Employee Highlight
Say hello to our Warehouse Manager, Alexsa Gallardo, who has been a valuable member of our team since January 2022. According to her, her favorite aspect of the job is “delivering happiness! I mean, people love beer and beer makes them happy and we give them beer, who wouldn’t love that?!” Team dynamics, she explains, is why she loves working here so much. “I love it here because of the team, great communication, and the willingness to step up and assist others”. When Alexsa is not managing the warehouse, she can be found enjoying her favorite hobbies which include going to the beach with her two daughters, Charlotte and Olivia, and watching fail videos that make her laugh. While she claims to be a 2-3 on a scale of 1-10 for humor, we disagree given her answers to the following questions: If she could do anything for a day, she would be a pro stunt driver with the “Baby Driver” soundtrack playing on a loop. If she were a superhero, her superpower would be to “eat without getting fat”, and if she were stranded on a deserted island, the three items she would take with her are a lifetime supply of salami, cheese, and wine. We think that’s pretty darn funny! But then she shared a joke: “what does the buffalo say to his son when he drops him off at school?…. Bison.” *crickets*….So there’s that. (Just kidding, it’s pretty funny) In addition to her skills as a Warehouse Manager, Alexsa speaks two languages; English and Spanish. We are proud to have Alexsa as a part of our team and grateful for her contributions to Islamorada Beverages.

Meet Marissa Witte, our beloved Bartender and Assistant Manager at Islamorada Brewery & Distillery Fort Pierce. Marissa joined our team back in November 2020 and quickly became a staple in the bar, bringing a smile to every customer’s face with her warm personality and infectious laughter. Her favorite thing about working for Islamorada is the opportunity to work for a growing, local company and having the opportunity to meet so many amazing people. When she’s not making drinks and cracking dad jokes, Marissa can be found enjoying life out on the crystal-clear blue waters of the Florida coast, drinking rum runners, and relaxing with a good book under a shady palm tree. If she were ever stranded on a deserted island, Marissa would bring a fuzzy blanket to stay cozy, delicious snacks, and iced coffee to enjoy. If she were a superhero, her power of teleportation would allow her to travel more frequently so she could come and go from her private island whenever she wished and also travel anywhere else in the world she had an interest in spontaneously visiting. One thing she couldn’t live without is chapstick, which she swears by. Her favorite Islamorada product is the Islamorada Vodka, which she loves in her signature espresso martini. With a self-rated sense of humor at a 6, Marissa’s original joke is “What’s Mario’s favorite type of pants? Denim Denim Denim”. Fun fact about Marissa? She has a twin sister who brews beer in Cincinnati. Marissa is truly one of a kind, and we are grateful to have her on our team.

Meet our employee spotlight, Gianna Polito is an integral part of our team at Islamorada Beverages, working in business development and building relationships with our clients throughout SE and SW Florida. One of Gianna’s favorite aspects of her job is having the opportunity to travel and see different places throughout the state while working on building accounts with great local businesses. In her free time, Gianna enjoys staying active with hobbies like kickball, fishing, taking “hot girl walks”, and playing with her new golden doodle puppy. When asked what she would bring to a deserted island, Gianna wisely chose a fire starter, a bag of potatoes, and a water purifier. If Gianna was a superhero, she would choose the power of teleportation, so she could easily check off items on her bucket list, like visiting Thailand. Gianna’s favorite Islamorada product is our refreshing lavender lemonade, and she also enjoys the Pineapple Mango Vodka made exclusively for Snook Inn, a contract distillation she is very proud to have been a part of. We are grateful to have Gianna on our team and appreciate all the hard work she puts in for Islamorada Beverages.

He and his friend continued brewing throughout college at the University of Mary Washington where Patrick double majored in Economics and Business. After graduating, he continued his passion for brewing at two northern breweries before being recruited by the president and co-founder of Islamorada Beverages back in 2016.

Hibiscus Gin, Dark Rum, & Crooked Palm® Win BIG At The USA Spirit Rating Competition
Crooked Palm (all flavors), Hibiscus Gin, and Dark Rum ALL received accolades from a panel of high-profile spirits industry judges at this year’s USA Spirit Rating Competition. Each entry scored highly in three different categories – Quality, Value, and Packaging – in order to take home a medal in the competition. Winning Gold, four Silvers, AND Bronze medals at theUSA Spirits Ratings Competition is not only an ultimate seal of approval but also shows that Islamorada Brewery & Distillery™ makes high-quality spirits with broad consumer appeal. One of the guiding principles of the USA Spirits Ratings competition is that all spirits that receive medals in the competition should be those that consumers actually want to buy, whether it is shopping for a spirit at a retail liquor store, or ordering a spirit off a bar menu. The judging panel included spirits industry professionals with commercial buying expertise. It also included professionals from leading retail chains, wholesalers, distributors, specialty retailers, and casual and fine dining establishments. The inclusion of many high-profile judges ensured that spirits that were awarded medals in competition were those with a high degree of commercial appeal.
Key Lime Hibiscus Ale Takes Home Bronze
at the USA Beer Rating Competition
In an incredibly competitive field at the 5th annual USA Beer Ratings competition in San Francisco, California, Key Lime Hibiscus Ale won a Bronze medal. All beers were judged on a 100-point scale by a panel of high-profile judges with the extensive commercial buying experience. In an innovative twist on traditional scoring at international beer competitions, the USA Beer Ratings used a three-factor scoring system that took into account factors beyond just brewing technique or overall taste. The total score was calculated based on three different scoring factors – Quality, Value, and Packaging. To win a USA Beer Ratings award you will need to score highly in all three areas of the judging criteria. Islamorada Brewery & Distillery’s Key Lime Hibiscus Ale is available at your local Winn Dixie Store.

