  • Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 201: Brewing in Orlando with Ivanhoe Park Brewing
    Oct 22 2025
    Since May 2017, Ivanhoe Park Brewing Co. has been making beers in the city they readily and openly celebrate--Orlando. In that time, they've grown their regional footprint and their brewing space with the opening of the Ivanhoe Park Lager House last year, located close to Camping World Stadium. All of that is headed up by Co-founder Glenn Closson. We spoke to Glenn about leaving Southern CA to brew in Orlando, supporting and being supported by Ivanhoe Village and OBT Next, and how you can own your own special part of the business.

  • Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 195: Clay Keel of Keel Farms
    Jul 9 2025

    Florida's wine industry has been around for generations, but still has not quite gotten the respect and attention it deserves. To chat about this, we went to one of Florida's largest wineries, Keel Farms, located in Plant City.

    The business is now under its second generation of operation with Clay Keel, current owner and president of Keel Farms. Under his ownership, Keel Farms has turned from a farm and winery to a major destination in Hillsborough County. We spoke to him about building that destination tasting room, ciders, and beers made at Keel Farms, and (most importantly) Florida's wine industry overall and the wide variety of wine products they make.
