"Florida is home to a thriving craft beer market, so being one of just a handful of breweries in our state to be recognized is quite an accomplishment," Earlier this year, Somebody Else's Dream won bronze at the Best Florida Beer Competition in Tampa. In 2018, the brewery's top-selling chocolate stout won a gold medal at the U.S. Open Beer Championships and a silver award at the World Beer Cup, an international competition often referred to as "The Olympics of Beer Competitions."

"This year's GABF competition was the largest and most competitive to date," said Chris Swersey, competition manager for the Great American Beer Festival. "The beers and talent were as impressive as ever, and I'm thrilled to congratulate this year's winners for their achievements in brewing."
