Plenty of people dream about ditching their jobs and setting off for sunnier climates — longtime craft beer veterans Keith Fekete and Sam Kayata did just that, in 2019!

After a combined 22 years in the industry (Sam as a brewer at New Jersey’s beloved Carton, and Keith in sales and distro with Captain Lawrence in New York) the pair decided it was high time they joined forces to create Sun Lab Brewing. 

They also decided to escape the Northeast and head to sunny Miami, where they’re seriously flexing their creative muscles by releasing two totally new, ultra-limited beers per month. 

Today, we were lucky enough to score one of their most recent offerings!

One taste of Contemplate NEIPA, and you might think Sam and Keith somehow managed to convert some of that Miami sunshine into beer! It tastes like a big bite of crisp honeydew and ripe mango on a warm afternoon. A pop of snappy white grape and a fresh squeezed OJ finishes with just a hint of pithiness. 

You might even think the brewers added real fruit to this one, but all that flavor comes from Huell Melon, Citra, and Hallertau Blanc Hops!  

If you’re looking for a little escape yourself, you don’t have to drop everything and move to Miami. Just snag these brews and bring a little taste of the Sunshine State to you!
