Bob Sylvester - Founder/Brewer Saint Somewhere Brewing

January 14, 2016 by Marco Leyte-Vidal

Before the term "farmhouse ale" became a cool buzz word that people used as a symbol of their arrival in the craft beer scene, Bob Sylvester was delivering some of the best and most complex "Belgian-ish" farmhouse ales in the world.  Small batches, everything done by hand, and everything done with a purpose - Authenticity.  Authentic.  It's the best word to describe Saint Somewhere and Bob alike.  Unapologetic for who he is and what he stands for, the brewery an extension of this sadly, dying character trait. 

Saint Somewhere is a shining star in Florida and a source of inspiration for other breweries around the country.  A great representation of Florida's past, future, and present.

Cheers,

Craft Commander

Bob Sylvester - Founder/Brewer of Saint Somewhere Brewing and Chase Healey Founder/Brewer of Prairie Artisan Ales

September 09, 2014 by Marco Leyte-Vidal

While some may be wondering what these two breweries (one from Florida and one from Oklahoma) have in common, one look at the top of the page will give you a major clue.  Saint Somewhere and Prairie have collaborated on three saison style beers and there seem to be plans to continue the tradition.  This is a great thing for craft beer as a current legend collaborating with a future legend will always produce great results.  

The takeaway from tonight's conversation: stay honest, stay authentic, push the limits while honoring traditional styles, and focus on producing quality beers over quantity.  I was truly honored to have the opportunity to have this conversation and I hope you enjoy as much as I did.  Watch to the end to find out some cool future plans for both breweries!

Cheers!
