What Makes Our Florida Hemp-Inspired Beer Unique

Caloosa Kush stands out as a hemp-inspired beer made with hemp plant components, thoughtfully crafted to deliver a distinctive flavor experience. The “hemp-inspired” approach adds depth and character while keeping the focus squarely on craft and taste. Careful attention was given to development and compliance, ensuring the beer fits within state and federal guidelines without compromising quality.
This unique category is about curiosity and craft, bringing together Florida-inspired strains, creative brewing partners, and a commitment to flavor. The result is a beer that’s different in the best way: expressive, balanced, and unmistakably Caloosa Kush.

Award Recognition and Craft Credibility

Quality has a way of getting noticed. Caloosa Kush Hazy Hemp IPA was voted Best Beer at the 2023 SGI Brewfest, a nod to its appeal among craft beer fans. That award reflects the care and creativity behind the beer’s development, and the result is a credible, award-recognized craft beer that stays true to our brand’s Florida roots.

Our Other Hemp-Inspired Brews

Honoring the legendary strain grown in the waters of the Myakka River and mangrove swamps of Myakka City, Myakka Gold is an innovative dry-hopped wheat beer inspired by traditional Belgian witbiers. It provides a light, crisp, and clean flavor with a hint of lemon, making it a perfect choice for a hot summer’s day (ABV 4.5%, IBU 10).

Inspired by Hialeah, Florida, where vibrant culture meets bold flavor, our Hialeah Heaven Hemp Kölsch Style Ale captures a unique spirit. This refreshing brew blends a crisp, clean finish with a dank, dry-hopped profile and notes of pineapple sweetness. Perfect for sweltering Florida afternoons or lively neighborhood gatherings, it is a brew as unforgettable as the 305 (ABV 5.0%, IBU 10).

Federally Approved. Florida First.

Caloosahatchee Beverage Company spent over 6 months working alongside state and federal regulators for approval to brew Florida’s First hemp beer. There were no workarounds.  They are the first of their kind: approved at the federal level and deeply rooted in Florida’s agricultural identity. When you drink Caloosa Kush, you’re drinking a beer that required real groundwork to make possible.
