Florida Beer News is proud to announce a collaboration with Speak Out Shirts for two new conversation-starters related to the beer styles we love and the ubiquitous anti-hero the Sunshine State has spawned.

How did this collaboration come about?

Well, it really came from John LoScalzo and the cool shirts for LoKo Cuisine. When John was a guest on the BeerWise Podcast, I forgot to ask him about the shirts and designs for LoKo, so I did some research and discovered Speak Out Shirts was LoKo’s shirt purveyor and collaborator. Once I reached out and talked to the team at Speak Out, ideas were shared, and collaborations were born – from our minds to the talented designs from Speak Out to these awesome prints.

Or to put it better, as Speak Out Shirts said on their blog:

If there’s one thing we know about Florida, it’s that our state never fails to serve up sunshine, surprises, and the occasional jaw-dropping headline. That’s why I’m excited to announce a special collaboration between Speak Out Shirts and Florida Beer News @FLBeerNews.com—because nothing pairs better with a cold craft beer than a conversation-starting tee.

We’re kicking things off with two designs that are as Floridian as they come:

🦩 Florida Man
The legend. The myth. The mullet. Our Florida Man shirt is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the wild headlines we’ve all seen (and secretly love). This over-the-top hero sports a beach towel cape, carries only the best Publix subs, illegal fireworks, and an attitude that says “Hold my beer.” It’s both a scathing caricature and a celebration of the chaotic spirit that keeps Florida… well, Florida.

🍺 Live, Laugh, Love, Barley Wine
Forget decorative wall art—this is the “Live, Laugh, Love” for those who’d rather toast with a rich, complex barley wine than sip herbal tea. Equal parts ironic and sincere, this shirt winks at the burly, beer-loving crowd while inviting anyone with a sense of humor to join in. (Click the pic to order yours!)

This collaboration means a lot to the team at Florida Beer News because part of the fun of working with the community of craft beer is the great conversations that can be had at any given moment.
