One of the OG craft brewers in Florida and an awesome human. You will be missed. 😢

We are deeply saddened to share that our friend and founder, Tom Moench, passed away Friday. His vision and passion shaped our company and we’ll miss him so much. He put his heart into this brewery and we’ll carry that spirit with us always. Here’s to you, Tom.

Info on Tom’s Celebration of Life:

Please join us on Nov. 8, 2025, from 5–10 PM at The Plaza Live. There will be some loud live music, laughter, maybe a few tears but it will be the kind of gathering Tom would have loved. We hope to see you there. More info and RSVP: orangeblossombrewing.com/tom

📣 Small Breweries Need your Support!
Tomorrow Wednesday March 26th at 8am the proposed committee substitute (PCS) for HB 499 will be discussed. This bill would provide a much needed break in distribution and franchise laws for small breweries.
Please contact the legislators on the Industries & Professional Activities Subcommittee and encourage them to vote YES on the PCS for HB 499.
