Congrats guys! I see there's a few WOB sites on there, do you reckon you will hit any south Florida locations? I'd love to get my hands on a Devil’s Chair IPA and a Death Roll Nitro Milk Stout.

This is just for a 7 county area (Polk, Osceola, Orange, Seminole, Lake, Volusia, Brevard), so none down in South Florida yet.

Greater Jacksonville-metro is our next scheduled region, not sure when because it really depends on the demand around Orlando.

January 12th can't come soon enough! I'm really excited to see how Red Cypress makes a name for Orlando craft beers in distribution!

It felt like it. Luckily our head brewer has hit the mark with beer #1 so we didn't really have any beers we need to dial in prior to distributing.

There might be a couple of merlot barrels in the brewery now filled with saison and brett...

Not to be a dick, but y'all must have noticed this. Comments?

See also: Red Hook, Russian River.

In terms of logo design we have as much in common with those two as with Swamp Head. Obviously SH uses a cypress tree as well (I mean, it's FL, I have cypresses in my backyard), but the tree/name is very common logo set up across the country. We did ensure that, after we decided on a name, that we were going to ensure that visually there will be no brand confusion, and I think we achieved that.

We also share a distributor and they haven't expressed any concern either.

Also, we have a burnt wood logo that we use just as much, if not more, than the one you posted.

Fair enough. Thanks for the response!
