We spoke with Night Shift Brewing Head Brewer Joe Mashburn about Nite Lite.

BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
This was built as a competitor to macro lagers and was conceived of as a little bit of an inside joke among the production team: "I bet we could make one of those, and I bet it'd be great."

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
We love that it's light but still flavorful and delicious. A lot of light beers taste rough if you pay too much attention -- corn syrup, artificial flavors and preservatives aren't a fun combo. Nite Lite is crisp and clean, but packed with notes of fresh bread, citrus and biscuit.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
We went with "Lite" as a cheeky nod to the light beer we were aiming to improve upon (hint: it rhymes with "Willer Wite"). And we adopted that spelling to "Nite" instead of "Night" which is our brand name. Put together it's also a fun phrase: "Nite Lite" is something to lite up your nite!

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
100% a desert island beer. Nothing beats the heat better than Nite Lite -- a great beer to wait for your rescue ship with.

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
100% Crisp!

What Are the Gambling Laws in the State of Florida in 2024?

Gambling laws in Florida have witnessed a drastic change in the past few months. The Florida Gaming Control Commission states that the following gambling activities are legal in the state:

Von Ebert Brewing in Portland, Oregon has announced its highly anticipated 2024 beer release calendar, featuring a lineup of perennial favorites and seasonal delights. The brewery, known for its commitment to quality and innovation, revealed plans for significant expansion to meet growing demand.

The core lineup, including popular brews like Volatile Substance, Sector 7, Pils, Clubhaus Lager, and Waning Echoes, will remain available year-round. Additionally, beer enthusiasts can look forward to at least 30 more unique offerings on a seasonal basis.

In a strategic move to accommodate increased production, Von Ebert Brewing has acquired a new facility on N. Cook Street in Portland. This expansion will bolster production and distribution capabilities, with the potential to increase output from 4,000 to 20,000 barrels per year. Furthermore, the brewery will introduce its award-winning Pils in convenient 12-ounce cans, enhancing accessibility for consumers.

“At Von Ebert Brewing, we’re expanding our production and distribution so we can sell more of our award-winning beer,” said Sam Pecoraro, brewmaster of Von Ebert Brewing. “For 2024, I’m excited to continue brewing what we do best through a strong series of rotating American IPAs, Italian Pilsners and seasonal Lagers. In addition to Pils, look for more 12-ounce packaging in the very near future!”

Pontoon Brewing, a revered craft brewery nestled in Sandy Springs, Georgia, has recently made headlines in the brewing industry. Following a ruling by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Pontoon Brewing has announced the termination of its brewing partnership with Community Brewing Venture, LLC (Bevana Partners). This decision stems from alleged breaches of contract and non-payment issues, reflecting Pontoon Brewing's commitment to maintaining integrity in its business dealings.

Unfortunately, this legal development has led to the closure of Pontoon Brewing's Tucker facility, which was poised to become a key production hub for the brewery's expansion plans. Despite this setback, Pontoon Brewing remains steadfast in its determination to overcome challenges and emerge stronger.

Looking ahead, Pontoon Brewing is eager to resume its distribution activities starting in May. The brewery is set to reintroduce its acclaimed brand, Rainbow Smiggles, alongside its signature beer offerings. With a renewed focus, Pontoon Brewing will prioritize its taproom experience and localized distribution efforts. This strategic shift will include the launch of new taproom events, a continued emphasis on IPAs, the introduction of a specialty IPA bar, as well as offerings such as barrel-aged stouts, fruit-infused sours, refined lagers, non-alcoholic beverages, and ready-to-drink cocktails.
