This is the first time the Tank, which distributes craft beer to more than 250 South Florida restaurants and bars, has bottled any of its products. With a taproom and production facility near Miami International Airport, the company's Freedom Tower Amber Ale was one of the first beers it launched back in 2016, making it a fitting choice to become the brand's first bottled product.
“The Freedom Tower Amber Ale has always been a beer with a special place in my heart,” owner/founder Carlos Padron says. “We named it after the iconic Miami landmark in downtown. Aside from it being a great-tasting beer and our top seller, it serves as a symbol of hope and freedom.”
The packaging features black and white sketches of the Freedom Tower along with long leaves and part of a face. The beer itself offers a malt flavor with hints of caramel and stone fruit.
In addition to the Tank's taproom, Freedom Tower bottled beer is available for purchase at the following locations: select Crown Wine and Spirits stores, select Total Wine & More stores, Mendez Fuel, the Dorchester Hotel, Mr. & Mrs. Bun,
Customers are also still welcome to stop by the Tank's taproom to grab a pint to go, or hang out and drink onsite.
