On Saturday, November 16 from noon to midnight, Marker 48 Brewing (Weeki Wachee, Florida) will host its 4th Anniversary Party to celebrate 48 months of delicious beer in Hernando County, Florida.

Opened in a former auto repair facility in 2015, Marker 48 Brewing – Hernando County’s first full production craft brewery – is a dream realized for co-owners Tina and Maurice Ryman, longtime homebrewers and craft beer fans. Over the last four years, Marker 48 has grown to not only be a source of fine craft beer offerings but also – thanks to its cleverly arranged layout, sprawling beer garden, and ability to double as a music/event venue – has become a social hub for the community.  Always relaxed and lighthearted, Marker 48 Brewing consistently provides nothing but good vibes and good times to all those who enter its doors.

“It surpassed our expectations,” Tina Ryman says. “It’s created a fantastic avenue for us to bring the community together. We’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime, too.”

To properly thank their fans for four years of support, Marker 48 Brewing will host a daylong 4th Anniversary Party on Saturday, November 16.  There are quite a few details to go over when it comes to this event, so let’s break it all down!
