Guest Brew at Shipyard Emporium in Winter Park, Florida

Last month, University of Central Florida, Rosen College of Hospitality Management Beer class’ Professor Edmund F. Measom III won Best of Show at the Sunshine Challenge beer competition. His brew was chosen as the best out of 600 beers.

As one of his rewards, Professor Measom brewed his winning recipe with Ron Raike, Brewmaster at the Shipyard Emporium last week. The Shipyard Emporium is Florida’s first nano-brewery and is located in Winter Park, Florida.

The name of the brew is Mr. Ed's Baltic Porter. That's the name David Doble, Brewmaster of Tampa Bay Brewing Co. gave to Professor Measom’s beer when they (Dave and Ed) first brewed it in 2007 as a prize for Professor Measom’s winning Best of Show in the Best Florida Beer Competition.

Ron Raike is also a Guest Speaker in Professor Measom’s Quality Brewing and Fine Beer – HFT4864 class. He presents twice a semester on the Belgian beer styles to help the students learn to become a certified Cicerone. In the Fall 2011 semester over 90% of the students passed the exam and received this lifetime certification. Cheers!
