do here at New Holland.”

You’ll see shared stories from the two companies throughout 2014. No style details have been released yet.

The Alesmith/Cigar City “Dubbel Coast” Collab

Just a bit more on the upcoming Alesmith/ Cigar City Brewing collaboration, Dubbel Dare. The brewery travelled down to Tampa recently to create a tropical collaboration.

The result is this 80’s throwback, Dubbel Dare suitable for a physical challenge. When you think about Florida, you think beaches right? Coconuts, palm trees, etc? There’s the inspiration for a tropical Belgian-style dubbel. Coconut palm sugar was used in place of candi sugar. Deglet Noor dates and Black Mission figs were added to the fermentation. An abbey yeast strain rounds out the flavor. Now you have a “dubbel coast” collaboration.

Cigar City will bottle this in 750ml bottles for Florida distribution.

Style: Dubbel (w/ Coconut Palm Sugar, Deglet Noor Dates, Black Mission Figs)
Availability: 25.4oz Bottles
Arrival: TBA
