Show Notes
Ryan Sentz, founder of Funky Buddha Brewery, quit a job as a South Florida newspaper ad salesman to brew beer out of a strip mall brew pub. Funky Buddha eventually grew into the fastest-growing craft beer in Florida by making beer that tasted like food, from maple-bacon coffee to blueberry cobbler and peanut butter and jelly. It was later acquired by Constellation Brands, owner of Corona, for eight figures. Ryan joined Miami Herald food editor Carlos Frías and Miami.com editor Amy Reyes to talk about how he built it, why he is a huge Miami Dolphins fan, and why an empanada is actually a sandwich.
