A lauded South Florida gypsy brewery finally gets its brick-and-mortar.
HYPE IS A SENSITIVE WORD in the beer world. It refers to buzz around a certain brewery, but with a Cheshire Cat smile that implies the glow won’t last. In Dania Beach, Florida, though, hype has built a business with four walls and a name: 3 Sons Brewing Co.
The momentum has been growing since Hunahpu Day 2015, Cigar City Brewing’s mega popular annual beer festival, when Corey Artanis won Best Brewery for his gypsy brewery 3 Sons and Best Beer for Kopi Summation, a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout brewed with coffee and vanilla beans.
The accolades earned Artanis—a former Army soldier who was a paramedic at the time—an offer to quit his hospital job and brew professionally at The Brass Tap in Naples. It also led to collaborations with Abnormal Beer Co., Bottle Logic Brewing and Cycle Brewing. The latter was called Rare Scoop, a Four Roses bourbon barrel-aged version of 3 Sons’ Neapolitan ice cream-flavored milk stout that’s become Cycle’s top-rated beer on Untappd.
