USA, FL: Hop Life Brewing Company now pouring pints in St. Lucie
Hop Life Brewing Company, located just north of First Data Field in in St. Lucie West, is now pouring pints, TCPalm reported on July 14.
Before opening Hop Life, Rob Tearle and Jim Kelly worked as firefighters in St. Lucie County for 28 years and have been brewing together for six years.
The third managing partner, Jeff Blitman, although not a firefighter, also was instrumental in seeing the project through to completion.
Tearle and Kelly began their journey as home brewers. Their love of the craft, along with the ability to put together unique and flavorful taste profiles, helped them gain popularity among friends and family.
They began brewing small batches and participated in local brew festivals. When Kelly retired from the St. Lucie County Fire District, he and Tearle partnered to make their dream a reality.
Tearle, who still is employed with the St. Lucie County Fire Department, has been working double duty for months, and Kelly has been on site daily.
“It’s been a true labor of love,” Kelly said. “We have so much support from the community and our fellow firefighters. We are looking forward to spending time with old friends, meeting new ones and creating great memories.”
“That’s what life is all about,” Tearle added.
The tap room will be open daily and feature at least eight brews at a time, along with a variety of wines.
On tap now are: Batch 1 Golden Lager; Hop Life IPA; Hop Life; Red Lager; Milk Porter; Nuthouse Porter (which has hazelnuts, coconut and pecans); Brown Coconut; and Rum Coconut.
Hop Life soon will be distributing its Golden Lager to local bars and restaurants.
