Profile
When Mike Harting and Ty Weaver were working on a recipe for craft beer battered fish, they decided to make it with their own handcrafted brews. After a few batches, they decided to invest in their own brewery to increase their production. The pair journeyed into the beer industry and didn't look back. Harting became owner and Weaver head brewer. As they were searching for a name, the thought kept running through our minds was, “how many beers do we have to sell to put three daughters through college?” And so, the brewery was named. Craft beer has captured consumer attention in St. Pete, thanks in part to 3 Daughters' accessible brand. In 2017, it debuted it's Floating Dock Light india pale ale, the first canned light craft beer in the state. 3 Daughters creations are sold in restaurants, bars, and grocery stores in Florida, Georgia and the Bahamas.
