Maple Syrup to Master Brewer: Science Behind Clearwater's Most Unique Beers - Flights with Founders

What happens when a mad scientist gets access to a brewery? You get beers unlike anything else in Tampa Bay. I sat down with Rob, owner of Clearwater Brewing Company, and Wayne, their Master Brewer, for one of the most fascinating conversations we have had on Flights with Founders. Wayne broke down the science of biotransformation and what it actually means for the flavor in your glass, and I walked away with a whole new respect for what goes into every pour. We tasted through some of their best, but Top Hat stole the show for me. A maple syrup infused beer that hit different the moment I heard it, because I grew up making maple syrup with my family business. That first sip was more than just a great beer. It was a full circle moment. Rob and Wayne are doing something genuinely special at Clearwater Brewing Company. This is not a corporate operation. This is two guys who care deeply about their craft and the community they are building around it. Whether you are a craft beer lover, a local business fan, or just someone who appreciates people who go all in on what they do, this one is for you.
