Ever since announcing his impending move out of Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood, J. Wakefield Brewing has alluded to an impending “last hurrah” party to send the taproom off in style. The brewery has set a date and posted some details online, with more promised to follow.
J. Wakefield Brewing broke the news recently on the Steal This Beer Podcast, but the brewery has not released the news until now. This afternoon, the news became official (and with new dates from the podcast).

Homestead- Miami Brewing Company’s tasting room at Schnebly Redlands Winery is like a tropical paradise in the middle of Homestead. The brewery has now taken a step towards its customers by canning their Big Rod Coconut Blonde Ale- now customers are able to bring home a taste of the tropical ale.
Currently Big Rod Coconut Blonde Ale is only available in 12oz cans from the Schnebly Redlands tasting room, but according to the brewery, “We are in negotiations with Publix and Total Wine as well as many more. Hopefully by the 1st of the year we can get it on the shelf.”
