Talking Beer Trends and Florida Breweries During and Post-COVID with the Balls and Brew Podcast (The Craft Beer Ballers)

Earlier this month, I had a great conversation with the Craft Beer Ballers, Johnny and Kevin, while enjoying some Florida craft beers. While we got meet in-person then hit up 7venth Sun Brewery the first time we met in 2019, this time we had to convene via a Zoom video call.

The conversation was still great, it was just BYOB and we couldn't share what we brought to the discussion. But we were able to catch up and talk about beer life during COVID-19, what breweries have been doing to survive, and what breweries are starting to look like as they embark on the reopening. We drank and talked about great Florida craft beers including Xander from Bay Cannon Beer Co.in Tampa and Happy Colors, a Double NEIPA from Calusa Brewing in Sarasota.

The whole video is nearly an hour and half, so you may want to go to some of these parts:

• Johnny talks about Xander from Bay Cannons
• Kevin asks me about what I'm drinking (Happy Colors DIPA from Calusa)
  
• Discussing the current state of breweries and what the post-COVID reopen will look like
  
• What breweries we're going to when things fully open back up
