Late Start Brewing
Tyler and Jordan began their beer journey as roommates in college. they started out, as most do, drinking beers they could find at gas stations and grocery stores. It wasn’t long until they found Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on the shelf, changing their perception of what beer was and what it could be. Tyler found a job at a local craft beer bar and they were officially enamored with craft beer. After trying hundreds of labels in a short time they were inspired to try their hand at brewing their own.

Late Start Brewing was born in 2012 within the confines of a two-car garage in Tampa. Within a few batches of homebrewing, their hobby turned to an obsession. Brewing as much as they could, too often starting late after sunset, finishing up in the wee hours of the morning. They started serving their beer around Tampa February ‘13 exclusively at beer fests and special events. Around this time Tyler and Jordan met Streeter when they both landed jobs at Cigar City Brewing.

So, it’s probably fitting that Zydeco Brew Works brings a bit of N’Awlins back to Tampa Bay.
