Aaron Anderson - Head Brewer Biscayne Bay Brewing Co.
1. Where is your brewery?
8000 NW 25th Street, #500, Doral, FL 33122
2. What was the first beer you had that made you realize craft beer was going to be a bigger part of your life?
Pete's Wicked Ale.
3. What is your favorite style to brew and why?
I Love making Saisons because the style is so loose and free that creativity can run rampant but still come out highly drinkable, haha.
4. If you were stranded on an island (with a working refrigerator that automatically replenished itself) and you could only have one beer for the rest of your life in that fridge, which would it be?
I would probably drink Ponto S.I.P.A. (Sessionable India Pale Ale) by Pizza Port Brewing Company.
5. What is you favorite music to listen to in the brewery?
Reggae (by far).
6. Which other brewery has inspired you the most? Why?
Avery Brewing Company - they were small when I worked there in 2003 but look at how they've grown now!
7. Single hop beer - which hops are you using?
Summit *but I have to kill you now.
8. Where is your favorite place to get a beer after work and why?
While there’s not much in Doral at the moment as far as brewery taprooms - I cannot wait until MIA gets theirs open because the beer is awesome and the vibe there will be as well.
9. What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone who thinks they want to get into the craft beer industry?
Go work for another brewery for a while to get the experience, listen - don’t talk! - learn from people who put in their dues, love what you do through thick and thin, and above all - please, please make decent to good beer!
10. Dogs or cats?
Lemurs