In her own words, “one of my proudest achievements is navigating the process of getting our top cocktails in kegs and on taps.

What we do believe in, though, is celebrating our amazing staff and their efforts to make our beers tasty, our spirits smooth, our reach far, and our image engaging.

Meet treasure coast native Paul Whitney. Paul joined our team back in December 2019 as a packaging hand having no prior experience in the brewery production industry. Due to his inherent interest in mechanics and overall brewery operations, Paul quickly moves up the ranks as a filler operator and now works as the packing manager at our Fort Pierce production facility. Paul’s favorite part of the day is the end of the day when he can relax and enjoy his well-earned shift beers and reminisce on the hand he plays in making a quality product he’s truly proud of. His favorite beer is our Nested Reel (Kettle Hopped Sour Ale). Cheers to you Paul and all the hard work you put in for Islamorada Beverages!

When Islamorada Brewery & Distillery opened its second location in Fort Pierce back in 2016, we laser-focused our efforts towards building for the future of the brand, not just for our immediate production requirements. Having launched our first Spirit in 2017 and enjoying instant support from the community, we knew we’d have to expand, and expand fast. By 2019, we had earned national recognition and accolades for nearly all of our Spirit offerings. Our north location assists in the distillation process giving us the ability to keep up with the increasingly high demand. Since then, we have expertly distilled some of Florida’s best Spirits (if we do say so ourselves) including our award-winning Gin, Hibiscus Gin, Vodka, Reserve Rum, Select Rum, and Dark Rum, along with our Silver and Spiced Rums. We are very excited for the future ahead and can’t wait to bring more of our spirit projects to market for our customers and fans to enjoy.

The Newest Batch Of
Our Reserve Rum
Aged for over a year and a half in Rye Whiskey Char 3 Barrels, Islamorada Reserve Rum’s unique flavor derives from the use of premium, GMO-free Select Molasses and our unique combination distillation process. Driving all the alcohol from the mixture through a pot distillation and using our copper column for a 5x distillation of the second run produces an incredibly smooth, light canvas for the barrel flavor to take hold. Our Reserve Rum is the smoothest in our premium category lineup. The use of small aging barrels intensifies the contact between the Rum’s vanilla-spiced body and the smoky whiskey flavor of the solid oak inner boards. Allowing time to play its part brings to life an unexpected and richly layered flavor that proves that age is much more than just a number. Available only in our taprooms, stop by to pick up this exquisite rum while supplies last.
It’s that time of year again when the flavors are just right and the rum barrels are ripe for the plucking. Aged for 3.5 years in rye whiskey barrels, this premium rum shows off the delicate characteristics of its blackstrap base while exhibiting the smooth flavors that are summoned during our extensive aging process. Each batch of our delicious Reserve Rum is unique in its own way so don’t miss out on 2022’s finest. Bottles are sold exclusively at our taprooms.

ISLAMORADA BEVERAGES TO HOST GIVE A PINT, GET A PINT BLOOD DRIVE FEBRUARY 19TH, 2022
FORT PIERCE, ISLAMORADA,
FL – Islamorada Beverages, in partnership with OneBlood, is hosting two community blood drives on Saturday, February 19, from 1:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Both locations (on the Treasure Coast and in the Florida Keys) will have BIG RED BUSES on the ready to help us reach our 500-pint goal. Donors will be celebrated and thanked with a drink voucher which can be used at any time. Help us support a great cause.
Nationally and locally, blood supplies have dropped to critically low levels, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to affect donations. In early January, the American Red Cross warned of the blood crisis – citing the 62% drop in college and high school blood drives due to the pandemic as two contributing factors. Other reasons for the blood shortage were ongoing blood drive cancellations because of illness, staffing limitations and weather-related closures and a surge of COVID-19 cases, and an active flu season that may compound the already bad situation. Overall, the pandemic has revealed the most significant shortage in the past 10 years in terms of the typical blood level of donations; about 10% lower than historical collections.
Nationwide, many areas have less than a one-day supply of type O blood—the most needed and transfused blood type that’s vital in emergency situations. The type O blood supply is at its lowest since May 2020, shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s common to assume that accidents use the most donated blood however, there are many reasons patients need blood. People needing the most blood include those who are being treated for cancer, are undergoing orthopedic or cardiovascular surgeries, or those who are being treated for inherited blood disorders. There is simply no substitute for blood and volunteer blood donors are the only source for patients in need of blood and blood products. It is a truly life-saving endeavor, and a single donation can save up to three lives. Those who are eligible are urged to share their good health by donating blood.
Pre-registration is preferred for the February 19th blood drive, however, walk-ins will be welcome all day at both locations. Register online at www.OneBlood/Donate-Now.org using sponsor code #67024 (Treasure Coast) or #67237 (Islamorada)
