Banjos and beer are a fine pairing. However, it has come to my attention that there's a whole company dedicated to the idea of beer and banjos in the form of Bangin' Banjo Brewing Co., based in Pompano Beach, Florida.
I stumbled upon the brewery as I was at a loss for what to write today. The words "banjo" and "beer" collided in my mind and I typed into the Google search bar. Lo and behold, the first result was Bangin' Banjo, named in honor of the brewers' friend, Kevin Seltzer, a banjo player from the Gainesville area.
The foundation for the company began in 2009 when lifelong friends Adam Feingold and Matthew Giani took their shared love of craft beer and began homebrewing. It was during this time that they coined the name that would eventually become their company name.
Bangin' Banjo Black IPA was a concocted as a birthday present for Seltzer, who had joined Feingold and Giani during their Sunday brewing sessions. A few years later, they founded Bangin' Banjo Brewing. Giani serves as the company's head brewer, and Feingold is the operations manager. Feingold's younger brother Jeremy Feingold is the company's graphic designer and has crafted some, dare I say, bangin' artwork for the brewery.
Bangin' Banjo seems to have some interesting styles of beer and appears to be one of those brewers that isn't afraid to experiment. In their promotional video, they talk about their affinity for gose style, and they even have some beers with banjo-centric names like their Flatt & Scruggs IPA and Peghead American wild ale.
You can check them out online at banginbanjobrewing.com, as well as through their Facebook and Twitter pages.
If you're in the area this month, stop by to celebrate their third "banjoversary," a term which they very well may have stolen from this blog.
I have no financial ties to Bangin' Banjo Brewing, nor do I have any idea how their beer tastes, but I fully support the concept of their company. Message me if you want to send me a sample of their beer or a T-shirt. Hint, hint.
