Saint Somewhere on Good Morning America
Why is Bob Sylvester smiling?
First, you might ask, who is Bob Sylvester? He’s the founder, brewer, etc. at Saint Somewhere Brewing Co. The “where” in this brewery is Tarpon Springs, Florida. It’s tiny, last year selling about 140 barrels of beer (somewhat more than 4,000 gallons).
But there his beer was on “Good Morning America” Friday morning. The clip is here. ABC had DRAFT magazine publisher Austin Wilson on to talk about pairing wings with beer for the Super Bowl.
You have to watch until the very end, when they are a little rushed. They move the Cardinals football helmet, you see a champagne-size bottle and the host says it’s appropriate to include a Tampa Bay beer (Tarpon Springs is right up the road). It made my day since I was a) at the brewery Tuesday, b) Bob is a really good guy and c) he’s brewing good beer about as fast as he can.
If you are headed to Tampa for the game Sunday (typed with computer mouse in cheek) you could find bottles of Saint Somewhere at Total Wine not far south of the stadium last Monday. After GMA? Who knows?
If you are reading this in Wisconsin or Tennessee you may still be able to buy it to drink Sunday. Shelton Brothers distributes the beer. So if you can buy Cantillon at a nearby store there’s a chance you can buy Saint Somewhere. Bob thinks that’s another reason to be smiling.

St Somewhere makes some excellent beer. One of the best Saisons I have ever tasted. Grab it up if you can find it.

hands down, one of the best belgian-styled beers i’ve ever tasted, & i’ve tasted thousands. i live in tampa, make periodic trips every other month or so to Orlando, Fl. a visit to knightly spirits is a must, & both offerings from St. Somewhere are available. one or the other can usually be found in my beer fridge. still hoping for a tripel or quadrupel from them sometime. SLAINTE!
