Brew Hub, Lakeland

The idea of starting a craft brewing company can be romantic. Hours spent experimenting with hops, taste-testing and fine-tuning recipes—that's the fun stuff. But logistics like securing a facility or buying barrels can be tough. That's why Brew Hub has created a new business model for craft brewing. Here, businesses can work with Brew Hub to take advantage of quality beer-making products and partnership opportunities.

• Partner brewing: craft brewers can create beer at Brew Hub's facilities with the supervision of their own brewmasters, allowing businesses to grow without incurring the costs of building a new facility.
• Brewing facilities: state-of-the-art equipment, including aging in stainless steel or wooden barrels as well as custom hopping schemes.
• Tastings: Brew Hub's tasting room offers the chance to sample the fruits of the brewers' labor, with a rotating collection of ales, lagers, and stouts available.
