Orange You Glad We Started in Dunedin?
7venth Sun held its grand opening on January 7, 2012 in Dunedin, Florida by owner/operator Devon Kreps. The brewery started in a 600 ft. storefront and eventually expanded to the neighboring business in late 2013. The current 1,200 square foot brewery features 10 taps, ample outdoor seating, a 3.5-barrel system, and 7-barrel fermenters. A majority of 7venth Sun’s Saisons and Lagers are produced at this facility. There were a lot of challenges producing beer in such a confined area, but starting with small batches proved serendipitous as it allowed the creation of a wide variety of styles – an extremely liberating change from the large production brewery setting.
Inspiration Station
Inspired by Professor Fritz Briem and Schlossbrauerei Au’s Berliner Weisse (1809), 7venth Sun began developing recipes for this tart, crisp, and refreshing beer. Throughout the years, the brewery has released small batches of traditionalBerliner Weisse a numerous variations of Florida Weisse beers. We think it is a perfect style to complement Florida’s sunshine. Through collaboration with other burgeoning breweries, discussing process ideas, and dipping into the vast availability of tropical and citrus fruits the state had to offer, it was the beginning of a path that set the tone for 7venth Sun – innovatingtraditional styles by taking a new approach.
There Once Was a Lady Named Devon
Devon graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Fermentation Science. Directly out of school, she was hired to brew in Anheuser-Busch’s pilot facility and then moved up to management at AB’s Cartersville location. After several years working for AB, Devon decided to head south to Atlanta, GA to work for a smaller craft brewery. She became the Production Manager at Sweetwater Brewing and helped the company expand. Equipped with the brewing and business skills she had learned at these companies, Devon and two friends decided to team up and began to search for the right spot to open their own brewery in the Tampa Bay Area. Both of those partners have since left the business and Devon is continuing to elevate 7venth Sun’s creativity by developing fresh new recipes and utilizing surprising flavor combinations.
