    Since this is a regional forum, perhaps you could give a bit of information for those of us who have no idea what you're talking about. City? State at least?
    I could look it up, which I did because I had to, but it would be nice to know the essentials from the OP.

    Thanks. Tarpon Springs Fl.
    After 11 years of business, distribution in 40+ states and 3 countries, I assumed incorrectly that BeerAdvocate folks would know.

    Seriously...

    Since literally a third of the topics on the first 4 pages of this forum are brewery names with no location identifiers. And breweries that are smaller, less established, and more locally focused like Civil Society, Triple Crossing, The Veil, Etc

    Hell...Wakefield might have the hype machine in his corner, but he sells a lot less bottles than Bob Sylvester does (as basically a one man operation). Too bad Bob and Saint Somewhere doesn't get the credit it deserves cause he's not pouring powdered gatorade into the beer and then charging $20 a bottle.

    I'm not sure who I should be more embarrassed for in all this: Bob or those "beer people" who don't know his beers. Hell, maybe both.

    Bob's been cranking out, as @Bartos suggests, ridiculously good -- in every regard -- Belgian-style beers for years. He does not, however, ring the darlings' Pavlovian bells -- barrel-aged stouts or hazy NE-style IPAs -- so there aren't obsessive threads here about bottle counts or what beers he's putting out this week or how many cans he sold ... but I don't see where that's Bob's fault.

    Cheers to a grand opening indeed!

    Saint Somewhere puts out some exceptional beers. Anne is amazing.

    And I certainly hope no one had to strain anything as they Googled...

    The new spot is great. Perfect blend of Belgium and old Florida.

    Looking forward to the first batches out of the new brewery this weekend.

    St somewhere is in 40 states and 3 countries, BUT they do less than 800 bbls a year which Wakefield, veil, ect does more in packaging than ss overall production....ss only makes a few beers, so unless you are into saisons, good chance you have no freaking clue who these guys are!
