Describe Odd Breed to your friends, and they might think you’re talking about a winery. 

It’s true, this Southern Florida brewery has as much patience and complexity wrapped up in each one of their boozy creations as a top tier winemaker. The barrels and stemware at their Pompano Beach taproom even give off the same elegant vibe as a wine tasting room. 

But the bartenders here ain’t pouring no Chardonnay — Odd Breed’s a rising star on the national Wild Ale and Saison scene! 

These Wild Ale mavericks haven’t even been open for two full years, yet they’ve already been named one of the Top Three Small Breweries in the Country by Craft Beer and Brewing Magazine. Just last year, they snagged a coveted spot as one of USA Today’s Top Five Best New Breweries. 

And now you can get a taste (or a mouthful) of what Odd Breed’s all about — today’s brew is their flagship Past & Future Saison! 

Now on Batch 3 of this tangy staple, Odd Breed infuses Past & Future with malts and grains from the old world and the new. Then they tuck this tart, citrusy sipper into neutral French oak puncheons for a six-month-long nap.

You could describe the mouth-puckering citrus and fruity funk of Past & Future to your friends before they take their first sips, but what fun is that? Instead, pour them each a sample taste and watch as the lemon, berry, and lightly spiced flavors carry them from pursed lips to smiles.

Be careful how much you share though because soon your buds will be shoving their cups in your face demanding more of this easygoing, 5% ABV refreshment! 

Once you’re all out, the only way to get more will be to head straight into the heart of Florida Wild country and ask for more Past & Future from the Odd Breed brewers themselves. And by that point, you’ll probably have to wait for the next batch to finish aging. 

Batch 3 is too new for ratings, but the last two batches have 4.1+ ratings on Untappd!
