Florida is the United States oldest cattle raising state. The 'Cracker Cowboys of Florida' were colonial-era settlers, often of Scottish & Irish descent, who arrived in Florida when Spain traded their territory of La Florida to the English. The term Cracker in Florida usage relates to the whip these 'cow hunters' used to herd cattle in Florida's Palmetto Prairies. The hard working 'Cracker Cowboys' helped shape the history of Florida.

Florida has been regarded by many beer lovers as a beer wasteland and in many instances, especially in Florida's modern era, that reputation has been deserved. However, there is a pedigree of brewing in the Sunshine State and the epicenter of Florida's brewing past was the city of Tampa.
The first brewery in the state of Florida was located in Tampa in present day Ybor City. The Florida Brewing Company (Later renamed the Tampa Florida Brewing Company) was founded by cigar industrialists in 1896 and survived until 1961. The La Tropical line including an ale and bock were brewery mainstays. The La Tropical line of beers were a distinct line from the La Tropical beer brewed in Cuba.
Today the building which was home to the Tampa Florida Brewing Company houses a law firm. When it was built in 1896 it was the tallest building in the city of Tampa at six stories tall. It remains the tallest building in Ybor City to this day.
The next brewery to call Tampa home was the Southern Brewing Company which opened in downtown Tampa at 700 East Zack Street in 1934 and operated until 1957. SB Beer and Silver Bar Ale were staple products. Label design for SB beer featured distinctive image of The University of Tampa prominently along with an illustration of pirates, long a part of Tampa lore. Southern also produced a Sparkling Ale and Premium Lager under the Silver Bar name as well as an SB Bock. Additional beers were Old Tampa Beer, Wurzburger Dark Beer and Florida Special Beer.
The relatively wide range of beers provides some proof that prior to WWII lager, while immensely popular, did not have the stranglehold on the market that it enjoyed from the late 60's into the late 80's. Ales were produced by many regional breweries, even in less beer savvy states such as Florida, and appear to have sold well in the marketplace.
The Desoto Brewing Company was a short lived brewery located at 1202 N Howard Avenue in what is now referred to as the NoHo District of West Tampa. Opened in 1934 the brewery had shut its doors by 1936. DeSoto Brewing produced Colonial Ale and Desoto Beer. Sadly, very little is known about the brewery and almost nothing exists in the way of labels or bottles due to the breweries short existence.
The Ybor City Brewing Company operated in Ybor City from 1994 to 2003. Five beers were brewed at the spacious brick building which housed the brewery. Ybor Gold Amber, Brown Ale, Gaspar's Porter, Calusa Wheat and Light. The brands were later purchased by the Florida Brewing Company in Melbourne, FL where they are brewed today.

Cigar City Brewing in Tampa isn''t just about making craft beer _ it''s about making beer that taste
HEADLINE: Brewing beer with a cigar twist
CAPTION: Cigar City Brewing in Tampa isn''t just about making craft beer, it''s about making beer that reflects the city''s Cuban heritage. It uses cigar box cedar to flavor beer, adds guava to Belgian style ales and aims to honor the city as it brews. (Aug. 25)
IN JUST THREE YEARS CIGAR CITY BREWING HAS LED AN EXPLOSION IN FLORIDA CRAFT BREWING . THEY BREW ORIGINAL BEERS WITH A TWIST, INCLUDING SOME STYLES AGED WITH WOOD USED TO WRAP AND BOX CIGARS.
(SOT: Joey Redner, Owner, Cigar City Brewing) (There was a local home brewer who was a buddy of mine and he''d been experimenting with putting these cidrella Spanish cedar inserts into his beers. I really loved the flavor. I thought it sort of pegged the beer as having a providence , being from Tampa .)
[VOICEOVER]
SO REDNER BORROWED THE IDEA.
PLENTY OF BREWERS NAME THEIR BEERS FOR THE REGIONS WHERE THEY ARE MADE. BUT CIGAR CITY TAKES IT FURTHER USING INGREDIENTS LIKE GUAVA, CUBAN ESPRESSO AND CITRUS WOOD THAT GIVE A SENSE OF TAMPA''S HERITAGE.
[SOT: Wayne Wambles, Head Brewer]
(We are using a single barrel beer which is like a high gravity Belgian specialty with sweet orange peel, coriander threshold elements of ginger and the we age the beer on three different types of wood.)
[VOICEOVER]
FOR YEARS FLORIDA WAS MOCKED AMONG CRAFT BEER LOVERS, BUT CIGAR CITY HAS HELPED CHANGE THAT. IT HAS BECOME THE MOST VISIBLE BREWER IN A SUDDLENLY HOT FLORIDA BEER INDUSTRY.
[SOT: Keith Dion, customer]
( I think they are very creative with their ingredients and push envelopes and take chances and risks which not a lot of breweries do.
ITS POPULARITY HAS SPREAD DISTRIBUTION STATEWIDE, AS WELL AS TO ALABAMA, NEW YORK CITY AND PHILADELPHIA.
