Beer Radar

Since it opened in ‘07, Florida’s tiny Saint Sylvester brewery has built a quick and well-deserved rep for bottle-conditioned farmhouse ales. Founder/brewer Bob Sylvester reports he’s going to start keg-conditioning some of his beer for the New York market, where his distributor helpfully provided the necessary barrels.

Which, in my not-so-subtle hint to St. Sylvester’s distributor in Philly (Bella Vista) to track down more kegs!

In other Somewhere news, Sylvester expects to debut his new Pays du Soleil (Sunshine State) at a craft brew festival in Florida on July 18th. It’s a saison flavored with whole hibiscus and palmetto berries, the latter of which Sylvester says tastes like a cross between roasted peanuts and black patent malt.
