QUALITY
Proactive quality management is the number one priority at Florida Beer Company. Stringent quality control standards and methodologies equate to quality assured and consistent consumer bound products.

HISTORY
With two decades of Brewing Tradition, Florida Beer Company is an established leader in the beer and brewing culture in Florida. In 2005 Indian River Beverage Corp. acquired the assets of then Tampa, Florida-based Florida Beer Company, bringing together a number of brands and the brewing traditions of Indian River Brewing Co., Ybor City Brewing, Miami Brewing and Key West Brewing, doing business as Florida Beer Company.

In 2013 Florida Beer Company completed a major expansion in beautiful Cape Canaveral, FL. The expansion included over 5 acres, a 60,000 sqft. state of the art brewing facility, 90 bbl. Steinecker fully automated brewhouse and a 5,000 sqft. tap room. The brewery’s tap room hosts many community events and is a premiere destination for locals, visitors of Florida and active Florida lifestyle enthusiasts. The brewery is active in the community, sponsoring many events and charitable organizations.

In 2016 the acquisition of Florida Beer Company by the ANSA McAL Group marks the groups first purchase of a private brewing production facility in the United States. This Caribbean pioneer is highly experienced in the production of malt beverage “beer” brands with local flavor and international appeal. ANSA McAL’s Beverage Sector currently owns and operates Carib Brewery in Trinidad, one of the largest and well established local brewing companies in the Caribbean along with its breweries in Grenada and St. Kitts and Nevis. With over 1000 employees, Carib Brewery produces the much loved Carib beer, commonly referred to as the “beer of the Caribbean” and Carib Light. Carib Brewery also brews Stag beers and a range of Shandy Carib products.

The Florida Beer Company and its portfolio of high quality beer and cider brands have received numerous awards from prestigious competitions such as the Great American Beer Festival, U.S. Open Beer Championships, The World Beer Cup, North American Beer Awards and the Australian International Beer Awards.
